Nathanael and Anna Ayling (Sapporo, Japan)

  • Nathanael and Anna Ayling (Sapporo, Japan)
  • Becca Jones (Kiwoko, Uganda)
  • Alan and Pat Davey (Bordeaux, France)

Anna spent several years living in Craig Cefn Parc as a child, before moving to London after university. There she met Nathanael whilst they were both serving as associates at St. Helens, Bishopsgate. Both Nathanael and Anna studied at Oak Hill College, Anna studying youth and children’s ministry for two years, and Nathanael Theology and World Missions for three years. They married in 2007 and since then the Lord has blessed them with three precious boys; Ethan, Micaiah and Boaz. The Aylings are OMF missionaries in Japan working with KGK (the Japanese equivalent of uccf:thechristianunions) as well as leading an OMF outreach to students called fmZERO. (Anna was one of several church members whose story was featured in the Real Lives newspaper.)

Growing together… in God's Word
Growing Together is a monthly meeting for all those who want to to understand the Bible better, and put into practice what they learn. Each month we cover two topics with plenty of time for discussion and questions. To make the most of our time together, each member of the group reads a short book each month, to help prepare for the discussion.

Alison Stewart’s story

“I opened a Bible and the words “the truth will set you free” just stared at me. The next eighteen months were the best in my life.”

I got caught up in the drug world and became addicted to heroin. But by the time I was thirty, I just wanted to be clean. This lady from Teen Challenge, a Christian organisation that helps people like me, came to see me. She said that Jesus was the solution to my problem. I thought “What a joke!” but I wanted to be free and I’d already tried everything else so I gave it a go.
