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.)

Siân’s story

“Something better than this life can ever offer”

As a doctor I have seen many people in difficult and tragic situations. I sometimes hear them ask big questions: "Why me? Why am I here? What’s the point of it all?" As a Christian the Bible tells me that we can have a reason for living, that God really does care about us and we can have something so much better than this life can ever offer.
