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.)

John Mosey’s story

“'Pan-Am Flight 103 has exploded'… the unthinkable slowly expanded, filling not only our minds but every nerve and cell of our bodies… That’s Helga’s flight.”

For us Christmas 1988 has become the watershed which separates all the events and memories of our lives. The first emotion I remember as I turned on the TV at 9pm on 21 December was one of sympathy, for the passengers, crew, and the people of the small Scottish town of Lockerbie. My sixteen-year-old son, Marcus, sat on the sofa while Lisa, my wife, perched on the arm and I stood beside her. “The poor people!” I remember someone saying. Then they began to give details – “Pan-Am flight 103, flying from London to New York, has exploded above the Scottish border at about three minutes past seven.” “That’s Helga’s flight!” burst from Lisa’s lips.

Oasis
Oasis is a weekly meeting for bible-study and fellowship. It takes place on most Tuesday afternoons between 2:00 and 3:30 (with breaks for school holidays). Each week a different guest speaker brings a word from the Bible, and there's plenty of time for fellowship over a cup of tea and a cake.
