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.)

Nigel’s story

Life was going the way I wanted it to. I had plenty of money and was very philosophical. I thought if everyone just smoked dope, then the world would be a happier place and without wars. The aim was to turn the whole world on.
