John and Esther Mburu work in Kenya, where they pastor two churches. Esther is a nurse by training, who trained at Kijabe mission hospital where Nick and Helen Waring worked for five years. Together they have planted and nurtured a growing congregation and seen it multiply in numbers and impact for God's kingdom. Many African pastors get little financial remuneration from their own churches so at Bethel we have decided to help this family gain stability by providing financial support. They have two daughters, Mercy (aged 10) and Grace (aged 7) and a baby son, Samuel. In Kenyan tradition, you may hear Esther and John referred to as 'Mama Mercy' and 'Baba Mercy'.

John Barnard from the "Seamen's Christian Friend Society" periodically visits Bethel to update us on his work at Immingham Docks. The SCFS gives pastoral and practical support to visiting seamen at Immingham and elsewhere in the UK and abroad.
John leaves Bethel laden down with gifts of clothing that all go towards helping the seamen during their brief stay in the UK.

Gabriel and Daniela Corradini live and work in Asturias, northern Spain where they work with Spanish Assemblies of God, church planting in a spiritual desert right on our doorsteps. They have two sons Stefan (5) and Jonathan (3).
