In late July, Steve and Gill will be training new mission workers heading overseas.
There are 16 adults and 7 children on the course, from the UK, Germany, Switzerland, Korea and France. Karen and Anna will be running the children’s programme.
The course takes place at Bulstrode, the home of WEC International, but the participants are from other agencies too. The new staff will be working at Bourofaye Christian School in Senegal, Faith Academy in Manila, Sejong Global School in Korea, and the International Christian School of Budapest.
