Overview

Mission

In the last 6 years of being in England and ministering in the UK and Europe, we have spent much of our time ministering and teaching in Bible schools. This last year, we felt a shift in our hearts, and we started ministering mostly in local churches. As we shared with you previously, we felt the calling to be pastors, and were making plans to start a church in Berkshire, England, where we have been living since moving to the UK. Then to our surprise, in the fall we were extended the offer to be the pastors of GoChurch Bradford, 4 hours north of us. We felt God say "yes! and we felt much peace as we answered "yes!" right back.Sometimes God moves in 'suddenlys', and we have found ourselves 'suddenly' moving! We moved today, in fact! We will be installed as the pastors of our new church this Sunday. We feel overwhelmed with peace and joy in this transition. God has provided for us a wonderful home in Bradford that we look forward to using to gather church members and community. When Rose

What it reported doing in 2024

Planted International had a busy year. We hosted our ? rst conference in Yorkshire, England, where we held a ministers' conference that welcomed ministers from the UK and across Europe to take part. We received many great testimonies from the conference and hope to plan another one in the future.This past year, we were still based in Bradford, England. We served as the pastors of GoChurch Bradford, where we worked on outreach to the community of Baildon.Other projects we continue to invest in include the Farsi Book Project for Club1040.Through this project, relationships have been built with other ministries in the Farsi-speaking world. We also took part in a conference hosted in Turkey, where we ministered to Farsi-speaking believers for a week. There are future plans to continue working toward ministering to Farsi-speaking people groups in Turkey and other areas.
