Mission partners
As well as serving Wadhurst and the surrounding communities, we also believe it is important to support the wider Christian Church. One way we do this is through our mission partners.
Alan and Debbie Burt are serving with Crosslinks in Cape Town, South Africa.
Alun works at St Thomas’ Church Heideveld, teaching the Bible and aiming to disciple young men in a community which is deeply affected by the legacy of apartheid and stricken by drugs and gang culture.
Debbie is raising the profile of adoption in the local church, and supporting families that have already taken these steps.
They have four children: Likhona, Ilana, Malachi and Timothy.

Nick Russell
Nick serves with the Church Army in SE London, where he works with children’s groups, including many from a very deprived background, offenders, and people whose lives are afflicted by drugs.
Much of this outreach is done through various groups like Coffee Stop/Friendship Church, Superkidz, 5-11 clubs, Youth Clubs, XLP Partnership Detached Work and Superkidz Mentoring Programme.
Daniel and Sarah Brito Medeiros
Serving with Church Mission Society (CMS) in Brazil
Daniel and Sarah Brito Medeiros live in the North-east of Brazil with their two children Sophie and Ana. As CMS Mission partners they work with Revive, a ministry in Olinda that, "restores lives and renews hope" of children and adolescent girls-at-risk. Daniel and Sarah provide opportunities at Revive for the children to know God, experience His presence and be transformed by His love through worship, dance, prayer and devotionals. They are also part of a team working in a poor community, partnering with the local church to make disciples and bring healing through dance (Sarah) and football (Daniel) ministries.
