I was born and raised in Kampala, Uganda. I moved to the UK in 2007 and during the first few years in England, I was a Youth Worker in the Liverpool and Knowsley area of Merseyside. I moved to Birmingham in 2012. I am married to the competitive and adventurous Bex and we have two boys. I enjoy playing music and taking part in competitive sports. I support Arsenal and my favourite sports are Basketball and Table Tennis. |

I was born and raised in Ohio, USA, and have lived in the UK since 2014. Along with doing the children's work at church, I also co-lead a year 7-9 youth group and work in the community cafe at Rowheath. Since I’m American, it means that I have a funny accent, but please don’t hold that against me! I love sunny days, caramel lattes and good hugs. |

I spent 10 years working in a bank before feeling the calling to mission. In 2004 I started Syzygy Missions Support Network, which cares for and supports mission workers. I love cricket and skiing. |

My wife Hannah and I have lived in Bournville since 2000, and our two girls have grown up here. I was born and brought up in Newcastle, and came to Birmingham for my work in the mid-90s. I work in the town centre as a solicitor, and when not doing lawyer and family stuff, I like to listen to and play music, tackle my jungle of a garden, and follow the highs and (more often) lows of Newcastle United. It's also been my privilege to serve as a trustee of Birmingham City Mission over the last few years. |

I am married with three children (although I may not look old enough!). I have lived in Birmingham all my life doing youth work across the city.I have been a member of the church since 2009 and currently work at Rowheath Pavilion. I'm passionate about seeing churches proactively engage with their communities through mission, Christian businesses, and charity work. |

Born in Birmingham, I studied Japanese and have worked mainly in the engineering and software industries. Life has been a great adventure since Jesus came into my life when I was eighteen, and I love exploring the meaning of life with the people who come on Alpha. I enjoy walking in the mountains. |

Apart from three years in Durham, I spent all my life in Sutton Coldfield until 2010 when I crossed the city to South Birmingham to be part of the Pavilion Community, having worked for ForMission and Rowheath Pavilion for the previous three years. I am now a trustee of Rowheath as well as coordinating the finance for both the bar, café and charity. I have specialised in charity finance for many years and continue to be involved with many different organisations. I have three grown up children and two grandchildren. |

After growing up in Fleet, Hampshire, I spent a year serving with BMS World Mission on a Thailand Action Team in 2010, then studied Theology at Exeter University. I moved up to Brum in 2014 to serve as a Church Ministry Intern here at the Pav, and now I’m working as a Mission Mobiliser for Serving In Mission, UK. I love my job – working with those exploring a call to mission, supporting them from enquiry through to debrief, and partnering with Churches to send and receive equipped gospel workers to share the good news of Jesus. I love adventuring outdoors, being creative, and anything elephant related. |
