MISSIONARIES, DETAILS OF ALL CHAPEL MISSIONARIES

Explanation of title

Until 1955, the word ‘missionary’ was used only for people working abroad with a missionary society. It was then extended to include Christian service in ‘missionary’ countries, by individuals who received a salary from non-mission organisations. Until 1990, work had to be overseas to count as ‘missionary’ work. Those in full-time Christian service in Great Britain were then given the same designation, and by 2006, the phrase ‘our missionaries’ included short-time assignments at home and abroad and also those in training for any kind of Christian service.

This section opens with an alphabetical list of everyone connected with the Chapel who has been ‘called’ into Christian service of any category (including ‘gap-years’, which were recognized in cbcOnline from the early 2000s, but not including summer-holiday placements at home or abroad; for them, see editions of the Record), followed a chronological list of Chapel overseas missionaries (whether financially supported or employed by government).

Details of those ‘called’ to pastoral ministry are in a separate section entitled ‘Ministry’; details of other full-time workers, not overseas, are in a separate section entitled ‘Home Mission’. Details of those who do not fit easily into any of these categories are given in a footnote to the alphabetical list.

Biographical details are not complete – they consist only of the information in the Chapel records. References in the footnotes to letters in the Record are generally only to up to December 1988 – there has not been an opportunity to continue the analysis beyond that.

CHRONOLOGICAL LIST OF OVERSEAS MISSIONARIES

* means they were listed in the Ter-Jubilee Conference brochure in 1958. (Gerald Griffiths was among the first to appreciate the changing needs of overseas mission and of the 30 missionaries on the Chapel’s prayer list in 1958, 7 were in secular employment for missionary ends.)

The first four names on the Roll of Honour which used to hang in the lounge of Charlotte Chapel (now in storage above the organ) are of missionaries who went to Serampore during the ministry of Christopher Anderson. John Mack was pastor of the Baptist church at Serampore and tutor at the College from 1821 to 1845 and later a professor. He was a graduate of Edinburgh University and studied theology under Dr. Ryland at Bristol Baptist College. He died of cholera in 1845. Thomas Swan went to Serampore as Professor of Theology in 1825 but died after only two years of service. In 1828 Miss Helen Mack went to the Serampore Mission Station but she too died after only two years there. Then in 1852 John Leechman, Ll.B., went to India and served for five years with the Serampore Mission. There were others but unfortunately their names have not been recorded.

� Lynne Ager, who had recently qualified in opthalmics, went in January 1991 for six months to Kano Eye Hospital, Nigeria, with the Sudan Interior Mission, and a new phrase was coined – ‘short-term missionary service’. Reports in the Record every month of her six months. She married John McCurry in Mull on 22 July 1991, then reports of being at Bible School in Austria, and together they went to Ghana in June 1995 with the German Christ. Blinden. Mission for at least a year. Report from there (no longer a Chapel member) in the Record, February 1996, p.14.

� Dr. R. Douglas Aitken, D.Sc., M.D., Ch. B., on Ter-Jubilee Missionary Roll of Honour in 1958 as having served in Palestine and then South Africa from 1928 to date. No other reference to him as a missionary has been picked up.

� Wife of Norman. Only he is mentioned as going to the post, and she was not in the 1964 list, but then she appeared on the 1965 list and onward.

� Son of missionary parents, Thomas and Caroline Allan (in list). ‘Medical student definitely going abroad’, (Record, 1951, p. 76.) M.B. Ch. (1952, pp.109, 178), National Service in Africa (1954, p. 11) employment here (1956, p. 68), impressions of Nigeria, written from Edinburgh (1957, p. 140), appointed senior registrar in hematology at the University College Hospital, Ibaden, Nigeria, so sailed with his wife and daughter, Bronwen, in June 1960.

He told the writer that he was embarrassed at being included in the Roll of Honour boards in the Chapel, as he regarded his appointment to a hospital overseas, not a missionary role. On return to Edinburgh, he was a consultant in hematology at the Western General Hospital, 1967, and retired to Church Stretton in Herefordshire.

� See husband.

� Report, January 2007. Richard is on the Associate Scheme at St Helen’s Bishopsgate in London. We are members of Charlotte Chapel, having been part of the church family during 2001–6 while working in Edinburgh (as an actuary and accountant respectively). Richard joined the Associate Scheme at St Helen’s from August 2006. The Scheme aims to help develop the next generation of servant-leaders of the church. In particular, it seeks to help us grow in Christian maturity: in theology and knowledge of the Bible; in our ability to study and teach the Bible: and in our servant-heartedness and ministry-mindedness. Training takes place in 4 ways: in the classroom, on the job as we do ministry, in practical jobs like moving furniture and administration, and through a large amount of contact with the St Helen’s staff team. My ministry area is mainly with workers in the banking sector who are part of the midweek church family, at lunchtime talks, small group Bible studies and lunchtime Christianity Explored courses. Further report, June 2007: We've had a good second term at St Helen's. A particular highlight was our mission week in February - St Helen's was transformed into a restaurant for a week of evening candlelit dinners followed by a short talk and questions to the speaker. We were able to bring guests on a couple of the evenings. We've also had the privilege of witnessing God's word at work in the lives of individuals whom we've been working with over the year. Last term training sessions included one morning a week doing exegesis of Galatians and one afternoon a week considering contemporary theological issues such as the place of Social Concern. Women's Ministry and Worship. We also had several preaching practice sessions and in addition. Rich had several opportunities to give talks at various events over last term. We enjoyed a really good Easter break skiing in Switzerland and are now well into the swing of the final term of the year. Richard is going to be staying on for the second year of the Scheme.

� At Sidlow Baxter’s tenth anniversary in the Chapel, in October 1945, described as ‘in training’ – Record, 1945, p. 173. He had discussed future missionary service with Sidlow Baxter, but had severe asthma at the time. Baxter encouraged him to consider missionary service if and when the asthma could be controlled. It was never possible to take this further, but as his name is on the 1945 list, it is only proper to mention him here. He became a deacon and an elder and spent the remainder of his life as an active member of the Chapel. Much given to hospitality – father of Kenneth Armstrong, the name abouve his in the list.

� Nurse. At Sidlow Baxter’s tenth anniversary in the Chapel, in October 1945, described as ‘in training’ – Record, 1945, p. 173.

� Dr Robin Balfour and his wife, Frances, went in August 1991 for six months to Chogoria Hospital, Kenya – Record, October 1991.

� Alexander W. Balfour and his Norwegian wife, Christina, were commissioned by the Lutheran Norwegian Missionary Society to teach English for two years (summer 1996 to summer 1998) in Longyan in Fuijan Province in China. The Mission had a long-term arrangement to supply a couple, every two years, to the school there. They attended the local church. Report in the Chapel Record, May 1999, pp. 16-18.

� In theYPM report of April 2007 as a YPM missionary (presumably short-term) in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

� In 1991, Steve Begarnie offered to work with Scripture Union in Dundee for a year, June 1991-June 1992, and the Young Peoples Meeting regarded him as one of ‘our missionaries’. This was a completely new concept in Chapel thinking for two reasons: (1) he was in Scotland, not overseas, and (2) it was for a year, not for life. His reports appeared in the Record, again unheard of for short-time Christian service, in 1992, March, pp. 5-7, June pp. 4-5. He was supported by the Chapel’s Home Mission Committee.

� ‘Connected with Charlotte Chapel’ (The Scotsman, 7 December 1912), which reported his death at the age of 19, while a divinity student for the Baptist ministry at Stepney College, London, after three years at the Edinburgh Academy.

� Hospital sister, Ceylon and Nigeria. BMS, as employee so not a Chapel missionary because employed by the Overseas Nursing Association, not by a missionary society.

� Serving with International Fellowship of Evangelical Students (IFES) in France. Introduction in Online in 2006: ‘I was born in the beautiful country of Wales in 1982, something I am very proud of. I think I have probably been a Christian all my life, but the Lord has blessed me with a really wonderful Christian family and close group of friends who have encouraged, challenged and guided me through everything. I studied History of Art, Edinburgh University 2001-2005 and became a Student Link member of Charlotte the Chapel and was baptised there in Feb 2003. This year I am working for the `International Fellowship of Evangelical Students’ in Nice, France. The French national Student group (GBL) specifically requested a team to assist local students in their ministry and evangelistic efforts. Nice has a population of 400,000, very similar to Edinburgh, and a comparable student population. The first 3 months out here have been very encouraging. 4 new Bible groups have been started at all of the key university faculties. Regular evangelistic film debates and dinner events have also been established.

� Joined the Chapel in July 1995. Christian home, parents with OMF at one time. Had completed a BD, and in 1995 was training as a nurse. In 2003, wanted to work with Wycliffe Bible Translators, but family commitments kept her at home. Accordingly, started M Th (part time) at International Christian College, Glasgow in 2003. In January 2007, sent to Afghanistan as reservist (nursing) with British army.

� Gap-year April to August 2002 with WEC mission team at Cuernavacao, Mexico.

� Last summer [2006] I graduated from Edinburgh University with a Masters in Fine Art. During this time I was privileged to attend the Chapel. In January after a Getting into Gear conference in Germany I moved to North Africa for 2 years. I hope to use my skills in art, to build bridges in order to share and be a resource to my colleagues. I've been living here for a month now and am settling into life. As the Women's Travelling Team (WTT), we will spend around 10 days every month travelling. Last week we completed our first trip. Our aim: to feel comfortable (as 2 single ladies) travelling around the country using Arabic, to meet locals and share, giving gifts of good literature, praying for people and places we visit some of which have no longer term workers. We follow up on the work of the men’s TT, by visiting women and families whom culturally men have little contact with. Eventually we hope to visit remote villages considered unreached, establishing contacts which can be followed up by long-termers. At home, time is spent studying Arabic, making local friends and meeting with brothers and sisters. Last week I visited a centre for disabled children and did some painting with them. There are many exciting opportunities to use art here and we're in the process of consolidating vision for the arts. In March [2007] we plan a trip to the mountains, staying with a Berber family.

� Asked on 4 October 1888 for ordination as a missionary to South America. The elders knew so little about him that they were unable to recommend to the church to take on this responsibility. (Elders’ Minute, 4 October 1888.)

� M.B. Ch. B. Not a member of the church but a member of the congregation (i.e., attended regularly). Her parents, missionaries in India, were closely connected with the Chapel.

On graduating, she was valedicted on 18 October 1923 to the Women’s Christian Medical College in Ludhiana, North India; she gave her testimony at the valediction; letters were published in the Record, but she was never a ‘Chapel missionary’ (not supported financially as she was ‘employed’), although she is on Missionary List in the 1958 Ter-jubilee booklet. (Record, 1923, pp. 74, 78; 1924, 5, 13, 32, 86, 88, 1926, p. 132; 1927, p. 157.)

� Colin and Karen Finlayson worked in an orphanage in Bucharest, Romania, from 1990, but were not described as ‘missionaries’ at that time.

He opened the Gordon Memorial Hospital of the Church of Scotland at Umsinga, near the Zululand border with Natal. Record, 1930, p. 37; 1931, p. 13. He wrote a letter, published in the Record in 1931, that he received the Record, remembered his time in the Chapel, and obviously had written before. Later he became the first Dean of the Durban Medical School in Natal. Wife, Audrey, two boys, one born last June. Listed in Ter-Jubilee Missionary Roll of Honour in 1958 as ‘Member of Charlotte Chapel in Overseas Missionary Service’, continuing. M.B., Ch. B., D.T.M.& H., D.P.H. Died in Surrey in 1976, aged 76.

No other mention has been noted, and since the Record not infrequently printed news of people known to the Chapel but not members of it, nor even attending it, it may be that they were not Chapel people at all.

� Diane Harry worked for three months in 1993 with TEAR Fund in South Africa; report in Record, September 1993, p. 18.

� Members. Left for Singapore in January 1957, to relieve two missionaries of the National Bible Society of Scotland there.

� Autumn 2006, Studying for a BA in Theology at International Christian College in Glasgow. Originally I come from Latvia. After finishing high school in Riga, I came to do a year out with Scripture Union Scotland. One thing led to another and this is my fourth year in Scotland. I joined Charlotte Chapel last year but was brought here for my first service the very day I arrived in Edinburgh in August 2002 by Norrie Wilson. I’ve been blessed by friendships and fellowship at this church ever since. You might have seen me singing or playing the violin. At the moment, I’m in my 1st year at ICC. I was recently elected to be Vice President of the student council of ICC - extra responsibility and work! Student placement in the Chapel in winter 2006/7.To marry Luke Wilson in Latvia on 24 March 2007. Report, May 2007: has just finished her second year at International Christian College, Glasgow.

� January 2007. I’ve been serving with Agape (also known as Campus Crusade for Christ) in Edinburgh for 2 1/2 years now, ever since completing a marine biology degree in Newcastle in 2004. Shortly after arriving in the city, I settled at the Chapel, started playing for the football team and have been here ever since. Agape is primarily a student ministry and a lot of our work involves partnering with other student ministries, such as UCCF and the Navigators. We work closely with the Christian Unions in Scotland, helping them with practical training in evangelism and discipling some of the key student leaders. We also run short-term mission trips to un-reached people groups (such as the Middle East and parts of Russia) to give students a taste of global mission and help equip them with skills they can bring back to their student community. Personally, I currently co-lead the team in Edinburgh and am responsible for some aspects of the ministry partnerships, leading short-term mission trips to Lithuania and Russia and developing creative evangelism initiatives that specifically target non-seekers. Last report in cbcOnline before this CD was closed – June 2007: Serving with Agape UK in Edinburgh. In February we hosted a team of Canadian students who came to Scotland to share the gospel and get a vision for the country, with a view to staffing a team in Glasgow in the near future. This was a fantastically encouraging time for both the Canadian and Scottish students who got involved in the project and we saw several students come to faith during the time, giving us the exciting challenge of follow up since! We also had our biggest National Student Conference yet, where 333 staff and students hit the streets and student houses of Manchester and Liverpool to talk to students about Jesus and what they believe! This was an extremely exciting weekend and we saw many students get a fresh vision and make commitments to a life of mission. Some of the fruit I'm going to directly experience as I lead a project to St Petersburg, Russia, with 17 of these guys in June. In July I am going to Honduras for work-experience as preparation for my Masters.

� Short-term placement (one year) with Mother’s Choice in Hong Kong. I am 22 years old. I have been involved for several years with YPM and served as mission rep on the YPM Committee in 2005. Currently I am taking a year out in Hong Kong to work in an orphanage here. I have been here for a few weeks now but it feels a lot longer! The orphanage is called Mother’s Choice and takes care of babies up to 6/7 months and also has a separate unit for children with special needs, ranging from Downs Syndrome to cerebral palsy. I am currently working with the babies and will more than likely spend most of my time there. It has been brilliant so far and my confidence has really shot up with the babies so thanks for all your prayers already! The more time I spend here the more I can see God really working in this place through the staff and all the local volunteers (up to 15 per day!). I live with one other girl at the minute from Sweden and I have my own room which is spacious. Further report in CBCOnline 2/07 – on her first three months. Last report in cbcOnline before this CD was closed – June 2007: Serving with Mother's Choice in Hong Kong. I can't quite believe that I am coming to the end of my time here in Hong Kong (ending in July 2007). Looking back - it really has been a roller coaster ride with lots of big ',, changes within Mothers Choice and also emotionally and spiritually. The Hong Kong government has recently brought in a lot of rules and regulations which have to be met. This has meant lots of things that you can't do now, e.g.: you can't kiss the babies or show them too much affection as this could cause colds and flu. You have to wear masks a lot of the time when they have runny noses (which is nearly all the time). It is a different place than when I first came. We as volunteers are coming together to pray about the situation as the children are being affected by all the rules, that the Chinese people follow so strictly. But it has forced me to keep my eyes on Jesus and trust Him that He has not abandoned the place. He is ultimately looking out for the children's well being. Good news! Leo has been fostered and my precious boy Eric is getting matched with a family and adopted soon! As they get older they really need a normal lifestyle and a family environment. Thank you for all your prayers throughout this year! God has really used them!

� I have been coming to the Chapel as a student, hugely benefiting from the solid Bible teaching. I am originally from Enfield in North London and have just graduated from Edinburgh University with a degree in English Literature and Russian Studies. I became a Christian in my first year at University when I was invited to a discussion group about Christianity run by the C.U. called ‘ Just looking’. This year after much prayer and reading about guidance, plus some encouragement from key people, I decided to apply to I.F.E.S. (International Fellowship of Evangelical Students) to work with students in Yekaterinburg, Russia. I will also be teaching English part-time at the local University while I am there. (Record, September 2000, p. 20).

� Attended the Chapel as a student, then to Leipzig and then to the USSR (Record, August 1991). To Minsk, Belarus, Russia, with IFES in 1992 and 1993, short furlough here. Full member. Engaged to Sergei, a Russian, in summer 1993, returned to Russia in autumn 1994 for six months, then they both hope to return to Britain for further study. Living in Brighton, March 1997, and transferred membership to Bromley Baptist Church, September 1997.

� Worked with HCJB Christian broadcasting in Quito from September to November 2001; no other information noted from Record until May 2007, when (presumably the same person) reported that he plans to start a course of study this autumn at International Christian College, Glasgow.

� Born in Hong Kong, boarder at Dollar Academy, attended the Chapel for a year to October 2003 while studying architecture at Napier University, baptized, left Edinburgh in September 2003 to work with Young Life in Colorado, initially for one year.

� Kirsty left Edinburgh in mid-February for Nigeria, where she will be for the next six months. She is a qualified Physiotherapist, who will be based at Holley Memorial Hospital, as she works among the people there. This is a placement organised by Mission Africa, formerly the Qua Iboe Mission. (Record, 2007, issue 2, p.25.). Last report in cbcOnline before this CD was closed – June 2007: I've been at Charlotte for over 2 years and help lead FBI with Chris, Pip and the team. In February 2007 I moved to Nigeria to work, as a physiotherapist at Holley Memorial Hospital, Ochadamu; a rural, mission hospital. It has been very difficult right from the start. Before I came I had no idea how different this country would be! The food, weather and living conditions are completely bearable. It's the selfishness and corruption that are difficult to deal with. Even Christians are fighting over trivial issues, and when I say fighting I mean; witchcraft, lynching, arson; right in the hospital! I worked in the hospital (HMH. Ochadamu) for 2 1/2 months but, after much prayer and consultation with Mission Africa, have moved up to the city (Jos) to be with other missionaries. I am hoping to be able to work with the physiotherapy team at Evangel Mission Hospital in the city but am currently just settling in and spending some time healing. It's not all bad! I have seen so much hard work and faith in God at HMH that I've been humbled many times by the Nigerians there. The church in Nigeria is only just over 100 years old and is experiencing many of the issues Paul describes in his letters to the early church. It is however, growing very fast and many pastors are seeking God faithfully and honestly. I am hoping to benefit from working closely with experienced missionaries while here in Jos with the intention of returning to Ochadamu at the end of June to continue the work there. (Home at end of July 2007).

� Leon Murray is ‘employed’. Not a member of the church but a CSC student who went to Nyassaland on full-time Christian service in 1923; never treated as a Chapel missionary. (Record, 1923, p. 66; 1924, pp. 13, 88).

� Teaching English in Madagascar. I am 18 years old, left Royal High School in June 2006 and have a place to study geography at St Andrews University in September 2007. Since leaving school I have worked in a cafe to help finance this short term mission opportunity. I was brought up in the Chapel and became a Christian in my teens. I served for a year on YPM Committee and have also been a young leader in Beavers. I have also taken part in one of the singing groups on a Sunday evening. I am in Madagascar with AIM Synergy for 6 months where I will be teaching English as a foreign language in a school for missionary children. I arrived here on 15 January 2007 along with Katherine from Wimbledon, who is the same age as me. Last report in cbcOnline before this CD was closed – June 2007: Teaching English in Madagascar. It is near impossible for me to choose what to write in this extremely short update as so much has happened over the past few months. I have now been in Madagascar for exactly 4 months and have around 2 months left here. I continue to work at Madagascar Christian Academy, Monday - Friday, and today we enjoyed a farewell ceremony/party for the AIM team leaders who are leaving this month to start a new ministry in North Africa. At the orphanage in Ivato, there have been some problems recently, with the family running the orphanage not distributing money and food fairly between the orphans, but rather keeping it for themselves. It is tragic to see this injustice coming from a Christian family. After much prayer, the situation seems to be rectifying itself. Although there is still a major language barrier between the orphans and me, I have realised that even my being there and giving up my time to teach them simple songs etc, could be such a good witness to them. It has been so exciting for me to even see some of the girls there turning up to our church on Sunday mornings! (Home at end of July 2007).

� Training with Ambassadors in Sport in Leeds in December 2006. ‘Hello everyone, my name is Graham Penman and I have just completed my first 2 months with Ambassadors in Sport. I’ve grown up in the Chapel, where my parents have brought me since I was born. At the beginning of the year I felt a calling to have a gap year and work, using my love of football and combining it with my love for God. My whole job in Leeds is a football-based ministry. Evangelising through football, getting involved in the communities to impact them with the Gospel message. It’s been a great start in Leeds. God is doing some amazing work where we are and it’s a privilege to be involved in the work there. My week consists of primary school football coaching, high school coaching and various youth clubs. A lot of different projects have been started, which I and the rest of the Leeds team are continuing to build up and progress.’ Update, CBCOnline, 4/07, very involved, off to USA in summer 2007. Last report in cbcOnline before this CD was closed – August 2007: Training with Ambassadors in Sport in Leeds. I've just finished my internship with Ambassadors in Sport. If you would like more info on my year email me for my news letter. I am writing this from the USA where I am currently serving with AIS on a 5 week tour. Before I left for the US 1 had just returned from Italy where I had also been on a 2 week mission trip to Rome and Naples. Just to clarify, these were not holidays - I just landed up going to nice destinations on missions!! In the same letter as I have mentioned there is a lot of information about the tours both Italy and the US. At the moment I have just started my first soccer school of the summer with Parkside Church Ohio. We have just over 190 kids here to coach and to whom to minister the Gospel. In September, coming home to study at Napier University and that I would be able to continue football ministry in whatever way God wants to use me.

� Working as an Apprentice at Enfield Evangelical Free Church. Thank you to those who have prayed for me since starting at EEFC on Sept 1 2005. It has been a busy and challenging time. My week is split between involvement in the activities of the church - building relationships, teaching God’s Word and 1-1 work. Another third is studying & attending the Cornhill Training course. It has been great joining with the many other apprentices on Tuesday & Friday mornings for training in Christian service. We each take turns in preparing talks (gobbets) which the others give us feedback on. The rest of my time involves practical tasks - preparing rooms, the sound system and anything else that needs done. I also work one day in a local Dept store. I am in the Toy Department (great fun at Christmas)! Some of you know I was excited at the opportunity for a football outreach among children on a local estate. As I start my 2nd year in Enfield it looks like being an exiting and challenging one so your prayers are greatly appreciated. We have a few new things starting which I will be involved in. We are starting up an after school Bible study group for teenage boys. Many of you have prayed (& given thanks) for the football outreach which we started this time last year. We hope to build on that and start some kind of after school club in the Bush Hill area of Enfield. This year I will also be doing the Moore College Bible Correspondence Course. Report, May 2007: just finishing his time of placement at Enfield Evangelical Free Church and will be starting a course in Theology and Pastoral Care at Oak Hill Theological College in September. Last report in cbcOnline before this CD was closed – June 2007: Working as an apprentice at Enfield Evangelical Free Church. Thank you all for your prayers over my last 2 years at Enfield. I am now entering my final few months as an apprentice in Enfield - it's amazing how time flies. The last months look like they will be as busy as ever. The Moore Course Module this term is looking at the Old Testament, particularly the Pentateuch. The last few exams have gone fine but this one will be harder work with more reading. I am looking forward to starting at Oakhill College in September.

� Working in Newcastle as a Parish Assistant at Jesmond Parish Church. Earlier reports do not seem to have been copied here. This is April 2007 cbcOnline: The last few months have been exciting and busy for many reasons! The highlight was definitely Tom asking me to marry him! Wedding plans are in full swing as we plan to get married on July 20 [2007]. Being involved with the Newcastle Christian Union in February was a real privilege and I was reminded again by the countless opportunities we have to reach international students, many of whom have never heard of our Lord Jesus. Globe Cafe is going well this term and by the time you read this we will have returned from the Easter Weekend Trips. These have been really encouraging times in the past where friendships are developed and students have the chance to read the Bible, sometimes for the first time. It is always exciting to see God at work in the lives of individuals as they begin to understand the gospel.’ Last report in cbcOnline before this CD was closed – August 2007: Working as a Parish Assistant at Jesmond Parish Church. By the time you read this Tom and I will have been married, God willing, on the July 20! I am finishing my current post at church at the end of Aug and I am starting teacher training (secondary maths) at Newcastle University in September. Tom will continue to work at Jesmond Parish Church (JPC) in the role of Student Worker. We have a lot of changes to get used to in the coming months! I look back over the past 2 years with thankfulness to God for all that he has taught me and for the privilege of seeing him at work in the lives of international students he has brought to Newcastle. I thank God for your partnership in the gospel over these past 2 years and for your prayers.

� Mrs Ann Samuel is 59 [written in December 1996] and came to faith just over a year ago. She attended church as a young woman, but had no real faith, so stopped going. For 33 years she was happily married, and knew real despair when her beloved husband died. At that time one of her ex pupils came to visit her and spoke to her of his Saviour and of her need of salvation and comfort. She began to read the Bible and attend church, where she found that the Lord was speaking directly to her again and again. Coming to faith was not easy, but in July 1995, she knew she had no choice and surrendered her life to Christ. Joined the Chapel in December 1996.

Update, March 2007: ‘I started my research in January and so far it has been an exciting time of uncovering material in various libraries and taking a lot of notes! I have only been a little frustrated by some unsuccessful attempts to find a job and a flatmate and sort out practical things. My subject. George MacLeod, founder of the Iona Community and one of most famous Church of Scotland ministers, is set in the historical context of the interwar period. I am looking at his approach to social justice in the social, political and theological context of the time. The issues are very, relevant today, e.g. in the role of faith and the church in political debate and the church's relationship with the state.’ Last report in cbcOnline before this CD was closed – August 2007: Studying for a Masters in Theology at ICC, Glasgow. I am thankful to God for answered prayer as I have started a part time job as Church Officer at St Anne's Church of Scotland, which will provide practical experience and also essential income for me to continue to study Sadly, however, my applications for funding have not been successful and I am having to review whether it will be possible for me to continue and upgrade to MPhil for the second year. I am considering a number of possibilities about where and how to serve.

� In Online in December 2006, training with Ambassadors in Sport in Bolton. ‘19 years old and I am currently doing a Football Ministry course in Bolton with Ambassadors in Sport. I will be in Bolton as an intern for a year. The year is 2 months old, and our week is very busy. Living on Johnson Fold estate where the majority of our work is being done really helps things, because you get to know the kids and the people living on the estate. We are trying to pour prayer into Johnson Fold in everything we do. The kids and the parents pick up the negatives straight away, so we have to focus on God in all we do. This course involves a good amount of Bible teaching, also working as a youth worker for the church and doing football coaching in the school on the estate. I have chosen the player stream, which involves getting to know the non Christians on the team, being an example to the guys on and off the pitch. We will have chances to go to other countries to coach and play football while trying to spread the love of Jesus Christ by doing, again being an example to the other players and children. This to me is not a `year out’ of any sort, but the start of everything I feel I have been called to do. One day I want to set up an Ambassadors office in Edinburgh.’

� Joined the Chapel in October 1998 with her husband, after attending for some months. In Papua New Guinea with Wycliffe from 1964-83, translating the New Testament for the Iduna people. Home in July 1983 to marry Alex Watt, Wycliffe Scottish Committee chairman, and to work in the Scottish Wycliffe office. He had no prior mission involvement of his own, but facilitated the Iduna Old Testament project in Papua New Guinea from Edinburgh. Last report in cbcOnline before this CD was closed – August 2007: ‘Facilitating the Iduna Old Testament project in Papua New Guinea. Three of the Iduna team have met with Bill Callister who has laid out work for them to get on with over the next months. Furniture for setting up a translation office on Goodenough Island has been despatched. Meantime here much was accomplished by Joyce's week in the Western General by wav of tests/scans that made clear the primary was an adenocarcinoma of the lung. The cancer has spread to liver and brain as well as spine and ribs. Why God allowed this to remain hidden so long in spite of valiant efforts by our GP to discover the root of the problem is a mystery we keep having to put in the Lord's hands. He has held us in a peace we couldn't possibly have manufactured - a yes answer to your prayers. Our living room resembles a card shop - we are astonished, humbled and uplifted by the outpouring of love and prayer going up from all over the world. Treatment has included one strong dose of radiotherapy to relieve bone pain, daily cocktails of painkillers, and granting of a new, very expensive drug (tablet) called tarceva, which targets all the cancer cells to stop them growing and dividing. It's unlike chemotherapy which hits healthy cells as well. However. I am getting increasingly weak and breathless and it would appear that the tarceva may not be working. The oncologist is giving it a further 5 weeks' trial. So we are much in need of our heavenly Father's intervention. A blood test showed that I was very anaemic and I have received a blood transfusion which we trust will give increased strength. Quite a heavy burden has fallen on Alex as 'carer'. He is doing a terrific job!’ In September, her condition deteriorated rapidly, and only palliative care could be given; Joyce died on Monday 17 September 2007. The October issue of cbcOnLine carried this note: ‘When we began to plan this edition of cbcOnLine we hoped that Joyce would remain sufficiently strong to see it through - something that gave her great pleasure. Sadly, her condition deteriorated more rapidly than any of us expected and it has had to be completed without her. I'm afraid we haven't been able to include some new faces this time.’

� Miss Jean Wightman went to train with the Worldwide Evangelisation Crusade in January 1952 (Record, 1952, pp. 28, 178, 180). She finished her general nursing training, had two years with WEC in Glasgow, and then planned to go with the Soldiers and Gospel Mission of South America to Chile. She had further training at the Belfast Bible College (Record, 1955, pp. 106, 198) and was given a Chapel grant to go to Chile (Deacons’ Minutes, 1 February and 7 March 1956). Details of the Mission in Record, 1956, p. 29, and of her plans to go in September 1956 (Record, 1956, p. 61). Fare was £148, the deacons contributed £74 (Deacons’ Minutes, 4 April 1956). The Mission were not going to support her in the field, so she cancelled her passage and resigned from the Mission on 4 July 1956 (Deacons’ Minutes, 6 June 1956). A Jean Wightman (? the same person) married in the Chapel (Record, 1956, p. 169) and settled here.

� Summer 2007 - a member of the Maintenance Team at Lendrick Muir.

� Mentioned as ‘recently associated with the Chapel’ in Record, 1940, p. 109.

� The concept of the 1950s, namely missionary work by Christian men and women seeking secular employment in lands overseas, was no new pattern, for William Carey was an indigo planter from 1794 to 1800. He wrote: ‘I now inform the Society that I can subsist without any further monetary assistance from them’. Then, as happened in the 1950s also, he was misunderstood at home and the prayer support, which he so much needed, was withdrawn. He and modern missionaries follow the steps of the first missionary to the Gentiles, who worked at his craft of tent-making in Corinth with Aquilla and Priscilla.

� Closing date on the board may be wrong - see section Helen Mack on the CD.

� See John Leechman on the CD.

� See Andrew Leslie on the CD. He is not on the Chapel Missionary list because he was supported by a church in Coventry, but his conversion, under the ministry of Christopher Anderson, strengthened the link between the Chapel and the work in Serampore.

� The surname on the Chapel board is ‘Collard’ and in the 1911 ‘Momento of the Closing Service’ in the old building it is ‘Coillard, Madame, (nee Chris. M’Intosh)’. The Chapel board says ‘Africa’ and the 1911 list says ‘Upper Zambesi’. These details are repeated in the Ter-Jubilee booklet in 1958, p. 19.

� Robert John Ellis joined the Chapel by baptism on 20th June 1850, and his position in the Church Register (entry 59) shows that he was one of those who adhered
