Ruth has been a full time worker with CEF of Europe in the area of web design since 2017. God has blessed each of us with gifts and He also provides the tools for us to use these gifts effectively. In a world which is continually advancing in technology, CEF are branching out to give more people the opportunity to be involved in children’s work across Europe and beyond. Ruth’s role will be to look after existing websites and help CEF develop other websites to bring information and training to more people who will be encouraged to reach many more children with the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is my desire to use what God has given me to help tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord (Psalm 78:4).

I was 13 years old when I trusted the Lord Jesus as my Saviour. Just a few short years following this life changing moment I also came to realise that God had a plan for my life – one that would steer me away from a career in the Police force in Northern Ireland to full time missionary service with Child Evangelism Fellowship in Central Europe. In 1990 I made my first trip to Romania with CEF which soon after became my “adopted” home (I have been living in Sibiu, Romania since 1992).

Since 1992 I have led the CEF ministries in both Romania and Moldova. What a blessing it is to see both of these regions now with leaders from within their own national borders. This answer to prayer has led to a change in my role within the mission so that from 1 January 2017 I became responsible for CEF’s education ministry in the European region.

David was raised in Ballykeel church and upon feeling God’s call on his life, stepped out in faith by attending the New Tribes Mission Bible College.

Andrew was raised in Papua New Guinea where his parents were missionaries with New Tribes Mission for a long number of years. After returning to Northern Ireland Andrew worshiped at his home church for a few years before starting to attend Ballykeel baptist. Andrew became very active within the life of the church serving as a youth leader amongst other roles. Feeling God’s call on his life Andrew went to study at New Tribes mission college in England. It was here he met Joanna (from Germany) and they eventually were married.

Andrew & Joanna are currently in Asia Pacific undertaking national language study.

was born in Northern Ireland and accepted Jesus as her Saviour in September 1986 in Potomac, Maryland, USA. Recognising the Lord’s call on her life, Roisin lived in the Former Soviet Union for 27 years. During her time in Russia Roisin was involved in facilitating Bible study groups for Russian and Jewish women and young teens and was part of the leadership team in this ministry, working there on behalf of Messianic Testimony. A Russian speaker, Roisin lived for a number of years in a region of Saint Petersburg which was historically known as the Jewish quarter. This led to friendships with Jewish people who lived in that neighbourhood.

As well as being available to speak in churches on behalf of Messianic Testimony, Roisin facilitates at prayer groups which have been set up to pray for the work of Messianic Testimony in reaching out to Jewish people.
