Blackwells in Britain

Ben and Heather are serving in ministry in the UK. After 12 years of training pastors and ministry leaders in Houston, God has called Ben to serve as the Principal of Westminster Theological Centre in Cheltenham, England. And Heather is serving as a children’s director at a church plant in the neighboring town of Gloucester.

Given this challenging setting, leaders of ministries there need to be deeply grounded in theology and deeply formed with a love for the church and the world. With WTC’s innovative training model, Ben helps form leaders with a vibrant faith who are committed to biblical truth so they can serve the Kingdom in this secular space. In addition to traditional students, WTC is also starting the first degree-level training inside a UK prison.

This missional role means that Ben and Heather need friends and family from home to stand with them in this journey. For many of you that will be keeping them in your prayers.

For others, that means your financial support as well. WTC is covering most of our costs, but the additional financial support opens the opportunity for Ben and Heather to minister in this setting. Ben and Heather would greatly value your prayer support. They would like to invite you to sign up for their prayer/update newsletter, which they send out quarterly.

While England has historically been a Christian country, only about 4% of the country attends church now.
