John and Carol Cartmell, our Mobilisers for the north of England and north Wales. John is our Area Director for the north of England and north Wales and Carol provides much needed administrative support. The Cartmells have wide experience of Africa having lived and worked in the far north of Nigeria for eight years. They have been able to visit several other countries in Africa to observe and support aspects of Christian work. These include: Chad, Cameroon, Niger, Kenya and Tanzania, plus a number of visits to North Africa. John and Carol have three grown up daughters, the two oldest of whom were both born in Jos, Nigeria. The Cartmells are members of Parr Street Evangelical Church in Kendal where John is an elder and Carol a Deacon.
The work of an Area Director is varied and challenging to say the least, and includes:

• Preaching and speaking in churches and other meetings
• Making the Mission’s work known in churches, schools, colleges, prayer groups etc...
• arranging regional conferences
• encouraging and advising missionaries
• processing enquiries and applications for overseas service
• maintaining and strengthening links with sending churches
• keeping in regular contact with prayer groups and providing information

As with those who go overseas John and Carol are dependent on both the prayer and financial support of God’s people. This has been demonstrated to produce a strong partnership between prayerful givers and those they support.
