After growing up here at MBC, it was more than thirty five years ago, and following a pastorate in Falmouth, that John and Sue Wilson signed up with the Baptist Missionary Society and began working in France.
Now, newly retired, this coming Sunday that’s the 24th of November the couple return to Moortown, the final stop on a tour around the UK that has been expressly mapped out in order for them to thank their many supporters.
John, who between 1981 and 1983 served as our first ever Youth Pastor is the son of former MBC Deacons David and Robina Wilson, who were themselves BMS missionaries.
This Sunday’s event which starts at 4pm takes the form of a tea, but besides there being plenty of food and drink, it will also be a great opportunity for us to hear firsthand what, during more than three decades serving in France they believe God has been doing.
Do come along, that’s everyone, young and the not so young. David and Sue’s connection with MBC is not only long standing, but its a wonderful demonstration of how down the generations God finds ways and means of enabling us – no matter who we are – to spread the good news of Jesus both here at home and abroad.
The picture above shows John chatting with Beacon regulars when he and Sue last visited MBC in 2023.
