Iain, Mairi, Isaac, Elijah, Ariadne and Ezra Hepburn

Iain, Mairi and the family have been on the long road toward mission. Although the Lord put it on their hearts a number of years ago, it slowly became something that could not be ignored or avoided. It is a call that has been confirmed by those around them and the churches they work amongst.

There have been a number of delays, which at the time were frustrating, but now can be seen as ensuring that the family go at the right time. They see it as the Lord teaching them patience; pruning and moulding them in preparation for leaving. For example, the delay during Covid allowed Mairi to complete two years of counselling modules in Aberdeen University and the three-year certificate in counselling with Biblical Counselling UK. She is now starting a course with Mental Health Aberdeen to become a volunteer counsellor.

Having been a lecturer in Old Testament, biblical languages and biblical ethics for a number of years. Iain is currently working with an episcopalian church helping support them during a time of vacancy. Iain is looking forward to lecturing and developing programmes with the Namibian Evangelical Theological Seminary (NETS) in Windhoek, where his passion for theological education and equipping churches will have a perfect outlet. He also enjoys writing and has now published his second volume of ‘50 Hebrew words’

Mairi has been a teacher for 27 years. Her role currently is in supporting children’s health and wellbeing. Whilst education may well be part of her Namibian future, her priority would be helping the transition for the family, Isaac, Elijah, Ariadne and Ezra.

Please pray:

  • that more donors would come forward to support the mission;
  • that they will continue on this path when the time of waiting is increasingly stressful;
  • that no health issues will crop up that could cause delay.

Pray regularly for Iain, Mairi, Isaac, Elijah, Ariadne and Ezra Hepburn
