Matt and Lisa and their three children Joshua, Charis and Lydia have been sent by Avenue Community Church, Leicester to serve in Jos, Nigeria.
Having both served as single Short Term Associates with SIM Nigeria, God has led Matt and Lisa back here since 2023. They are passionate about sharing the gospel with the people of Nigeria and building the faith of those who have already heard. They want to use the skills and talents God has given them to care for those in need and to demonstrate practically the love of God to them.
Matt works as a Physiotherapist, providing rehabilitation and therapy for those who need it and also training other healthcare workers in rehabilitation principles. He is also involved in facilitating, encouraging and mentoring Short Term missionaries who come to serve with SIM Nigeria. Lisa uses her teaching, discipleship and trauma healing skills to empower vulnerable women and children in deprived areas of the city they live in, and to help them grow in their knowledge of the gospel.
