The European Mission Fellowship (EMF) held a special farewell and welcome service on 12 March at Welwyn Evangelical Church in Hertfordshire.
They said goodbye to outgoing director Martin Leech, who later this year will take up a pastorate in Australia. Those being welcomed were Martin’s replacement Ian Parry, founding pastor of The Bay Church in Cardiff, and Steven Bowers, pastor of Cornerstone Church in Brighouse, West Yorkshire. Steven is taking up a new post as assistant director with responsibility for running the headquarters and administration.

Jan Hábl, an EMF missionary in the Czech Republic, attended the service. He was converted through the ‘faithful and persistent work of EMF’. Around 25 years ago he met the director of EMF shortly after the totalitarian regime in his country had fallen.
