South Park Chapel in Ilford appointed Shenazzer Ephraim as evangelist and disciple maker at a service on 26 January.
The chapel was founded in 1906 and has been seeking to make Jesus known ever since. Times have changed and the demographic has changed but the gospel is still the same and is still the power of God to save people.
A small independent evangelical church with a strong commitment to the ministry of all members, a few years ago they decided that to build the work they should employ a full-time Elder. Since then Jeremy Middleton has served in this role along with his wife Mary. Jeremy is now retiring, and Shenazzer has joined from Dundonald Church.
