Cornelis   

Jean-CornelisvandenBroek-28_138x117Cornelis writes: "I am married to Jean and we were founder members of the church. The Lord has blessed us with six children, all of whom are active in serving the Lord at home and overseas. For forty five years I ran my own wholesale nursery business, now in retirement I oversee the church's Debtscape money advice service and have taken up vegetable growing, a new challenge which I enjoy. I have had a longstanding interest in supporting the "suffering church" and visited Eastern Europe in the 80's. Currently this interest is focused in particular on the lands in the "10-40 window"."

 

Pradeep     

Manaktalas2010-021-140x120Originally from Amritsar, North India, Pradeep came to know the Lord Jesus during an Alpha Course at Beacon Church, Chertsey in 1997. Pradeep is a Chartered Accountant running his own company based in Ealing as well as three Children's Homes for the disadvantaged in the Midlands. He and his wife Kavitha, a part time GP, have two sons and a daughter in their teens. Pradeep is a bit of a 'business junky' who enjoys mentoring men in business and in church. He often says he is nuts about his family, food, bhangra and especially Jesus!

 

PLUS there are many other people of faith serving all across the church and out into the community that it would take a whole website to tell you about all those heroes!
