The People We Pray For and Support around the World

Ian Cathie, Development Associates International (DAI) Staff Worker

As part of the church’s commitment to support the work of Christ globally, the congregation provides prayerful and practical support for Ian Cathie, an Australian staff worker with DAI.  DAI is working across the world with a special focus on training and mentoring Christian leaders in countries which have expressed a special interest and need for such support.  Ian is working alongside Christian leaders in PNG, China and India.  

This role was previously exercised by Max Meyers, a good friend of Portland, whose brief included working with Christian leaders in Russia and Africa.
