About Our History 1994 - God gives Kel visions of the world with the Baltic states coloured black.   1999 - God tells us through Kel to go to Scotland and be trained and goto Lithuania and train others.   2000 - We move to Glasgow, Scotland to be further trained   2001 - Glasgow Central Vineyard Lithuania Support Group forms. This group presently (2004) prays for several ministries in  Lithuania, including our Vineyard community in Klaipeda   2001 - We visit Vilnius and Klaipeda and have a holiday in Trakai, Lithuania   2001 - God confirms his call to Lithuania   2001 - Glasgow Central Vineyard, as of 2004 the Glasgow Central Christian Fellowship, agrees to send and help support us   2002 - Kel is licensed as a pastor   2002 - We take a team from the Glasgow Central Vineyard to Vilnius and Klaipeda. During this time we become part of a home group in Vilnius and meet with some Pastors in Klaipeda We were both born in Dunedin, New Zealand and are citizens of that South Pacific nation. Kel served as a youth pastor in Dunedin in 1994-5 and Sharon was a journalist there for eight-and-a-half years. After attending the Vineyard Pacific School of Discipleship in BC, Canada, Kel served as a missionary in Mexico before we married in early 1998. After spending the first nine months of our married life in our home city, we worked as missionaries in the Philippines, serving in Australia for five months and Indonesia for one month on the way. We completed the Vineyard Mercy in Action primary health care school in Cebu, the Philippines, and then served with the Living Epistle Christian Family Church in Danao, the Philippines. Both Mexico and the Philippines are predominantly Catholic countries. While with this native Filipino church plant, God established through us the Manna and Quail Family Care Programme. As part of this, we cooked for and fed a group of malnourished children each day; shared Jesus' love with them; taught their mothers about God and primary  health care and provided for our village's basic health care needs. We were closely involved with all other aspects of the church plant. God then directed us to Glasgow, Scotland, and the Glasgow Central Vineyard's Harvest Ministry College, where we were students for the 2000-2001 course and intern leaders for the 2001-2002 course. We were blessed to serve the Glasgow Central Vineyard church plant  during this time. Glasgow is a very Catholic city. We are sent out by St David's Presbyterian Church in Dunedin, New Zealand, and by the Glasgow Central Vineyard in Scotland, which licensed Kel as a pastor in 2002. Kel's interests include writing, hiking, most sport and standing stones. Sharon's include photography, writing, poverty and international  current affairs. One of our favourite past-times is sitting in a cafe,  talking, reading or writing. Oh yes, and drinking coffee!
