Jake & Lizzy living in a house near the church would mean they could be right at the heart of our community - being able to invite neighbours to their church in their community, and being close at hand to the church members they are serving. A house would also give Jake and Lizzy the space, garden and security that any young couple needs to bring up a family in the community.”

~Nigel, Elder

Could you provide a loan or donate to the deposit fund for Jake and Lizzy to move closer to Enfield to live incarnationally in the community they love and serve?

Having moved to North London in 2021 while Jake studied full time at College to train for ministry, Jake & Lizzy sensed a strong calling to live near the placement church where they immediately felt at home. It became apparent that this was the church they were called to, so Jake accepted an invitation to Pastor the church full time – a place they had grown to love deeply.

Jake has been in post for six months now, and relishes the opportunities to preach, lead and care for the congregation and, with the Elders, leads the pastoral care, discipleship and evangelism. They are excited about the future.

Lizzy is fully involved with every area of church life, particularly taking a lead in the music team, toddler and youth groups and caring for women in the church family.

We are seeking loans and donations to secure affordable housing in Enfield, enabling us to put down roots and grow relationships in the community we love and now serve. This will aid the church in being a bright light for the gospel in our area.

Jake and Lizzy are committed to serving God in Enfield and need to find a permanent home. They love the work that they do in the UK and long for a home that can be a base for their work and hospitality.

A home suitable for their requirements will cost in the region of £650,000 – which is more than they can afford. That’s why they are working in partnership with Mission Housing – a Christian charity that enables key Christian workers to afford accommodation.
