  Brief Personal Histories:

Personal: Darren is married to Shan and they have 4 children: Elliott, Lloyd, Rhodri and Nesta. Darren has worked for a Christian Trust in Scotland whose ministry was the care for the elderly.  Both Darren and Shan attended the Brethren Bible college in Motherwell (GLO) for one year between 1994-1995 and from 1995 until 99 Darren and Shan were employed by Mackintosh Evangelical Church in Cardiff as their full time Church Workers. 

In 1999 Darren and Shan moved to Mid-Wales where they joined the work of Impact Schools Team whose aim is to communicate Christian Values in School, (Darren now also directs this work across North Montgomeryshire) and joined Newtown Pentecostal Church (now Hope Community Church) where they shared their burden and vision for Llanfyllin.

Darren writes "Looking back over the years of moving and adding to our family, we have seen God's faithfulness reach the skies.  We have sought to follow wherever He has led and are thrilled to be in this place today ready to do whatever He asks us to do, whenever He wants us to do it."  

Personal: Jonathan is married to Carolyn and they have 2 adult children Rachel and Mathew.  Jon was brought up and saved whilst in the Brethren Church.  After his marriage to Carol their family worshiped at John Street Gospel Hall in Shrewsbury until he joined the Armed Forces in 1979.  Whilst serving around the world with the Army both Jon and Carol were active members of the Soldiers, Airman Scripture Readers Assoc (SASRA).  In 1997 Jon and Carol moved into the Llanfyllin area and became active members of the Chelsea Lane Baptist Church in Welshpool.   On retirement from the Forces  in 2001 Jon became a Gardener and ran a Christian Book Stall in Welshpool Market.   In April 2003, Jon and Carol were amongst the families led by Darren and Shan, who helped establish the Community Church in Llanfyllin.
