Alex, Ellie and Isaac Hawke: All Nations Christian College UK

Alex grew up in RLBC and married Ellie in 2002. Between 2003-2005 they served with Mercy Ships on two occasions in countries in West Africa. For 3 ½ years from January 2006 they served with Iris Ministries in Mozambique where among their roles was caring for forty teenage boys, girls discipleship, teaching in Iris’ Bible School and working with a team of local pastors on outreaches and seminars.

They are now in a season of further training in theology and mission at All Nations Christian College in Hertfordshire where Alex is completing a degree over two years in Biblical and Intercultural Studies and Ellie is studying part time. Their son Isaac was born in Jan 2009 and they are looking forward to the birth of their second child in Feb 2011.

Their heart is very much with the broken and the outcast, particularly children at risk and with reaching the unreached with the good news of Jesus. At this time they are considering where God is leading them following their time at All Nations.

Please pray for:

For a rich and beneficial time of study & growth
For the safe arrival of our second child in February 2011
For the development of fresh vision for the future from God, something which has begun to form in our hearts.

The flag of Mozambigue consists of green, black, and yellow horizontal stripes separated by white fimbriations. In the hoist is a red triangle. The green stands for the riches of the land, the white fimbriations signify peace, black represents the African continent, yellow symbolizes the country's minerals, and red represents the struggle for independence. The rifle stands for defence and vigilance, the open book symbolizes the importance of education, the hoe represents the country's agriculture, and the star symbolizes Marxism and internationalism.

Past History

Mozambique became independent in 1975, and became the People's Republic of Mozambique shortly after. It was the scene of an intense civil war lasting from 1977 to 1992. The country was named Moçambique by the Portuguese after the Island of Mozambique.
