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.

million. (2009)
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.
