Director of Operations

Maura, together with her children and her husband David, worked in Ethiopia with Serving In Mission for 11 years. On their return to Reading in 2007 they had the privilege of setting up an international outreach project from Carey Baptist Church with the aim of serving the local community.
They rejoined Serving in Mission in 2012 to develop two:nineteen, a project supporting and equipping local churches to meet the needs of their international communities while also looking at cultural/biblical issues within the church.
They love the diversity and richness that multicultural Reading offers and the opportunities they have to share their faith.

Maura loves family holidays, fast cars and hot tubs in the snow!
