DAVID

WILLIAMS

David and Rachel Williams served as missionaries with Crosslinks in Nairobi for nine years, where David was involved in theological education with the Anglican Church. David has led CMS-Australia’s training ministry since 2008, based at St Andrew’s Hall in Melbourne. St Andrew’s Hall equips long-term missionaries to work in a wide variety of cultures around the world, so David and his team have extensive experience in equipping Australians for cross-cultural ministry.

MARTY

SWEENEY

Marty Sweeney is from Ohio (USA) where he lives with his wife Abby and their four children. For the last six years he has been on staff at Old North Church, in charge of adult ministry and training. For the last twelve years he has also been running Matthias Media in the States. These roles have afforded Marty ample time with pastors across the country learning about how churches shift their culture themselves towards disciple-making.
