Alan and Megan Barker

Alan and Megan are in their third decade of service with BMS. With their three children, Alan and Megan left their lives in Cambridgeshire in 2000 and followed God’s call for them to start a new chapter as BMS World Mission workers in Nepal. They have since lived in Kathmandu, Surkhet, and Pokhara.

Together they now serve as capacity strengthening coordinators, working with BMS partners all over the world. In addition to that global outlook, Alan uses his expertise in project design and fundraising while working for a BMS Nepali partner organisation. And Megan uses her occupational therapy skills, to grow rehabilitation services with a focus on supporting and mentoring young Nepali therapists. This is especially important in Nepal, where people living with disabilities and their families are often mistreated.

A family with a big heart for travel and adventure, Alan and Megan’s three children and grandchildren now live in the UK, South Korea and Vietnam. They both love to keep fit, read and also Leicester Tigers rugby team. And when Alan is listening to his beloved Blues music, you might catch Megan knitting, crocheting or sewing.
