    • Dave and Michele Mahon

      Mission Workers in Peru,

      Dave and Michele are both Baptist ministers. They are passionate about the scriptures, especially in the areas of pastoral care, prayer, discipleship and the ministry of the Holy Spirit. Dave and Michele felt called by God to leave London with their young family and serve with BMS in Peru. After arriving in 2017, they initially worked in the Peruvian Amazon, where they trained and supported local pastors and churches. In January 2023, they relocated to the coastal city of Trujillo to join a Baptist Seminary, where they are involved in preparing Peruvians for mission. Their heart’s desire is to see people experience the abundant life of Christ.

    • Laura-Lee Lovering

      Creation Stewardship Coordinator, BMS

      Laura has been serving as an environmental specialist with BMS World Mission since 2012. Initially she worked in the Peruvian Amazon, developing environmental and educational initiatives through the Nauta Integral Mission Training Centre. In 2021, Laura relocated in-country to Piura and took up the role of Creation Stewardship Coordinator for BMS and the local Baptist partner. Her focus was split between the wider goal of embedding environmental sustainability across all BMS's activities and promoting creation stewardship locally through theological education and practical church-based projects. In 2025, Laura transitioned back to the UK to continue her role as Creation Stewardship Coordinator for the whole of BMS. She also enjoys connecting with churches who want to find out more about how to play their part in creation care.

      Mission worker with our partner organization JMM

      Ingrid and Roger Hamlet joined BMS World Mission in January 2024, as allied health professionals working in prosthetics and orthotics. On completion of their missions and language training, they moved to Guinebor II Hospital in N’Djamena, Chad, to set up a Prosthetics and Orthotics Department. They met at university, where they both studied prosthetics and orthotics. In recent years, they have spent a lot of time playing Lego with their two children, Mark and Joel!
