Peter and Kathy Clark
The Clarks have worked in the Middle-East and North Africa teaching the children of co-workers there. They are now in the UK, as Peter has advanced Alzheimer's and has moved into a nursing home. Kathy supports Peter in care and continues to work with the asylum-seekers and refugee community in Leeds.
Peter is from Leeds, England, and studied Music Education before beginning teaching. Kathy grew up in Houston, Texas, and also studied Music Education at Texas Tech University.
After teaching in England, then in Conroe, Texas, the Clarks felt the Lord calling them to provide Christian schooling for children of “workers” overseas. They taught for 7 years (from 1997) at Whitman Academy, in Amman, Jordan. Then for 13 years ran a small MK school in North Africa.
Now the Lord has led them into a new ministry! With instability and war in so many countries around the world, Europe is finding itself inundated with refugees. This provides many opportunities to reach even more people with the Hope of the Gospel! The Clarks relocated to northern England early in 2020 to work with asylum-seekers and immigrants, teaching them English, helping them settle in and become contributing citizens of their new country, and sharing the Truth of God’s infinite and unfailing love and grace.
