Meet Our Missionaries

David Collins

Though God placed overseas mission ministry on my heart as a child, I spent most of my adult years focussed on pastoral ministry in Australia. But in 2012, Wesleyan World Missions invited me to consider a role as National Director of Theological Education for the Wesleyan Methodist Church in Solomon Islands and Principal of Noro Training Centre.

 

My journey has now finished and I’m now entering a new season with a continued focus on theological development for WWM in the South Asia region as the Director of Theological Education.

This continued focus reflects a deepening passion to equip and empower emerging leaders for ministry across South Asia – a region where half the world’s unreached people groups have yet to hear the Gospel. The vision is to stregthen local leades who will disciple others and advance God’s mission within their own communities.

Testimony

My ongoing passion is spiritual leadership development; prayerfully and practically investing myself—by my very presence—in the lives of a select group of men and women; so I can patiently mentor and develop them into the kind of effective disciple-maker that I myself am also becoming, as a result of personally receiving that same ministry from others.
