The origins of Asian Ministry at St. Paul’s Church

In April 1988, a Finnish Lutheran missionary came to Slough and started ministering to Ethnic minorities in the Parish of St. Paul. It was the desire of the then Vicar, Rev. Gerald Kaye, to have a couple who would work among Asians who live within the Parish. This role was taken up by Norman and Denise Critchell, who are also Crosslinks Mission partners. Their main emphasis was to build up good relationships and friendships with the Asians, and to make themselves available for help, service and ministry in many different ways.

After the Critchells moved on to other ministries, the Parish employed Wilson and Rebecca Gill from 2000 to 2005, then Gilbert & Uzma David from 2005 to July 2011. Both Wilson and Gilbert finished their training for Ordination from the Oxford Diocese and are serving the Lord in the different Dioceses.
