About Martin and Elizabeth Goldsmith
Elizabeth was born in China where her parents served as missionaries, but together with Martin, they now live in England. They themselves served as missionaries with OMF in various countries in the Asean region. After returning to England, they both taught at All Nations Christian College for 24 years and influenced many to give their lives for missions. Retirement has given them the opportunity to be involved full-time in a travelling ministry - on average in a different country each month and a nation-wide ministry in UK. They are prolific and well-known authors. Some of their books are, Elizabeth: God can be Trusted and Roots and Wings and Martin: Good News for all Nations, Matthew and Mission, What about other Faiths?, Who is my Neighbour?, Life's Tapestry. They have 3 married children and 6 grandchildren.
| About Dr. Paul Bendor-Samuel
He was brought up in Brazil and West Africa where his parents worked with Wycliffe Bible Translators. He went to medical school in Cardiff Wales (1978) where he met his wife, Liz. They both trained as Family Doctors and then spent 2 years at Bible College in theological and missiological training. In 1990, they moved to North Africa where they served for 12 years in a Christian Development Agency. Initially involved in primary health, Paul spent 7 years as General Director until 2002. During this period they not only saw the range of roles and ministries of the agency broaden but also experienced the thrill of seeing God at work developing a national church. Dr. Paul Bendor-Samuel was appointed as International Director for Interserve in 2003. Currently, he is based in KL where Interserve has its international office. He is married to Liz and they have 4 sons Tom, Owen, Nicholas and Hugh. |

They will share with us the works among one of the unreached people groups – Tajikistan. From Wikipedia - Tajikistan is a mountainous landlocked country in Central Asia.
