As part of their roles, they disciple and mentor students at Moffat.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\">Moffat Bible College has been a part of AIM\u2019s strategy for almost 100 years and currently has students from many different people groups and nations from East Africa, as well as some students from further afield such as Indonesia! As the church in Africa continues to grow, their vision is to help to train a new generation of gospel workers to reach unreached people groups, first throughout sub-Saharan Africa and then further afield.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\">Cristyn has recently returned as a MA student online at All Nations Christian College where she and Dave took the Certificate \u00a0in Theology and Cross-Cultural Mission before heading to Kenya. Prior to that, Dave completed further study with an MA in Systematic Theology and has a certificate in Counselling.\u00a0<\/div>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\">Dave and Cristyn are in Kijabe with two of their children, Stevie and Caleb. They have a third child, Josiah who went to be with the Lord in 2022.\u00a0 As a family, they enjoy being outside in the garden, exploring the local area, cooking, reading and watching live sports.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\">They are passionate about equipping a new generation of Christian leaders and evangelists through the study of God\u2019s word,
