Our Mission focus for March  - Billy and Joanna Coppedge. Billy and Joanna are missionaries serving with World Gospel Mission. They were in Uganda and South Sudan in Africa for training church leaders. Billy found Bible Storytelling to be a powerful tool within the African context for communicating the Gospel. He used storytelling for evangelism, discipleship, pastoral training and children’s ministries as his way of teaching the Bible in Africa. He felt God calling him to get further education in this way of teaching. 

Last year Billy and Joanna and their family transitioned from World Gospel Mission to serve under special assignment in the United Kingdom where Billy worked on his doctorate degree in Bible Storytelling and Training Church Leadership. He has been reassigned to Uganda, Africa working in the African Gospel Church since 2005.

Billy and Joanna have 5 children. Elsie Jayne – 11, Lucy – 9, twins Sophia and Chloe – 7 and Blake – 3. They are very appreciative of all the support we have given them through the years.
