Mr David Townsend   

I worked in the chemical industry for 30 years as process operator and industrial fireman and retired in 2000.

My wife Caralynne [Lynne] and myself have been married for 41years we have two children and three grandchildren.

I am a deacon of Mount Pleasant Baptist Church Barry.

Although I had known Danny’s son David for many years, he is a friend of our son, it was not until after I retired in 2000 that I met Danny, Having spoken to him I prayerfully sort the Lord to see if I could help the work of AguAvivA. 

In 2004 I went out to Brazil to witness the work and have been involved ever since.

Rev Ken Iveson

 

Since Jan 2002 I have been the Pastor of Mount Pleasant Baptist Church in Cadoxton, Barry.  This is where Danny O’Brien was saved and baptised and the church family love him and highly regard him, Sandra and Lucas as honorary members.  I served in this church as a student Pastor for the summer of 1982 and received a similar sense of God’s calling on my life there as Danny did too.

 

My wife Betty and I had a vision from the Lord which was shared with others in 1982 to set up the charity known as Hebron Hall Christian Centre. I was a trustee and the director of development for 25 years and retired last year from the board.  Therefore, like Danny I have experienced the struggles of developing a grass roots ministry of Christian service for the Lord Jesus Christ.    Though not in the front line in Hebron Hall these days, we still live at the centre and are committed to its ongoing progress.  

 

For several years now like so many others, we have sought to support Danny and his family in the work of AguAvivA in Brazil and this sense of fellowship with the team in Belo Horizonte has deepened this past year.  In March ‘08 when we heard that Jon Hill was leaving after many devoted years of serving AguAvivA, I offered to serve for twelve months as the administrator of the support group to the ministry.

 

What has been accomplished in a relatively short space of time is remarkable, yet there is still much to do in Belo Horizonte. I feel very privileged to join the support group and have enjoyed meeting the outgoing members in recent weeks and catch something of their dedication and commitment as they move on to other things.          

AguAvivA is a model for Church and as it continues to develop has great potential to transform the society where God has planted it as the Apostle Paul said, “For a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.”
