Born in Sahiwal, Pakistan, in January 1989, and spent most of the first ten years in Pakistan, attending the Elementary Department of Murree Christian School. Having been with us in Coleraine from 1999 to 2007, he's lived longest in Northern Ireland of all three. Memories of Pakistan include "dal" and "roti" in wayside cafes, building treehouses in Murree, and the Bull mastiffs he played with in the neighbour's house that were bigger than he was.
In Ireland, Dalriada School in Ballymoney has been very good for Colin, especially the sixth form years, and he has made many many good friends. It's been hard to leave Coleraine, but the introduction to Southampton University has gone well so far. Four years of an MEng degree in Aeronautical Engineering lie ahead, and then he'll be ready for anything.

We think of ourselves as world Christians, people with an open heart, a keen awareness of what God is doing in his world, and a clear commitment to be involved in that wherever it takes us. We're parents of three wonderful children and grandparents of two wonderful grandsons. We've tried to instill in them this same open outlook on life. We currently live in Athens, Greece, having spent many years in Pakistan , Portugal and in Northern Ireland
