About Us

Hi and welcome to the our blog. We are the Holders (Geoff, Christine, Isaac and Naomi) and we've been working with BMS World Mission in Mozambique long-term since June 2011. We're based in the port town of Beira, working alongside the Baptist Convention of Mozambique on community partnership and education development projects. 
 
Geoff is a primary school teacher who has coordinated a school partnership project called School Connect that links primary schools in Kent and Uganda. Geoff has also worked extensively in Uganda through various links at Canterbury Baptist Church. Christine is also a primary school teacher with experience of all year groups, from Reception to Year 6.

Geoff plays bass guitar, follows Hereford United and Arsenal. He enjoys watching Bear Grylls on TV or reading the National Geographic magazine. Christine loves reading a good book, watching repeats of ‘Friends’ on E4 and growing vegetables. We both enjoy mountain walking and are keen gardeners. Isaac is a bubbly, curious toddler and into everything, especially food!  Younger sister Naomi is a smiley, cheerful baby who currently appears to be training her appetite to match her older brother’s.
