Steve & Marcia McLean

Marcia and Steve McLean have been church planting in Wales since 2008 and were sent to the field by Mount Calvary Baptist Church in Greenville, South Carolina. Steve is from the Seattle area and Marcia is from western Pennsylvania. They met in college and were married in their sending church and have four daughters.

The Mcleans moved to the town of Rhuddlan in 2011 in order to lead in a church planting effort. They are focused on leading Rhuddlan Evangelical Church in reaching a younger, very unchurched generation. The main areas of ministry include outreach in the local village school, discipleship, and forming relationships within the community in order to open doors for the gospel. Wales is a part of the United Kingdom made up of 2.9 million people where both English and Welsh are spoken. Though once the scene of great revival, Wales has the lowest church attendance in the United Kingdom. Only about 2% of the Welsh population claim to attend an evangelical church of any kind.

Frank & Sherry DiBagno

The DiBagnos ministered in Italy from February 1983 to December 2018. They lived and served in Deruta, near Perugia, in the center of the country. Personal witnessing, literature distribution, Bible studies, and church services formed their chief ministries. They opened their first church building in February 1995 and moved to a larger one in 2009. Just before leaving the field, they had the joy of moving the church once again to a larger facility.

When Frank and Sherry retired from the field of Italy in 2018, the church was left in the care of Tom and Stephanie Boehm, who had worked with the DiBagnos for four years. On returning to the USA, Frank and Sherry settled in Greer, SC, and have continued to seek areas of ministry. They participate actively in their local church as well as helping in a Bible correspondence ministry, serving as a chaplain in the local detention center, ministering in a women’s crisis center, and helping in a children’s Bible club.
