Cambridge to Madagascar

Julian Hardyman has ended his ministry as pastor of Eden Baptist Church in Cambridge and is heading unexpectedly to Madagascar.

He had become Associate Pastor in 1996 and then Senior Pastor in 2002. To their surprise, Julian and wife Debbie (see photo) discovered the Lord was calling them in a sudden and dramatic way in a single weekend in September 2021 to leave Eden and Cambridge, to serve as missionaries in Northern Madagascar. The church joined in the discernment process and so their pastor and his wife will become Eden Mission Partners and members of evangelical mission organisation SIM.

They will be working at the Good News Hospital, Mandritsara, a remote market town and regional centre of 20,000 people. The hospital and its wider project, in close collaboration with the local Bible Baptist Churches, serves a population of 300,000 people, most of them living on less than £2 a day, in an area the size of Yorkshire.
