We are the Nightingales
We are Maurice and Rachel, devoted followers of Jesus, and committed to His Kingdom mission to see the gospel shared, disciples made, churches planted, leaders raised up, and networks of churches established across across the world, particularly in Europe in this next season.
ABOUT US
Both originally from London and having had the privilege to raise our family of four children in Norfolk, our current family base is in Ipswich in the UK, where Hope Church Ipswich offers superb support for us and our family, including the recent addition of two grandchildren!
Maurice is on the leadership team at Hope Church in Ipswich, UK and is part of the core team leading the Relational Mission, a global family of churches.
Drawing on his 30+ years of experience in church ministry and leadership, he works to see leaders raised and church families equipped to express New Testament values within their own individual cultural context and language.
He loves jazz, anything that flies and hanging out with friends watching any form of sport.

Alongside enjoying the adventure she and Maurice are on investing in our churches in Europe, Rachel runs her own business supporting those who live with Neurodiversity. This includes supporting those who already have a diagnosis in the context of home, education, church, business.
And also enabling the wider community to learn to understand better what living with Neurodiversity is like, how Neurodiversity impacts everyday life and how we can create a more Neurodivergent friendly world.
Rachel loves family life (four grown up kids and two gorgeous grandkids to date), exploring and learning from other cultures, languages (bilingual in Spanish) and discipling women to see them released to be the women God has made them to be.
