Terry Quick

As one of the world’s most influential cities, London is a global, strategic city with 10 million people from 190 nations speaking over 300 different languages. The top 100 unreached people groups in all the world are represented in London. Tim Keller says, “There’s no better choice of ministry setting than London—if you really want to make an impact on the world.”

In 2023, our church sent out Terry Quick to serve with the International Mission Board in London. Terry focuses on partnering with UK churches to share Jesus, make disciples, plant churches, and develop leaders. One of those partner churches is All Saints Church in Wandsworth, London.
