My name is Gary Mace and I have a real passion and desire to make a significant difference where I can; the Kilimanjaro challenge is one way that I can do that! I am married to Jan and we live in the Nottingham area. I have been around education [secondary school] for many years and have taught science and maths. In 1998 - 2004, I spent six years in Australia at Hillsong Church where I undertook the Diploma Of Ministry at the Bible College and taught in a Christian School. Since returning to the UK, I have worked in a range of schools and Jan and I are now Associate Pastors of Risen Life Church [www.risenlifechurch.co.uk]. I enjoy keeping fit [which is good for the challenge I am about to undertake] and enjoy travel to different places. My faith in God is the foundation of my life and underpins everything that I do.
I am taking on the Kilimanjaro challenge on behalf of Compassion, a church-based child sponsorship charity working in 26 countries around the world. All of the students have come from backgrounds of extreme poverty and been supported through Compassion’s Child Development Sponsorship Programme. Having graduated from this programme with their lives transformed, these students have been identified as potential young leaders who aspire to continue their education and training but lack the necessary resources to do so. With the help of Compassion and the fundraising efforts from this challenge, these students will be given the education and training they need to become agents of change for their communities and nations long into the future. Jan and I are already sponsors of four children through Compassion, two of whom are now in their teenage years and will be making choices for their future.
