Art and Debbie Cunningham are seeking to plant a church in the north of England when they return to the field after furlough.

They have served the Lord in Birmingham, England, where they worked with Joseph and Louann Abraham in planting Grace Bible Fellowship Church. The Abrahams started this work in 1995. The Cunninghams first served here as furlough replacements in 2001-2002 and returned in October 2007 after helping a church plant in Slough, England.

They are studying the Urdu language with a view toward reaching the many Pakistani Muslims in Birmingham and around the UK. They desire to see the conversion of many Muslims and to plant a church with these converts, training them for the ministry in the UK and in Pakistan.

 Robert and David, their twin sons, have spent most of their formative years in England and have attended the state schools. They have a number of friends who are Muslims. They enjoy playing football (soccer) and computer games, and they love to read.
