Peter and Sarah Sholl

In Mexico, Peter will be the director of MOCLAM, an organisation that provides the Moore College Certificate in Theology course to Spanish-speaking students all over Latin America. People from all walks of life – pastors, student workers, church members – study in groups or as individuals to delve deeply into God’s word. As they understand the Bible as a whole, they get to know God better and are transformed personally as they learn.

“Our students have grown tremendously in their knowledge of the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ and his redemptive ways among men due to study of these courses.”(Latin American Pastoral Training Coordinator)

God had been preparing Peter and Sarah for mission work for many years before they knew it. Both grew as Christians at the University of New South Wales, were trained at Moore College, and Peter served as the Rector of St Matthew’s Ashbury. Peter has also seen the benefit of the Moore College course by teaching in Africa on four trips.

At CMS Summer School 2006 the proclamation of God’s grace, combined with stories of people’s hunger to know God’s salvation in other parts of the world, caused Peter and Sarah to question their role. The MOCLAM job was advertised, and they both thought, ‘We could do that!’ After much prayer, discussion and contemplation, they’re now excited and feeling well equipped for what God has in store for them.
After a year of learning Spanish language and culture, the Sholls will be based in Monterrey, in northeast Mexico. Peter will promote, teach and administer the Moore College certificate course. Sarah will support Peter, care for Karina, Lucy and Miriam, and be involved in ministry within our church and community.

‘Please join in partnership with us as we seek to see people in Latin America transformed by Christ through understanding the Bible more deeply.’
