Deb and Dug Benn
who are members of Romford Baptist Church in Havering – where London meets Essex. They have been married 30 years and have two sons: Joe, married to Laura, and Josh, married to Rosie. Part of Deb and Dug’s call to work for BMS came from the witness of Josh who was on a BMS Action Team to Ecuador in 2006/07.
Prior to joining the Baptist Missionary Society, Dug worked with the NHS for 25 years as a therapy radiographer, latterly in a senior role including being a clinical learning facilitator. Deb trained initially with National Children’s Home and has been involved in childcare for 34 years. She was a childcare inspector for 17 years, most recently with Ofsted. Between them they have been involved in a wide range of ministries including youth work, Sunday school, worship leading, audio-visual, diaconate, safeguarding, small groups, hospitality, family support and toddler groups.
Dug and Deb are currently serving in long-term mission in Uganda, based in Kampala. They are working in partnership with the Baptist Union of Uganda in the Children’s Department.
