About the Biddell bunch

Home is Lymington which is located in the New Forest, Hampshire, UK and we have worked in full time missions now for over 7 years. For most of that time we have been based in Newcastle working with the Africa Mercy but have spent time in Africa on field assignments and in the USA completing training. Our sending church is Lymington Baptist church where we both came to know the Lord

Mark (Old !) Marks background is construction management in the UK and enjoys nothing more than being on a project site, anywhere! the children keep him busy although at times he says its like “herding cats” and could open a workshop fixing stuff for the children.

Sharon ( not so old!) As well as being a busy Mother of 4 she is enjoying teaching herself and the children Thai and is looking forward to attending language school. She enjoys a challenge, meeting new people and experiencing new cultures but is not looking forward to big spiders, cockroaches and snakes!

Jake (14) is skate board mad at the moment and his goal is to set up a community skate park for the local children in Khao Lak. Jake enjoys working with Mark and is quite at home working with local people helping on the projects. He is looking forward to doing home schooling but is a bit apprehensive about learning the language.

Luke (10) Loves computers and anything to do with IT. Luke is looking forward to spending more time on the computer even if it is doing his school work. At the moment Luke is completing training to be a football goal keeper and enjoys getting very muddy in the process.

Joshua (6) Life is one big adventure for Josh he loves to be busy and enjoys new environments and new people. Josh is brimming over with excitement and anticipation for his new life in Thailand. Say’s he doesn’t mind going to a Thai school as he’s a quick learner.

Sophie (5) Sophie and Josh are like 2 peas in a pod. She too has a very busy nature and loves being around people no matter how young or old. Sophie’s focus for Thailand is getting on the beach in a swimming costume! She is excited about starting school this year with Josh.
