BibleLands Appoints New Regional Rep for Central England

International Christian Charity BibleLands is delighted to announce the appointment of a new Regional Representative to cover Central England. Su McClellan will visit churches, groups and schools in the region and develop existing support for the Charity’s continuing vital work with vulnerable and disadvantaged people in the lands of the Bible.

Su said, “My interest in the Middle East became a passion after visiting the Occupied Territories in 2004. Experiencing first-hand some of the many difficulties and challenges facing people every day in this troubled region made me realise how important the work of organisations like BibleLands is. I am really looking forward to meeting BibleLands' many supporters and to forging new links with those who long to see peace, stability and hope in the Middle East today.”

As well as an active faith, Su brings with her a wealth of professional experience. Having started out as an evangelist in the Church Army, her other roles have included youth worker, family centre manager, hospital fundraiser and volunteer coordinator.

Head of Communications and Fundraising, Tricia Pruden, said, “We are delighted to welcome someone with Su’s commitment and experience to the team. In developing and encouraging support across the Central Region, her appointment will undoubtedly make a huge impact on the work of the Charity.”

Su lives in Kenilworth and is married to an Anglican Priest. They have two children. In her spare time she enjoys climbing, hill walking, running and music.
