She was also active in the women’s group at the local church that the Rossington family attended. As well as home-schooling Martha and Joe, she was Vice-chair of the Board of Governors of Rain Forest International School, which Zoë attended. Jan was involved in a variety of ministries.

He also checked their work to ensure that it was as accurate, clear, and natural-sounding as possible. Bruce’s role was to train Cameroonians in the principles of Bible translation and to give them the theological and linguistic tools that they need to take the lead in their translation project. With so many ethnic groups and so few Bibles (20 in all), Cameroon is one of the world’s priority areas for Bible translation. In 2012 the Rossington family was seconded by AIM to SIL-Cameroon, a partner organisation of Wycliffe Bible Translators, which works with Cameroonian churches who have a vision for translating God’s word into the mother tongue or ‘heart language’ of Cameroon’s 279 people groups. This prepared them for long-term ministry in Africa by teaching them key principles of cross-cultural ministry through learning about Rwanda’s language and culture and the challenges facing Rwandan pastors. Bruce then began an assignment at the Rwanda Institute of Evangelical Theology in 2008. Until the Rossingtons relocated to the UK in July 2021 Jan taught French and oversaw the IGCSE programme at Rift Valley Academy, which supports missionaries by educating and mentoring their children.īruce and Jan began serving with AIM on a TIMO team based in Kigali, Rwanda in 2006. Bruce is a Bible Translation Consultant, a Scripture Engagement Consultant and the Chair of AIM’s International Council.
