Paul & Sarah Wright
Paul and Sarah Wright are Mission Partners who have been serving in Nepal since 1998. The Methodist Church has sent them to work in the United Mission to Nepal (UMN).
Paul works in Disaster Management through a small organisation called Nepal Christian Relief Services, a local partner of UMN. By working alongside local churches, they aim to offer relief to communities who have suffered disasters such as floods, landslides or fires. They are often able to reach out to small communities which bigger agencies are unable to help. They are funded by churches and organisations both locally and internationally. They are also planning to extend their work into risk reduction and rehabilitation. Paul has a special interest in climate change and wants to help raise awareness of the impact it has in countries like Nepal and increase understanding of what we can do in the West.
Sarah juggles being a full-time Mum with discipleship work. She teaches a Nepali women’s Bible Study, in a local Bible college and, with Paul, in a Nepali Sunday School.
Their children, Jack (71/2) and Asha (5) are now both in full time school.
Paul and Sarah belong to Otley Methodist Church and enjoy support and prayers from churches in the Otley and Aireborough Circuit.

Nigeria Health Care Project
This charity, sponsored by Wesley Guild, is based within the Leeds Methodist District.
The project exists:
- to provide primary health care facilities in areas of rural Nigeria which currently have poor or non-existent services
- to work with the World Church Office of the Methodist Church in Britain to form a creative partnership with Methodist Church Nigeria.
The project was launched in April 1992 in order to revive the work of the Wesley Guild in medical mission, which began at Ilesha Hospital in 1912. From just two (centres) projects in 1992, it is currently involved in funding 16 projects with three others on a waiting list for support when funds become available.
The project can provide a speaker anywhere in the district and no group is too small.
