Bruce and Bonnie
Robinson
Bruce and Bonnie Robinson
have
ministered in England since 1971 . . . primarily in church planting. Their
similar English backgrounds, plus meeting in England in 1965 while on a student
missions' trip, led inevitably to their serving the Lord there. The Robinsons founded
Wolverton Evangelical Church. Today it is a strong, growing and vibrant
Christian fellowship. Buckingham Evangelical Church, which they founded
in 1990, is now influencing the community and is known as "the Bible
church". Its programs include ministering to students at the University
of Buckingham, which is comprised of 75% foreign nationals. It is
commonplace to have 5 to 10 different nationalities attending their Bible
studies and worship services. Many born-again students have returned to
their home countries and now work in key governmental positions or in
management of multinational corporations. The church has also made
inroads into local life, including working with a community
street-children's project.
In 1996 Bruce Robinson
founded International Gospel Outreach and continues to serve as its Field
Administrator. The Robinson's interest in other worldwide missions and
cultures is further stimulated and fulfilled while serving in their role
of advisor to fellow IGO missionaries. ACTSent is the name of
the Robinson's new ministry. It is not another mission board. ACTSent
is simply a personal label attempting to portray Bruce's and Bonnie's firm
belief in the biblical, simple, cultural approach to mission. The name,
ACTSent, intends to reflect and highlight the local church as the
platform and objective of mission. ACTSent's vision was
conceived to assist, consult,
train and serve indigenous
people of a new generation from their years of mission experience.

February 2010 Newsletter
So, how are
some of you facing the cold and snow? It seems like ‘global warming’
missed - and even helped - many of us. Skiing conditions have returned
to Aviemore, Scotland. Sunny holiday sites are booming. We are, however,
home for the time being, read on ... And what do the Robinson’s do at
this time of year. . . after a lengthy time away, Christmas, illness,
when the streets are icy and when an English winter chills the bones?
Help celebration
Last year we
promised our son, Rip, and his family that we would help them celebrate
their 15th wedding anniversary and Rip’s 40th birthday. That’s why we
drove to Holland soon in January. Now we can report that our time taking
care of three grandchildren for a week was really special for us (& we
hope for them) and the special celebration trip for Rip and Amber was
really good.
