Eilish Agnew
(OMF International : Philippines)

Eilish studied at Belfast Bible College before going to the Philippines in 1976 with Overseas Missionary Fellowship in administration. Eilish joined the Tandang Sora Church Planting Team in 1985 in Manila and was closely identified with the birth and growth of Cornerstone Christian Bible Fellowship (CCBF) in Manila. Eilish was particularly involved in discipleship training and the development of pastoral counseling of CCBF members.

In 1992, when CBCF became fully self-supporting and self-governing, the missionary team phased out and Eilish returned to Ireland, resigning from OMF later that year. She then worked for two years with Ballymena Baptist Church, followed by a years sabbatical study at St. John’s College, Nottingham.

In August 1995 she was invited to join the Pastoral Team at Charlotte Baptist Chapel in Edinburgh, with responsibilities for the pastoral care and counseling of women within that fellowship.

Eilish retired from Charlotte Chapel in 2006 and returned to Ballymena where she has been working with the church in a part-time capacity since September 2007.
