On our Langham Live call in March, we were privileged to be joined by Andy Oatridge, a fairly new member of the Langham global family! Last June, he took over from Mark Meynell as Preaching Director for Europe and the Caribbean.

As you’ll hear in the episode, Andy now lives in Hungary with his Hungarian wife and three children, having set up Christian youth camps there. He now leads a bible training centre and co-pastors a church plant.

Andy has a great affection for Langham’s mission and vision and has big dreams for what God could do through Langham Preaching in Europe and the Caribbean.

Our Supporter Development Officer for Ireland Mark Armstrong conducted the interview this time. He started by asking Andy where he was joining the call from.

Alejandra Ortiz joined us on Langham Live lit February from Tijuana, Mexico, where she’s involved in student ministry through IFES (International Fellowship of Evangelical Students). Alejandra is also a Langham Scholar! She is studying for a PhD through the Oxford Centre for Mission Studies (but living in Mexico).

It was a fascinating conversation, learning about why Alejandra felt called to further study, and how she thinks it could greatly impact the wider Church in her region.

At the time of recording, Mexico had been in the UK news after a major military operation against an important drug cartel. Alejandra shared how her and her family were affected.

Simon Foulds, our Supporter Development Manager, was the interviewer this time.

On our first Langham Live call of 2026, we were joined by Jacob Haasnoot, the Director of Langham's new branch in the Netherlands!

Jacob brings with him a wealth of experience, including a number of years teaching theological students in Ethiopia and South Sudan. It was here that he first saw Langham's impact for himself. His college received contextually relevant books for its library through our library grants scheme. This hugely benefited his students. Setting up the new Langham entity in the Netherlands has come with its challenges, which you’ll also hear about.

So enjoy this encouraging conversation between Jacob, who’s also called Jaap, and our National Director John Libby.
