Aart and Geesje den Breejen are amonsgt CMS Ireland’s newest Mission Partners – they have been serving in Arua, Uganda since the summer of 2008.

As their surname might suggest they are originally from the Netherlands. They have 4 children: 7 year old Anne Fleur, 5 year old Ruben, 3 year old Jan Lucas and new arrival baby Lisa.
Aart and Geesje have both worked previously in Africa – Geesje as the coordinator of a Community Health project and Aart as the director of an Animal Health Project in Bor, both in Southern Sudan.

The family are based at the Vocational Training Centre in Arua – which is in Madi-West Nile Diocese, North-Western Uganda. Aart will be working alongside the staff and students to build their capacity in his role of Coordinator of the WNEVTC project.

Both Aart and Geesje want to serve the people of Northern Uganda by living in their midst and using their talents, abilities and experience to help build a better future.

Please pray for the Den Breejen family as they seek to fulfil God’s will for their lives.
