Minister leaves Ipswich International Church for new job in Ilford

David Howe, Minister at IIC, said: “Over the past 23 years (Harold) has been both a mentor and a friend.

“He has been there through pivotal moments in my life, including my journey to personal faith in Christ, my baptism, and has continually encouraged and supported my pursuit of ministry.”

Pastor Afflu was appointed an Honorary Canon of St. Edmundsbury Cathedral by the Church of England in 2021, in recognition of his ecumenical work in various Christian denominations.

He will leave his current role to take up the position of senior minister at City Gates Church in Ilford.

A farewell service will be held at Burlington Baptist Church, London Road, Ipswich on November 10 at 3pm GMT.
