Our Missionaries

Cleon Alleyne | Missionary, Pastor

Born in Georgetown, Guyana, and raised in Stanleytown on the West Bank of Demerara, my journey of faith and missions has taken me across cultures, nations, and generations. Although I grew up in a Christian home, my personal relationship with Jesus Christ began in 1988, shaping the direction and purpose of my life.

With more than 30 years of ministry experience, I have dedicated my life to serving God and sharing the Gospel across cultural and national boundaries. My journey began in Guyana, where I served in pastoral ministry and with Youth With A Mission (YWAM), before God led me to Albania in 1998.

For 21 years, Albania was my home and the primary focus of my ministry. During those years, I served in several cities, including Korçë, Tirana, Durrës, and Shkodër. My ministry involved church planting, discipleship, youth ministry, evangelism, and building relationships with people from diverse backgrounds.

In Tirana, I served as one of the youth pastors at the International Protestant Assembly (IPA), working under the leadership of Pastor Barry Ogden. As part of the wider ministry at IPA, I was also involved in The Hub, a coffee house that provided opportunities to connect with people, build relationships, and share the love of Christ beyond the church walls. These experiences were part of a broader commitment to reaching people, discipling young believers, and building bridges between the church and the wider community.

In 2019, my journey took me to Finland, where I continued serving in cross-cultural ministry. I served as a youth pastor at the Free Church in Oulu, leading the Helmi youth ministry and investing in the lives of young people. Throughout this season, I maintained a deep commitment to missions and the nations, drawing on my years of experience in Albania and the wider Balkan region.

Today, I am based at Youth With A Mission (YWAM) Seamill in Scotland, embracing a new chapter of ministry. My heart remains committed to the Great Commission, discipleship, evangelism, and building relationships across cultures. Wherever God leads, my desire is to see lives transformed by the Gospel and people equipped to discover and fulfill their God-given calling.

My journey has not been without challenges. Through seasons of adversity, change, and personal transformation, I have experienced God’s faithfulness in profound ways. These experiences have deepened my faith and strengthened my desire to encourage others who are navigating their own journeys of hardship, healing, and hope.

I am also an author, writing about faith, resilience, redemption, and the transforming power of God. My books draw on personal experiences and years of ministry, with the hope of encouraging readers to persevere, trust God, and discover that even the most difficult chapters of life can become part of a greater story.

A Heart for the Nations

I believe every Christian has a part to play in God’s mission to the world. The Great Commission is not the responsibility of a few missionaries; it is a calling entrusted to the whole Church. Some are called to go, others to send, pray, give, encourage, and serve. Each role matters, and together we can make a lasting difference.

My vision is to inspire people to look beyond themselves, embrace God’s purposes, and become part of what He is doing among the nations.

We are called to change the world, but none of us is called to do it alone. Together, through faith, prayer, generosity, and partnership, we can take the hope of the Gospel to the ends of the earth.
