Gavin and Megan have previously served in Anglican Parish ministry in Sydney for the 17 years. They are convinced by the need for Jesus to be known all over the world and are especially moved to share Jesus in countries where there is less Christian witness.
They are serving in the International Anglican Church of Amman (IACA) where Gavin is their full-time ordained minister, serving and supporting local Christian workers and the large expat community there.
CMS has had a presence in Jordan since the early 1800’s and has a long history of providing Ministers for this particular Church, which has been in existence since 1836.

Amman, Jordan Context
Population: 2.2 million
Faith Backgrounds:
Muslim 97.1% (official; predominantly Sunni)
Christian 2.1% (majority Greek Orthodox, but some Greek & Roman Catholics, Syrian Orthodox, Coptic Orthodox, Armenian Orthodox, and Protestant denominations)
Challenges
Although English is widely understood among upper and middle classes in Amman, the Rosser’s are learning Arabic (the local language) to help with day to day living and communication, and to help build connections with local friends and neighbours.
Opportunities
The key role of the International Anglican Church of Amman (IACA) is the ongoing support for Christians living in Amman - supporting Christians working with locals, in embassies and in humanitarian work. They each need support in their faith in these difficult roles where they can have a great impact for Jesus.
The IACA has a wide reach and has the opportunity to interact with many new people from all over the world each week - tourists, expats and locals
-
Gavin and Megan commenced their ministry in Amman in January 2024 and continue to serve in a region where surrounding countries continue to see significant conflict.
