Albert Delali serves as pastor of Crowngate Church in the Greater London area of the United Kingdom. As an international missionary, he also coordinates the African European Church Network (AECN), a ministry initiative of FMWM‑Europe. The network supports families from across Africa who are navigating life, culture and faith in a European context that is often secular, individualistic and very different from their home traditions. Albert works alongside gifted African leaders in some of Europe’s most secular settings to help churches respond faithfully to these realities. Churches and leaders within the African diaspora value their partnership with the Free Methodist Church for its shared theological convictions and missional values. Albert is married to Sandra, and they have three daughters.

- God’s divine protection over his family
- God to connect him with new resourceful networks in Europe
- safety and God’s grace in all his ministry travels
- the planting of new FM churches in Europe among the Africans and Europeans
