John Paterson
About John
Following pastoral ministry in Sydney and Adelaide, I have been one of the pastors in Trinity Church, Tamworth, in rural NSW, since it began in 1980. Five elders lead and care for the Church - three of us trained at Moore College and minister fulltime in the Church. Part of our ministry includes oversight of two local Christian schools, involvement in church-planting work in PNG, and ongoing annual ministry to churches and pastors in the Central Philippines which commenced in 1991. I am married to Sue, and we have three adult married children aged 29, 24 and 22.
Peter Woodcock
About Peter
I was on the ministry team at St John`s in Hobart in the 1990's. I had a very fruitful ministry in Hobart, especially at the University where I was the AFES Staff worker. I am now involved with the "Co-mission Initiative" which is a church-planting network in London. I travel throughout the UK and further a field as a preacher and an evangelist. I am married to Anne and we have a daughter Jerusha and a son Carl.
Graham Sayer, Youth Speaker
About Graham
I moved from England to Tassie in 2006 with my family to work with the Christian Reformed Church of Kingston. I pastor one of the church plants from Kingston - One Way Christian Church in Margate - and I also have oversight of the children's and youth ministries at Kingston. I have 15 years of experience working with young people in all sorts of settings. My passion for them is to experience what I have - the transforming power of the gospel - to know it in themselves and to want see it in others as God does his amazing work. I am married to Ali and we have three children Alys, Rosie and, Nathan.
