Gavin
and Glenda both trained at The Baptist Theological College of Queensland.
Following their marriage in 1973, they pastored the Brassall Baptist Church in
Ipswich in Queensland. Gavin was ordained by the Baptist Churches of Queensland
in 1977. In
1977 they went to Zambia as missionaries with the Australian Baptist Missionary
Society serving among the Lamba people of the Copperbelt Province. Their
principle ministry was teaching in the Fiwale Hill Bible School which trained
pastors for the Northern Baptist Association of Zambia. Returning to ministry in Australia in 1981, they served in the following ministries:
In
May 2004, Gavin was awarded a Doctorate of Practical Ministry (DPMin) by
the Wagner Leadership Institute of Colorado Springs, USA. The Chancellor of that
institute is the renown Christian statesman, Rev Dr C Peter Wagner. Gavin
majored in the field of missions. Today Gavin and Glenda move freely across the different dimensions of the church around the world. Their ministry is well received in both conservative and more charismatic churches. Their message of personal submission to the Lordship of Jesus Christ, intimacy with God and the journey toward spiritual maturity is relevant to all parts of the Christian community. Glenda
and Gavin have three grown children: Kelvin, married to Vivienne; Elizabeth
married to Mike and Andrew who is married to Belinda. All are active in
the Lord's work. They have two grand daughters: Jessica and Isabella who
are the children of Kelvin and Vivienne. Married
for 35 years Gavin and Glenda are best friends. When they are at home in
Australia, Glenda enjoys her garden, dressmaking and cooking. Gavin loves to
make things out of timber. Their current project is to complete extensions and
alterations to their home and ministry base at Budgewoi on the New South Wales
Central Coast. Both
are very practical people with a deep love for the Lord and an insatiable hunger
to go ever deeper in Him. Their commissioning church is the Regents Park
Community Church led by Rev David Deal. Their home church is Grace Community
Baptist Church led by Rev Tony Rae. |
