Dr. John Symons will be the Speaker at Cherry Gardens Uniting Church on Sunday 2 March 2025 at 9.30 am.
For most of the period between early 1998 and the end of 2012 he was living overseas, primarily in Africa working as a missionary firstly with Wycliffe Bible Translators and later with ACC International. His time in East Africa was curtailed in the lead up to his first wife’s death in mid-2013. After that, for about five years he was primarily teaching at various Bible colleges in Victoria and South Australia. In recent years Dr John has been primarily involved in the development of online learning material with Australian Christian Church (ACC) International and Axx Global (First, Axx comes from God. Second, Axx is a wordplay on the Book of Acts i.e. it is pronounced the same.). His recent work at ACC International has included the development of an online based course to train prospective missionaries, while at Axx Global he is Director of French training.
John Symons has been the holder of ACC pastors’ credentials since 2002 (Ordained Minister’s Certificate since 2012).
Dianne Dyson will lead the service and Kerry Schneider will provide the music. This Sunday will include Holy Communion for all who wish to partake of it. Do come along for John’s message and stay on for a cuppa and a chat over morning tea afterwards.
