Craig Dyer<br />
10 and 11 June<br />
‘Equipping Hundreds to Train<br />
Thousands to Rescue Millions …’<br />
Information will shortly be available concerning Craig’s<br />
visit to <strong>Lansdowne</strong> which will include a Saturday morning seminar which he<br />
says will be an encouragement for the whole church family in personal<br />
evangelism.<br />
In March 2008 Craig completed 13 years as Pastor of Harper Church, an FIEC<br />
church on the south side of Glasgow. He had been called there from Bellshill<br />
Baptist Church, his first pastorate which he took up after graduating from Irish<br />
Baptist College in Belfast in 1989.<br />
During his time at Harper, Craig served as a trustee with India Rural Evangelical<br />
Fellowship (IREF), Care for Scotland's Scottish Advisory Committee, and a<br />
chaplain at the University of Glasgow. When at Harper his involvement in<br />
Christianity Explored Ministries (CEM) deepened, becoming an Advocate in<br />
2006 leading to his present role as Training Director.<br />
His task in essence is to provide evangelism training for gospel hearted<br />
churches in more than 100 countries around the world by developing a network<br />
of trainers. CEM is committed to getting the gospel to the nations via the local<br />
church. Craig summarises his life's work as "Equipping hundreds to train<br />
thousands to rescue millions".<br />
He and his wife Margaret have three daughters. As a family they are still<br />
engaged in the work at Harper Church where Craig serves as Associate Pastor.<br />
Craig brought outstanding Bible ministry from Mark’s gospel at the Child<br />
Evangelism Fellowship European Leadership Forum in Hungary in 2015, taking<br />
the theme of “Jesus – The Master Evangelist”, illustrating the methods and<br />
message of evangelism by showing how Jesus interacted with children and<br />
adults.<br />
Craig will be one of the speakers at the 2018 Bournemouth and Poole<br />
Convention.
