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.
