My name is John Hamilton and I have been a member of Wycliffe Bible Translators since 1988 – first, with my wife Ruth, as teachers of missionary children at Vavoua International School in Ivory Coast for 8 years and latterly working with Wycliffe UK. I was Mobilisation Director for Wycliffe UK for almost 5 years from June 2005, but on Wednesday 10 March 2010, I handed over to Attila Kovacs. See here and here… My current job title is Wycliffe N. Ireland Coordinator heading up a small Church Engagement team relating to churches here.
The name of my blog is inspired by the fact that I’ve been trying to apply Jesus’ words in John 20v21 to my life and also to my work as part of the team recruiting people to join Wycliffe UK and Ireland: “As the Father has sent me, so I am sending you.”
I am passionate about our organisational vision: “By 2025, together with partners worldwide, we aim to see a Bible translation programme begun in every language that needs one.”
Great to see you have taken the plunge and started this off. Great start. We did the same 10 days ago so will learn along with you.
Hi John! I think that our paths crossed a long time ago in Massy. Found your site by “chance”. Regards to all the family.
You probably mean the other John Hamilton from N. Ireland with WEC. I never made it to Massy.
Sorry,
