Good Friday Anniversary Services 2010

This year our church will be celebrating its 460th aniversary, marking another milestone in its life and history. We are pleased to have John Glass, pastor of the International Evangelical Church in Geneva, as our guest speaker.
Services will be held at 3:30 and 6:00 pm with tea served during the interval.

Many will remember the last time that John joined us a couple of years ago. He shared with us his testimony and wonderfully unwrapped the truth of the empty grave. He spoke of the glorious grace by which we are adopted as children of God through the sacrifice, death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. I am sure that we can all look forward to some more equally interesting and enlightening messages when John rejoins us this year.

For those who don’t recall much about John or were not with us when he was last here, we have included a brief background and description of John’s current ministry in Geneva.He was born in 1956 in Paris of American parents and spent the first 15 years of his life in Geneva.At the age of 19, he left for a trip of six months in Asia, armed only with his backpack.
And it was while traveling through India that John came to Christ through the ministry of a Dutch missionary that he met in New Delhi.

After studying Spanish and literature at university, John worked out of New York as a Pan Am steward, where he met his wife Meg, who was a stewardess. Meg had become a Christian whilst in Japan at the age of 16. They married in 1983.
John gained his master's degree in theology from Talbot Theological Seminary (Los Angeles, CA) and in 1986, John and Meg began work in France with the mission organization TEAM, where John served as pastor of the Evangelical Protestant Church of Rueil-Malmaison for 10 years. In 1997, John and Meg settled in the Geneva area, where he became the pastor of l’Eglise Action Biblique de la Servette in Geneva.

Since 2007, John has been pastor of the International Evangelical Church in Geneva. John has a doctorate in theology from Master's Seminary (Los Angeles), is the author of two books (“11-09-01 Why ?” and “A Christian reflection on war”). Every Sunday he presents a radio program “More Precious than Gold” on Radio 74 and he serves as the chaplain of the hockey team Geneva Servette Hockey Club (GSHC). John and Meg have three children, John, Kimberly and James.
