CHRISTIAN EDUCATION NETWORK TRUST

Original Trustees

Victor Keith Relf

Keith and Margaret's Relf’s original "call" is to help bring about the restoration of the Biblical, Apostolic and Hebraic truth concerning Israel and the Kingdom of God. It finds expression in their determination to provide true Biblical Christ-centred Education, rejecting all forms of "Replacement Theology" and liberalism that compromise the eternal truth and irrevocable covenants given to the descendants of Abraham.

A Printer and Freelance Inventor and Designer for over 50 years with many patents and commercially successful products.

Together with his wife Margaret, Keith established a Camping Ground run by a faith community of people for approximately 12 years and a Christian Conference Centre dedicated to bringing Christians back to their Hebraic roots. The Camp and Centre was eventually sold to facilitate the purchase of land for the establishment of Bethlehem College in Tauranga, New Zealand, under the Christian Education Trust. Keith and Margaret remain founding Trustees of the Christian Education Trust.

Keith and Margaret have strong ties to the Land of Israel, having lived and worked in Israel in the early '80's and have visited the Land numerous times, taking tour groups on several occasions. Keith served for some years as NZ National Director for the International Christian Embassy. They have an elder son, John, with wife, Patricia, who have lived in Israel for over 30 years and raised five children there. Five members of the family have or are serving in the Israeli forces. A younger son David lives in New Zealand and has three children and works in the building industry.

Keith was a founder and trustee of the Inspirational Tape Library that developed over the years into an International ministry to many thousands of users.

Graham Preston ,Dip Tchg

Graham is the founding visionary and first Principal of Bethlehem College, a Christian school established in Tauranga, New Zealand in 1988.  The school has grown into a large campus, which is now providing Christian education for over 2000 students from preschool to tertiary studies.

Graham summarizes his life purpose in his family mission statement  "as for me and our family we seek firstly the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and to serve the Lord wholeheartedly in our generation".

Graham was born again into a lively hope at the age of 20 and has sought to serve the Lord since then.  Graham has served in various leadership roles such as eldership, teaching, pastoral/shepherding roles and encouraging the saints.

Graham sees the opportunity for education on line as having been a goal for Bethlehem College for many years.  “Working with CEDUNET, it is our hope to have a "virtual" school for families across our small planet and to spread the Good News of a Biblical Christ-centred education that is so needed in today's society where education is predominantly in the hands of a few secular humanists. I believe the only hope for society is having Education delivered from a Biblical and Christ-centred point of view".

Graham and wife Vicky have a son Jonathan and daughter Catheryn both living in Tauranga , New Zealand . Catheryn is a lecturer at Bethlehem Institute a tertiary establishment part of the Bethlehem Campus.
