Graham Preston ,Dip Tchg
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.
