This is an excerpt from John Chapman’s excellent book on actually doing evangelism, Know and Tell the Gospel.
I remember going to a weekend conference some eighteen months after I was converted, and a girl there asked me if I was a Christian. I answered, “Yes”.
“Tell me” she said, “what I have to do to become a Christian”.
I didn’t have the faintest idea where to begin.
We are delighted to announce that Mrs Gabrielle Fury has accepted the role as the MTC Head Librarian. In early 2023 Gabrielle will take over the leadership of the Donald Robinson Library team, allowing Erin Mollenhauer to move into her new role as Senior Archivist and Special Collections Librarian.
Gabrielle is married to Glen and, together with two of their children, they attend Maroubra Presbyterian Church.
After studying Law, Gabrielle went on to complete her Master of Information Studies with a major in Librarianship.
She has worked in Librarian and Library Management roles at Morling College since April 2013, and her most recent role is the National Director of Library Services. At Morling College, Gabrielle has been responsible for the management of libraries at two campuses including the theological, counseling, and education collections.

Gabrielle’s first day will be Monday 16 January 2023.
Please also pray for her as she prepares to undertake this new role.
