The Principal, Mark Thompson, announced today that Simon Gillham, the Vice Principal, and his wife Margie, have been accepted to serve again as missionaries with the Church Missionary Society from 2026.
Simon joined the Faculty in 2016 and was appointed Vice Principal in 2020. Before they returned to Moore, they had been serving in the Namibia Evangelical Theological Seminary. Prior to that, they had been involved in church planting in the Newcastle area.
“I have genuinely mixed emotions in making this announcement”, Dr Thompson said.
“Simon has been a truly extraordinary member of the Faculty and an excellent Vice Principal. I give great thanks to God for the friendship and Christian partnership we have enjoyed, especially over the past five years. Yet I know that his heart is in Africa and he has been somewhat restless with anticipation of the day he could return there. We will certainly miss Simon and Margie but we rejoice in confidence that they will make an excellent contribution to the worldwide spread of the gospel through their work in Africa.”
The College will farewell Simon and Margie at the end of the year.
