Management Buckets Workshop Team
Bishop, Bradford and Williams 
Join Our Growing Workshop Faculty!

John Pearson Associates, Inc. is pleased to announce that we've added three people to our workshop faculty team, in addition to John Pearson.  These experienced leaders--with incredible and diverse backgrounds--will enable us to add more workshops both in North America and in Australia in the coming months.

 
 
GARY BISHOP.  Gary's presentations are sprinkled with lively and relevant real life stories from his exceptional career experience as president of World Bible Translation Center, president/CEO of Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF), executive director/CEO of Pittsburgh International Airport, division manager product development of AT&T, and as a police officer in Dallas and a commissioned officer in the United States Air Force. Read more about Gary.

JOHN BRADFORD.  John retired from the Commonwealth Parliament of Australia in 1998 after serving as an MP for nine years.  With his wife Judy and their three children, they then embarked on five years of overseas missionary service. This included Mongolia, the U.S. and the United Kingdom where John had the responsibility of leadership in a major Christian medical charity which focused on Central America and West Africa.

Returning to Australia's Gold Coast in 2004, John was appointed Mission Development Director for the Bible Society Australia (Queensland) where he had responsibility for major donor development. Until February 2008 he also broadcast regularly on a community radio station as a political commentator.

John is highly regarded as a public speaker, communicator and motivator. He has been successful in conducting negotiations in complex and sensitive situations and brings real life insight and experience to his workshop presentations.  Visit his website.

GARY WILLIAMS.  Gary is the innovative national director of Christian Management Australia, which provides resources and training for hundreds of church, ministry and business members across Australia. A trained teacher and competent presenter, Gary has lots of stories to tell (names withheld!) from CMA members and friends, which illustrate the tragedy of ministries who trivialize or secularize management.

Gary has spent most of his 43 years in the management end of church and parachurch ministry, and has a passion for seeing God glorified when the spiritual gifts of administration are applied authentically, humbly and competently to ministry endeavors. Gary is married to Debbie (a former Douloid – that’s Operation-Mobilisation-speak for Doulos Missionary) and they have two young children, Abby and Landon.  Read more about Gary and CMA.
