The Australian Presbyterian World Mission [APWM] National Committee is delighted to announce that the Rev Chris Siriweera has been appointed unanimously as the next APWM National Director to succeed the Rev Kevin Murray. He will commence in mid-August with a period of transition.
Chris currently serves as the Ministry Development Officer for the Presbyterian Church of Victoria and with his wife Rose, belongs to the Donvale Presbyterian Church (Victoria). Rose served as a missionary with Bible and Mission in Lebanon.
Chris brings a wealth of experience to the role — the congregations he has pastored, his personal cross-cultural experience as a Sri Lankan migrant to Australia, the many ministry contacts he has in the Presbyterian Church of Australia and his knowledge of how the Church functions. He has also served as a Director of a Mission Organisation in Australia. Chris also serves as the Convener of the General Assembly of Australia’s Reception of Minister’s Committee.
Chris has a passion to see many come to Christ as their Saviour and is deeply thankful for the saving grace of Christ in his own life.
Rev Brett Graham
Convener, Australian Presbyterian World Mission (National) Committee
