New Proclamation Trust (PT) director Robin Sydserff has been sharing his hopes for the future.

In an open letter, he says: ‘My first stint at PT from 2004–2008, working with Dick Lucas, David Jackman and Christopher Ash, was life-changing. Their confidence in the ministry of the word as God’s means of transformation, and their commitment to serve the church, multiplying expository word ministry through training, equipping and encouraging preachers and Bible teachers, was used of the Lord to build a genuinely centrist renewal movement that united evangelicals. We live in the present, not the past, but can rightly take inspiration from those who have gone before us.

The Trustees of the Proclamation Trust (PT) are delighted to announce the appointment of Robin Sydserff as the new Director. Robin is currently senior pastor of Chalmers Church, Edinburgh and is also chair of the Bonar Trust which seeks to develop, fund and train gospel workers.

Robin has been appointed after a rigorous recruitment process that was run for us by the recruitment specialists, Carnelian, alongside the PT Trustees. This process involved 150 candidates being considered from across a wide range of denominational and independent church backgrounds. Robin and his wife Sally are excited about the potential of this new role and are hoping to move to London to start at PT in the autumn. Robin is committed to engaging with our many friends and partners as we seek to serve local churches by training men and women in Word ministry.

In an email, Cornhill director Nigel Styles wrote: ‘His gentleness combined with his vision and courageous leadership lies behind so much of what we do. It’s now 31 years since he first set up Cornhill: wow! So many people around the world have been influenced by him and are grateful for his teaching and example. Thank you, our dear brother!’

From Sierra Leone to Swindon, Hong Kong to Huddersfield, Sydney to Sydenham, and Belfast to Bulgaria, this year’s Evangelical Ministry Assembly (EMA) attracted a global audience online.

Across the three mornings there were conference sermons from Luke 19 preached by Rico Tice (All Souls Langham Place), Phil Allcock (Christ Church Mayfair) and Willie Philip (The Tron Church, Glasgow). The remainder of each day was presented by one of the Cornhill staff. Firstly, he led an exegesis session talking through his preparatory work on the passage, followed by preaching an expository sermon on the same passage in the second session. Andrew Sach was looking at Ezekiel 1 on day one, Stephen Boon was looking at Ephesians 3:1-13 on day two, and Nigel Styles was looking at Exodus 15:1-21 on day three.
