Simon Lennox has been appointed as the new Chief Executive Officer for The Word One to One, a charity that empowers Christians to read the Bible with unbelievers. He succeeds Le Fras Strydom, who will remain as Chief Operating Officer.
Having studied theology at Oxford University, Lennox has years of experience in both business and ministry. He joins The Word One to One after working for the Bible Study Fellowship International for over ten years. ‘There is nothing quite like witnessing the Spirit at work through the words of Jesus shared in conversation. That’s what The Word One to One is all about, and I’m excited to be part of it.’
His appointment signals a new chapter for charity, as they embrace a fresh vision, strategy, and direction to respond to a global opportunity.
Richard Borgonon, Founder and Chairman of The Word One to One said: ‘With this great addition we are massively blessed to have such a complementarily gifted leadership team and hugely excited to see what God has in store as The Word One to One continues to expand worldwide. It’s not our ministry - it’s our Saviour’s - and it’s His Word that is so very clearly changing lives wherever it’s introduced.’
Lennox is the son of church planter Gilbert Lennox, the nephew of mathematician Professor John Lennox, and brother to hymn-writer Kirstyn Getty.
