Salvation Story
John Edmiston was an atheist until the age of 21 when he was converted on the 1st May 1978 during the process of attempting to mathematically disprove the existence of God and the possibility of miracles. Eighteen months later in 1980 John entered the Baptist Theological College of Queensland and completed the five year ordination course. At the same time he completed the post-graduate Bachelor of Divinity degree (equivalent to the M.Div. in the USA) from the Melbourne College of Divinity. John went on to pastor a Chinese church in 1984 and then in 1986 went to Papua New Guinea with APCM (now Pioneers). After this in 1989 John both ran a counseling service and taught at bible colleges in North Queensland. He was also Regional Chairman of both Scripture Union and AFES (InterVarsity equivalent in Australia) and in 1991 began in Internet ministry going full-time in 1994 with Eternity Online Magazine. In early 2001 John went to the Philippines as a missionary and set up Internet based training for Asian pastors and Filipino missionaries to Muslim unreached people groups. John & Minda Edmiston migrated to the USA in 2004 and John now runs Cybermissions, a small missions agency dedicated to using computers and the Internet to facilitate the Great Commission and to providing highly strategic training to God’s church globally.
