Description
Our 4th Christchurch Business Forum networking breakfast will be held in less than a month. The purpose underlying these events is to (i) present challenging content and in particular how faith affects our businesses (ii) encourage each other, and (iii) make new connections over great food.
Our speaker this month is Alistair Mackenzie who is a Teaching Fellow at Laidlaw College. Alistair began his working life in his family’s timber mill and then as a truck driver while completing a science degree. After becoming a Christian and completing theological training, he spent 23 years in pastoral leadership of three Baptist churches in New Zealand (Papatoetoe, Lincoln and Ilam) and was also involved in the leadership of Servants to Asia's Urban Poor.
He has served as a staff worker with the Tertiary Students Christian Fellowship, completed a postgraduate study on the theology of vocation and work. Alistair has authored 3 books, Where’s God on Monday?, SoulPurpose: making a difference in life and work and Just Decisions: Christians ethics go to work.
He is the founding director of Faith at Work, has been employed as a mission consultant with the Baptist Churches of New Zealand and participated in the Lausanne Committee’s Marketplace Ministry Issue Group, as well as the Boston-based Theology of Work Project.
Alistair is married to Alison and involved with leadership at Spreydon Baptist Church. They have two adult children, Catherine and Christopher, and a lovely granddaughter Ruby. Alistair enjoys playing guitar and blues harp with a band, armchair rugby and the odd round of golf (with an emphasis on the odd!).
All the best
