After studying under Jim Packer and Alec Motyer in Bristol, where he met his wife, Joy, he served in Sevenoaks, Egham, Leyton, Westgate and Eastbourne. For the last seven years he engaged in an itinerant ministry.<\/p>\n<p>Preaching was his passion. Committed to Christ and his Word, John\u00a0emphasized and exemplified the priority of biblical faithfulness and\u00a0experimental faith, a rare combination amongst English Anglicans. He prized the ministry of the Shepherd\u2019s Conference in the USA and the\u00a0Leicester Minister\u2019s Conference in the UK.<\/p>\n<p>He was diagnosed with an uncommon systemic disease in early 2017 and told that his life expectancy was just months. To the end he encouraged\u00a0his family (Joy and their children, Peter, David and Cherry) and friends to rest on Christ. He also thanked those with whom he had\u00a0enjoyed the privilege (his words) of sharing in ministry.<\/p>\n<p>His confidence in Christ, his promises, and his grace was evident\u00a0to the end. He entered glory the day before Easter, looking forward\u00a0expectantly to resurrection on the last day, and rejoicing that he would\u00a0depart to be with Christ.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is with great regret that we must announce the passing of John Cheeseman (1950-2017) who was called home to his Saviour earlier this year.
