SPEAKERS
RON AND SUSAN MALLON
Susan and I have had the privilege of being part of the original group of people who started Generations Church, Tatura, 38 years ago. We served as senior pastors for 29 years, retiring in February, 2020.
Our ministry focus was on building a strong generational local church bringing community transformation through the power of the gospel. Seeing everyone involved in church life, local leadership development, and equipping God’s people to live Word and Spirit balanced lives were key aspects of seeing this come to pass.
We’ve also had the privilege of planting two other successful country churches. Ron has been involved in regional leadership and serving on the ACC Victoria State Executive.
Our future is totally sold out to being part of seeing the Kingdom of God come to this earth, with a specific desire to equip God’s people for the work of the ministry.
We have 5 children, 20 grandchildren, and a 3 acre park under construction around our home.
This season of our life is committed to family, and going where God wants us to go to preach and teach the Word of God.
