Elders

John Whaits'
high school years were spent in Mossel Bay and it was there that he began his banking career with Barclays Bank. He writes: “I retired 42 years later as a manager from the by now called First National Bank. After a stint at Mossel Bay and Albertinia I was transferred to Cape Town and it was here in 1956, by God’s wonderful grace that I came to know Him as Lord and Saviour.

I met and married my wife Margaret and together we were involved for many years (until I retired) in youth work of various forms. We were foundation members of GBC and from early days I was the treasurer of the church until 2001 when they set me aside to serve the Lord as an elder.

We have 3 children; Delmarie Blackbeard married to Richard and living in Pretoria, Trevor and Marié who live in Robertson and our youngest Wendy Wyatt married to Barry and living outside of East London. All our children are following the Lord for which we thank God. We have been blessed with 7 lovely grandchildren who bring us much happiness and it was with much joy that we witnessed the baptism of our eldest grandchild Bronwen in Pretoria during June 2006.”
