Did you know that there is an article about John Chapman (evangelist) on Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Chapman_(evangelist)

Or at least there is today. It is pretty short:

John Chapman is a well-known preacher, Bible teacher and evangelist associated with the Sydney Anglican church. He has authored several best-selling books including “A Fresh Start”, “Know and Tell the Gospel” and “Setting Hearts on Fire”, published by Matthias Media.

For 25 years he was the Director of the Anglican Department of Evangelism in Sydney, after beginning his career as a school teacher prior to theological training. Now in his ‘retirement’ he continues to teach at Bible colleges, to speak at conventions around the world, and to find time for the occasional game of tennis and golf.

However, there is a note that the article will disappear TOMORROW 2008-07-21 if the article is not updated. This is the notice on Wikipedia reads:

Do you have information to help update the article? I would be sad to see it disappear, Chappo has been a significant teacher in my life, having first heard him at ISCF during the 1960s. I’m sure he has helped many over the years.

Just bumping this item to try and ‘save’ Chappo from being deleted.

Anyone able to help out urgently ? If so, please contact Wikopedia direct.

Maybe send it on to Matthias Media since they are his publisher?
