David & Janet Wilkinson

David and Janet
David joined St John’s with his parents, Trevor & Fiona Wilkinson, in 2000. After university, he was sent out to Senegal by St John’s for an initial assignment with Wycliffe in 2010. He then married Janet and they have been serving together in Senegal since 2014.
David is settling in as Director of Wycliffe's partner organisation in Senegal, SIL, having been appointed to the role in May 2024. His work is varied, ranging from overseeing significant maintenance work and supervising colleagues, to meeting with local church leaders, encouraging partners and shaping the vision of the organisation as it seeks to serve language communities and provide people with access to the Scriptures in the languages they understand best. Janet is the Finance Co-ordinator so is responsible for accounting, budgeting and ensuring compliance with financial regulations.
Joel (11), Isaac (8) and Theo (5) are at local French schools, with Joel having just started secondary school.
Thank you for praying for us that we would manage to juggle our work and family responsibilities well as we play our part in making God's glory more known across Senegal.

Planning your Visit

Welcome from the Vicar

Let me welcome you to St John’s! I am so delighted you have found our web site. We are a Church family in Wimborne for anyone living, working or studying around this area. Whoever you are, whatever your age, whether you’re an experienced Christian or not, we would love you to join us.

From an intrigued onlooker to the committed follower we are keen that everyone should grow in relationship with God through knowing Jesus. To help us do that our emphasis is on hearing God speak to us by his Holy Spirit through his word, the Bible. Each of us knows that we only grow in a relationship with someone and get to know them when we spend time listening to them and responding and reacting to what they say. So the focus of St John’s is on listening to God’s word, talking to him in prayer and taking up all that he says.

The Church family here at St John’s longs to help anyone who wants to investigate the life of Jesus. On this site you will find people, meetings, talks and events shaped to help you take another step forward in finding out more about God and his love for us in Jesus, and to help you get linked into the church family life.

I do hope I will have the opportunity to meet you personally in the very near future and that you will quickly feel at home at St John’s.

Revd. Peter Breckwoldt
