About Kenn Iskov, Principal, Living Light Bible College, Papua New Guinea.
Kenn was born in 1947, grew up on a dairy farm in North East Victoria and came to faith in Christ at 17 through the influence of Methodist Youth Camps. He trained and worked as a professional Electrical Engineer for several years.
He studied for a Diploma of Theology at Melbourne Bible Institute, graduating in 1973. After service as a communications consultant with Christian Media Australia he moved to Canberra and completed a Bachelor of Theology at the Alliance Theological College in 1975. While in Canberra his wife Leonie gave birth to twin sons, and in 1976 the family moved to Western Australia to pastor a newly- planted Christian & Missionary Alliance church.
In 1980 after the birth of a daughter, Kenn and his family moved to Nyack, New York on a scholarship and completed a Master of Divinity degree at Alliance Theological Seminary in 1983. He went on from there to Ph.D studies at Princeton Theological Seminary but did not complete the program and graduated with a Master of Theology in the field of practical theology in 1986.
The family returned to Australia in 1986 and Kenn served as pastor of Ku-ring-gai Alliance Church in West Lindfield for six years. In that time he served as Vice President of the C&MA and as chairman of the Board of Directors of the Alliance College of Theology. He also taught as adjunct faculty at the College. In 1990 Kenn launched a lay training program called Second Track using programmed learning materials and within four years had one hundred students around the country studying by extension.
