“It is difficult to put into words what motivates me to lead the CFT tours, for words cannot convey the love and care that is shared by everyone in what I refer to as an “aluminium tube of love”, whether that is a coach or a plane. Our people come from all churches and from all over the country, from different pathways of life and have grown through different circumstances. It is beautiful to see how people become linked through sharing the travel experience, but one that is enriched by the Christian sharing. If you have travelled with CFT, you understand. If you haven’t travelled with us, I invite you to join one of our special tours.”

John Cronshaw’s interest in touring began when he was a Secondary School Science Teacher and planned several coach excursions for his students which resulted in a full-time business offering tours to many schools in the area in 1974. John is the founding director of the group of companies that operates Christian Fellowship Tours. For more than forty years, he could be found behind the wheel of a coach on one of the many Fantastic Aussie Tours that he personally planned and lead. John is married to Nancie with whom he has share leadership of many tours.

After 50 years of taking groups all around Australia and across every continent, John has decided to finally retire from Tour Leading. As a Director of our company, John will continue to contribute his expertise and vast touring knowledge to Christian Fellowship Tours to aid future tour planning.
