ICEJ Directors

Malcolm Hedding

 In November 2000, the Reverend Malcolm Hedding was appointed the Executive Director of the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem after serving as an ordained minister of the Assemblies of God of South Africa for 25 years.

Malcolm has a long relationship and love for Jerusalem and Israel. From 1986 to 1989, he served in Jerusalem as ICEJ Chaplain, and on the pastoral staff of the Jerusalem Christian Assembly, now the King of Kings Assembly.

Upon his return to South Africa in 1989, Malcolm founded the Olive Tree Assembly of God in Durban. He has been a seminar teacher and plenary speaker at the ICEJ's annual Christian Celebration of the Feast of Tabernacles in Jerusalem and at other Embassy-sponsored events. He has also been an active member of the ICEJ Association, and traveled extensively as a "spokesman" of the ministry at the invitation of the international branches.
In February 2001, Malcolm was invited to chair the 4th Christian Congress on Biblical Zionism in Jerusalem, having been heralded as one of the foremost Zionist theologians in Christianity, with a profound understanding of Israel's role in Eschatology. Since 1991 he has also served as Chairman of "Christian Action for Israel", a biblical Zionist organization.

Malcolm lives with his wife Cheryl in Jerusalem. They have three children, and three grandchildren.

 After graduating from Ulm University with a degree in physics, Dr. Jürgen Bühler moved to Israel with his wife in 1994. Following a five-year research project at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot he obtained his doctorate in chemistry.

Jürgen joined the staff of the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem in 1999 and presently serves on its Board as the ministry's International Director. Since 2001 he has also been National Director for ICEJ Germany, a position that he still holds.

A board member of the Brussels-based Christian lobby group - the European Coalition for Israel - Jürgen is also a founding member of the “Christliches Forum für Israel” (Christian Forum for Israel), a German umbrella group of Christian Zionist organizations.

In addition to his other responsibilities, Jürgen has remained an active member of the King of Kings Assembly in Jerusalem, and has served on the congregation's board since 1994. His grasp of biblical theology and his unique insight into issues relating to Israel, Europe and the institutions of the European Union have placed him in great demand as a speaker all over the world.

He and his wife Vesna live in Jerusalem and have three young sons and a daughter.
