I completed the leaving Certificate at Newcastle Boys' High School in 1957. Graduating as a Medical Technologist in 1962, in 1964 I began an additional two years study in biochemistry at The University of New England in Armidale.
In 1966, I joined the practice of doctors Max Brown and Ken Harris at Adamstown, in Newcastle, to operate their private pathology labratory. (This was the greatest move of my career as it was at this surgery that I met Narelle. We were married ten months later).
In 1967 I opened a second laboratory at the surgery of Dr Charles Finlay-Jones at Georgetown. I worked in pathology laboratories at several hospitals, including Wallsend, The Mater (Waratah), Kurri Kurri and Wagga Wagga, and also at the Newcastle Hospital Blood Bank during 1971.
My company, Medtech Services, was incorporated in 1975. In 1979, I set up a laboratory at the Andrew Nash Clinic in Wallsend. In 1984, land was purchased and a NATA accredited, category one pathology laboratory was constructed on the site.
By 1987, Medtech Services employed sixty five people, including a specialist pathologist.
By 1990, I had established an interest in veterinary pathology. This led to the development of a range of veterinary products, which were distributed on Medtech's behalf by a leading veterinary supply company, Australia Wide.
In 1994, Medtech’s operations were transferred to 173 Nelson Street. These premises were licenced, to function as a pathology collection centre.
In 2008, the company relocated to a larger building at 155 Nelson Street, where Narelle and I currently manage a much larger operation, which services doctors and their patients from a wide area in the Newcastle region.
Both Narelle and I have been actively involved in church life since we married in 1966. We have three children and eight grandchildren.
The "Leap of Faith" as I refer to my life changing experience in 1967, has encouraged and motivated me ever since to share what I have discovered with people with whom I have contact. Many of the individual stories that you can read in my books are about people I have met through work or church activities
My Books
My first book, “Ultimate Journey”, explains the most important thing I have ever learnt. I call it, “Thinking Eternally”. I couldn’t encourage you enough to read about this life changing concept yourself. It occupies the first two chapters of the book. If a serious illness has you discouraged, feeling that there is nothing left to try or no hope for the future….can I recommend that you read the chapters entitled, “Little by Little”, “Therapeutic Touch” and the one that describes my personal healing from ischemic heart disease, which I have entitled, “My Communion Story”. You can click on to my blog for accounts of some of our patients who have experienced healing and recovery from a range of conditions, after putting one or other of these strategies into action.
In my second book, “Let This Mind Be In You”, I share important information that might interest you, dealing with the power of our thoughts and words and their effects on our lives, including our peace of mind and wellbeing. If you attend a church, you could be interested in several chapters dealing with the power and working of The Holy Spirit. Both these books are available as paperbacks and also as e-books.
“The Power That Works In Us” is my third book. It is available only as an e-book. In it, I share in considerable depth, concepts related to getting our prayers answered and basic strategies we can put into action, which enable us to live the abundant life Jesus said was possible for us to experience.
As always I will be updating my blog. You are welcome to check it occasionally for items and reports that might interest you. If you would like to know some of my personal details, click here.
Neville's Books
“Ultimate Journey” describes what Neville Burns calls, his “Leap of Faith”, which resulted in him experiencing God’s forgiveness for his sins and developing the understanding that life on earth is a brief pilgrimage.
The book covers forty years of his life and describes a number of important lessons he has learnt and put into practice in his personal ministry.
These lessons include discovering how to obtain powerful answers to prayers, how to deal successfully with life’s difficult issues, which he calls “Tough Seasons” and how to experience healing from various diseases by discovering how to develop then release faith in Christ.
Not only does Neville talk about his personal healing from Ischaemic heart disease, but shares with us a number of other peoples’ personal experiences, including staff and patients that attend his pathology centre. Some of the experiences include diseased such as cancer and depression.
The book lets four decade’s of one man’s experience inspire you to reap maximum benefit from your own life’s journey, by putting these biblical sources of power into action yourself.
In this, his follow up to his first book, “Ultimate Journey”, Medical Scientist Neville Burns shares about a range of issues, lessons, the understanding and application of which can bring what wonderful life changing benefits for anyone who is willing to receive them.
As he did in “Ultimate Journey”, Neville illustrates his points with real life examples from his personal ministry and his own life experiences.
Furthermore “Let This Mind Be In You” gives readers an insight into “The gifts of the Holy Spirit” and how to express their faith in more meaningful and helpful ways.
His comments and the examples he shares about the way his personal ministry has developed since he discovered the power available from waiting on God in his “Secret Place”, as described by Jesus, could make a huge difference to people who feel they are under-achieving, as far as their own ministries are concerned.
In addition, Neville has included several chapters in his second book which deal with controversial issues such as evolution, euthanasia and climate change. Neville’s views on these topics and taking into account his Scientific background may challenge reader’s existing perspectives about one or more of these issues.
In this, his third book, Australian Christian author and medical scientist, Neville Burns describes a number of biblical strategies which demonstrate how the power of God, which is in us, can be released.
Each chapter unlocks and reveals, in Neville’s characteristic, easy to understand style, how we can utilise this power to overcome personal problems which prevent us from experiencing the freedom that is available to us as followers of Christ.
As he says in the introduction of the book, “we need to use the correct strategies in order to be a people who are not continually weighted down and defeated by the trials of life but rather to know what it is to have victory over them.”
For the first time, Neville addresses the “problem” of old age. You’ll find his relevant comments about this important issue both interesting and helpful.
He explains how to build the use of confession, praise and thanksgiving into our lives to enrich them and help other people in their difficult circumstances.
This book will teach you how to be an over-comer and show you how to develop a powerful ministry that can have eternal benefits for yourself and people you make contact with, in your world.
