On a common journey! Methodist Ordination service.

In this picture are two of my best friends in the ministry - Rev Kevin
Needham (left) and Angus Kelly (middle). Today is Angus' Ordination
to the ministry of the Methodist Church of Southern Africa. It is a
recognition by the denomination that he has the gifts for ministry and
has responded to the call to serve in the ministry of the church. The
training process is quite rigorous, taking between 5-7 years.

Angus is a good minister! He serves two Churches. One in Paarl and
one in Franschhoek (both in the Western Cape). He is a superb
preacher, an excellent worship leader and a caring pastor. I have had
te joy of serving with Angus when he was our worship Pastor at
Coronation Ave Methodist Church when I was a Pastor there (some 10
years ago if I remember correctly).

I rejoice with Gus and the 30 other friends, many of whom were my
students (as Gus was!), at John Wesley College.

I thank God for gifted people who could do almost anything in the
world, yet choose a life of sacrifice and service for the sake of
seeing God's Kingdom come to earth!

It was so wonderful to be with many friends here in Pietermaritzburg!
I feel renewed, encouraged and uplifted!
