Goodbye & Thanks from Warrambui Centre Director
In June 2014, I was asked if I would come and help at Warrambui for 3 months. Almost 11 years later, it is now time for me to move on.
I am incredibly grateful for the opportunities I have had through my time as Centre Director to serve others, to work with amazing people, and to see God change people’s lives in incredible ways.
I am especially thankful to the Warrambui Board for their support, encouragement and guidance. I would like to particularly thank Chair Neal Mason, Vice-Chair Garry Watson and Member Ward Westphal who have been part of almost the entire journey with me and taught me so much.
I am blessed to have been able to interact with, and get to know, so many people within the NSW & ACT District and the wider LCA throughout this time; people whom I now call friends.
So often during my time as Centre Director, I have been humbled and inspired by the number of people who pray for the Team at Warrambui and our ministry. This has been an incredible blessing to us all, and especially to me and my family – Thank you.
I am very grateful for the continual support I have received from District Leadership and the District Office, and to the District as a whole for the privilege of serving in this role.
I celebrate the achievements God has enabled us to make together, and I ask your forgiveness for the times I have fallen short.
This has been a joint ministry with my family, as we have lived and served here in community. I would particularly like to thank my wife Anna for her unwavering support, her care for our community and its members, and for the times she took on administrative roles at short notice during unexpected staffing vacancies.
Above all, I thank our Heavenly Father for carrying me, nurturing me, guiding me, giving me amazing grace, and allowing me to be part of His ministry through His place, Warrambui.
Whilst we are unsure what the next steps are for our family, we look forward in faith to where God will call us next, just as He called us so clearly to Warrambui 11 years ago.
Yours in Christ, Dean Salzke Centre Director
