This is my 44th year in Christian ministry and it s remarkable to look back and rejoice in what the Lord has done in one s life s ministry. In the midst of this have been some amazing people who have been mentors.
This is a tribute to one of these, the late Reverend Roger Reid. Roger loved Delma and me in our early years in Christian ministry and it was his wisdom that saw the development and growth of the sports ministry I was blessed tgo initiate and found.
Reverend Roger Reid was the foundation Chairman of the Sports and Leisure Ministry. Five years ago Roger documented for the first time, why in 1982, the InterChurch Trade and Industry Mission (ITIM) and Heads of Churches supported me, a young Baptist minister, vision for ministry into professional sport.
