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.

Recently I was reading Dr Joseph Parker , one of the recognised great English preachers of the second half of the 1800s in London. A fascinating comment Joseph Parker made when relating to ministers was as follows: An un-tempted minister will never do us any good, and an untried one will talk over our heads.
I have often reflected on this as I for one would have been greatly blessed and enhanced in ministry to have sat under Joseph Parker s preaching and teaching.
Morling Seminary in the seventies, when I was there, had similar wisdom in its entry requirements. Candidates for Ordination needed to have worked in the real world for a minimum of five years before gaining acceptance into that theological college.
