Pr Gary & Merilyn Webster Called to Sydney

Merilyn and I have accepted a call to Sydney to head up the evangelistic work for the Wahroonga Church and to conduct evangelistic meetings in the Greater Sydney Conference. My role as South Pacific Division Evangelist will continue.


We came from Sydney to Tasmania in 2016 after six years at Adventist Media. During our time here, “We have seen
God doing amazing things in Tassie as He has been working through dedicated and gifted people. God led the executive and appointments committees to bring the right people at the right time to the right places. I have personally witnessed first-hand His miraculous hand in bringing Dr Mark Falconer and Pr Cosmin Dan-Marica into our administrative team. God has blessed the conference with: committed departmental directors, office staff and radio ministry team; Spirit-filled pastors and evangelists; dedicated principals and teachers; and gifted camp managers at both campsites.


Through our members working with these dedicated people we have seen: annual tithe increases of 5-15%; the conference finances placed on a strong footing; student enrolments double at both schools; a new conference office, that is representative of God’s cause; an increase in the number of evangelistic campaigns and prophecy seminars being conducted; a regular radio program coming out of Tassie for Faith FM across Australia; strong youth, Pathfinder, health, ADRA and women’s ministries; emerging literature and family ministries programs; the commencement of camp meetings in various places for the sake of mission; the beginning of a church plant in the Hobart CBD; Spring Beach become Tasmania’s premier camp site for schools. All of which is bringing an increasing number of people coming to Christ and His church. As I look back on the last five years I can truly say, ‘look what God has done!’”


We are disappointed to be leaving Tasmania and our church family, and are thankful to God for the privilege to work with His people here. Just as the call five years ago to come and work in Tassie was a shock, so also was the call to leave and go back to Sydney. After discussion and prayer, we felt God was asking us to accept this call. Since we arrived here in 2016, the work has become more involved and complex, and I sensed that Tassie needs a President who can dedicate all of his time to Tasmania. We can see God is on the move down here. Let’s all keep focused on God’s purpose
for His church in Tassie: To Transform Tasmania with Jesus for eternity.”

Find your purpose in Christ, serve your church and community in different ways. Live life abundantly.
