Honoring long term staff

Last month we gathered in Labasa on the island of Vanua Levu for our annual YWAM gathering.  It was a great time of prayer, teaching and worship with almost all of our YWAM family in Fiji.  During the conference we took time to honor 3 of our longest serving staff who are retiring from full time ministry.

Wakanesi Pederson (above) has been serving with YWAM for 30 plus years.  Wakanesi was very involved with pioneering several ministries in Papua New Guinea and now lives in Suva, Fiji.

Richard and Thelma Dingle (below) have been serving with YWAM in Fiji for the past 6 years and are retiring to New Zealand to spend more time with family.
