Former South Pacific Division education director Ken Weslake was awarded the SPD Education Merit medallion for his years of service in Adventist Education. After 44 years in education, Mr Weslake and his wife Julie have gone to pastor the Adventist Church on Norfolk Island—incorporated into the GSC in 1959.
New Zealand Pacific Union Conference (NZPUC) Adventist Education director Dan Carrasco presented the medallion to Mr Weslake saying, “For many in the entities in which Ken Weslake has served, he exemplified leadership that says, ‘I know you can do it, and I will be beside you to support you.’ And what’s more, he would do it with wit, warmth and humility.
“The SPD’s Education Merit Medallion not only honours Ken but also honours the support of his wife Julie and their children. Ken acknowledges that the medallion represents a team effort and for those who know him, this team included his wife Julie and their children.”
