Update from SBLC Call Committee - 5th February 2025
As reported mid-January, we extended a contingent call to pastor Ben Hentschke. Ben called us last week and declined our call. He said that after much thought and prayer, he believed the Holy Spirit was leading him to remain in his current position as Assistant Bishop for the Qld District.
We have been in contact with Bishop Andrew Brook and will have further discussion with him and Assistant Bishop Stephen Schultz when Stephen returns in the next 2 weeks. Our objective will be to investigate other options to better identify pastors with the skills we require and who would be open to relocating to the Barossa.
After those discussions, we anticipate we will again circulate a list of pastors for members to review and forward names to us for consideration by the Call Committee.
Please contact a member of the Call Committee if you have any queries.
Kind Regards SBLC Call Committee – Michael Heinrich, Wendy Liebelt, Nevin Nitschke, Dean Hoklas, Katrina Neldner & Phil Hiscock.

During the 1870s there was a significant emigration from Scandinavia to the North Island of New Zealand.
Some three thousand Danes, Norwegians and Swedes settled on land allocated by the government in Wairarapa and southern Hawkes Bay.
To minister to them, the first Danish Lutheran pastor arrived in 1878. Mads Christensen was sent to New Zealand in 1886 by the Inner Mission, an association within the Church of Denmark.
He was pastor of the Danish Lutheran congregation in Palmerston North, the region’s largest town, from 1894 to 1927.

Supporters will have an opportunity to lay hands on Ruth and Richard Ansoul as they are sent to Uzbekistan soon. If you are moved by Holy Spirit, you are invited to participate. Please come prepared to share a scripture promise with Ruth and Richard, whatever is laid on your heart. This special occasion of blessing will be in the Barossa Ark Courtyard before the mural Faith of our Forefathers, on Sunday afternoon 6th April at 3pm.
We eagerly look forward to hearing Ruth and Richard share their Mission Report upon their return from Uzbekistan. This is bound to be a time of intrigue and encouragement, full of stories and happenings in partnership with Holy Spirit. Ruth and Richard will share their Mission Report in the Meeting Room on the 8thJune at 3pm - all welcome.
