Everyman’s was sorry to hear of the recent loss of one of our past REPs, Doug LAWRENCE. Doug and his wife Marie were involved in Christian ministry for much of their lives, and Everyman’s was an important part of that. Their time with us was formative, particularly Doug’s time as the Everyman at Woodside Barracks in the Adelaide Hills area of South Australia at what was then 16 Air Defence Regiment. How fitting it is to Doug’s memory, that Everyman’s is looking to re-commence our ministry at that same barracks soon. Doug served 16 AD as the Everyman’s REP from 1951 to 1959. Like many of us in Everyman’s, we will never know how many lives we have touched for sure until we reach eternity. However, it was a blessing to have REPs like Doug ready to serve during those periods of National Service in the 50’s. We pay tribute also to his dear wife Marie who passed away some years previously. She was a wonderful support to him always.
All of us in Everyman’s today say, “God bless you Doug!” All our thanks and joy at knowing that you are now with Marie again and “Promoted to Glory.”
