An experience in a Nelson Church changed his life and empowered him for the rest of
his life. The pulpit appeared to be filled with radiant light and he ‘heard’ God calling
him to become a Minister. At age 18 with no money and little education but encouraged
by his Minister, the Rev Madill; Keith enrolled at High School along with the third
formers, later attending Canterbury University. While a student at the Theological Hall,
he regularly cycled between Dunedin and Blenheim.

Marton, Wanganui Presbytery, 8 March 1984
"Bruce has a strong sense of being guided and directed by God but he also knew love. The vision of that possibility and the
pain of failure in allowing God's Spirit free reign in his life was a deep motivating force in Bruce's ministry. Seeing God's
Spirit change lives, heal deep hurts and restore broken relationships were miracles he saw happening in others' lives as well
as his own and these happenings deep within people Bruce found a strong compelling force for his work in the ministry.
With this vision Bruce expected the Church to grow - in maturity, in numbers, in group activity, in service to community and in
love of members toward one another and he used the Church Growth Seminars to communicate his vision.

Rowland had a notable pulpit gift. It came from the foundation of his faith – the inspired
word of God in the Bible. In family services Rowland’s skills as a Teacher were clear.
He freely used visual aids – sketching pictures as he preached to illustrate a point. Yet
for all his achievements Rowland was a humble man. His accomplishments shaped the
