Awarded the National Medal of Merit in 1998 by the Government of Vanuatu in recognition

towards independence.
Son of Rev A.D. Horwell above.
“Graham and Margaret arrived in a country [The New Hebrides] where the war in the Pacific
had left a tribal, primitive and disunited population…. Graham’s first gathering of the
Australian and New Zealand Missionaries and Church leaders in 1948 guided the formation
of the independent Presbyterian Church of the New Hebrides. In hindsight, clearly God’s
leading provided, in Graham Horwell, a new generation of Missionary, not influenced by the
paternalism so common with pre-war missionaries. Here was a man of vision with an urgent
attitude to co-operate with, not only the village folk of the islands in his own district, but
throughout the Group.
Graham’s responsibilities for the Central islands district with its many islands and villages
required him to be away from home for long periods. The small launch ‘Break of Day’ was
the backbone of Graham’s work. Graham loved the sea and came to respect its moods,
learning to live and survive on it. At Christmas 1951 Graham and Margaret found
themselves marooned on their tiny island home of Lamenu spending Christmas Day foraging
along its coast for bits and pieces left from the launch, smashed by the power of the
hurricane which struck on Christmas Eve. The heartache and concern for the family’s safety
and frustration in trying to meet the needs of his people, could well have persuaded a less
determined team than Graham and Margaret to seek another field of service.
[His] most valuable contribution to the merging nation of Vanuatu was his leadership with
the Presbyterian Church of the New Hebrides. His facility with Bislama, the universal
language for the whole country, as well as a couple of the indigenous languages, made him
the obvious spokesperson for the Church with officialdom in the British-French
Condominium – where he was highly respected as an advocate for the New Hebrides people.
Graham had frustrating negotioations with the British Administration in getting Vaemali
Hospital on Epi Island established. That hospital, serving three to four thousand people is
surely a monument to Graham’s concern for the islanders and his determined diplomacy.
On his return to NZ in 1969, Graham was appointed Associate Secretary for the Overseas
Missions Committee. His main responsibility was the South Pacific Churches where he
travelled extensively in the area familiar to him and among the people who were dear to
him.
In retirement at Ohope… he served on Parish Council, led a Home Study Group, conducted
worship services and was a valued pastoral visitor. Graham was also a Trustee of the Ohope
Christian Camp and Treasurer for 15 years.
[Graham] has created a permanent memorial in the history of the Christian Church in Vanuatu
And also in the hearts of the generation with whom they worked and worshipped.
‘Ito, ito, mifala sore tumas’ (Go well, go well. We are all very sorry).
Many in Church and community both on Aotearoa and the Pacific remember Graham with
affection and with love. This kind, loving, resourceful, loyal and determined man has
served his God well, never diverting from what was honest, true and good.” (From Obit.)

“Jim was one of that band of Home Missionaries who a generation and more
ago served the Presbyterian Church loyally and courageously, mostly in remote
country places, often in difficult situations with little local support, in manses
that were frequently not up to standard, with minimal training for ministry, and
with constant worries about the financial viablility of the Home Mission station.
Jim went from being a young farm worker, deeply involved in the Presbyterian
Bible Class movement,  to be Home Missionary in the Rangitaiki Outfields Station. 
That was in 1939.  When he and Agnes married, they lived in a bach on a farm –
place that was only half-lined and without facilities. Jim was provided with an
old Ford Beauty car to get around this extensive parish.  In his second Home
Mission Station he had only a bicycle to cover a vast rural area.
In later years he served at Mangapai (Northland), Hauraki Plains,  Ohakune-Raetihi
(later called Waimarino) and Mangere Stations.  From there they went to serve
with the Maori Synod at the David Hogg Memorial Hostel in Whakatane.
Later they moved to Hamilton where Jim worked in a steel factory and did Sunday
supply in many Waikato Parishes. With the help of some of his ministry colleagues,
concerned that there seemed no place for Jim in the ministry, arrangements were
made for him to be assistant to the late Very Rev Stan Read in New Plymouth,
where he was at last recognised as a minister in full standing.   He was called to the
Waihi Parish where he and Agnes spent nine and a half happy years.  His final
appointment before retiring was at Eltham. 
In retirement in Hamilton Jim was in demand for conducting Sunday services and
especially for funerals”(from Obit.)
“I had the the greatest admiration for the work that this conscientious and totally
dedicated if virtually untrained minister put into his work in a difficult and  far-flung
parish.  I particularly admired his love and concern for the people of the parish,
church-goers or not.  He always had a pastor's heart. Most  ministers of our Church
today will not have heard of him. He must be one of the last of that generation of
former Home Missionaries who worked under conditions that no one today would
countenance, and often with minimal support” (Rev L Hampton, 2001).

“These ten years [1939 to 1949] represented an outstanding contribution to the
life of the Presbyterian Church and its youth work. It was a life in which he was
constantly on the move – and it was one which was accepted willingly by Archie
and supported warmly by his wife, Janet. It is not an exaggeration to say that
throughout the Presbyterian Church in this country the name of Archie Huston
was a household one in that era.
In his Parish ministries and in his life as a whole he will be remembered in many
ways. There was his personal faith which he shared with others, simply and
naturally. There was his commitment to Christian nurture and education. There
was the rare quality of his sense of humour. Their was his love of people and the
importance he attached to friendship and caring. There was that special and
infectious love of music.” (from Obit.)
