Friday Night 14th October Speaker - Reverend Tracey Wolsley
Tracey has been actively invoIved in the Bendigo region for over twenty years. Since being ordained and priested in the Anglican Church almost ten years ago she has served in the parishes of Eaglehawk, Inglewood and south-east Bendigo. In 2008 Tracey took on the role of Chaplain to the north-west Region of CFA and was thrown in the deep end with events of Black Saturday in 2009. This brought significant changes to her ministry and life when she was then appointed Community Chaplain in the Fire Affected Areas of Bendigo. After less than two weeks and following consultation with the community, Tracey opened Our Place - a place of hope - Fire Recovery/Community Assistance Centre in Eaglehawk. From the time its doors were opened Our Place has continued to grow and thrive and provide an important service in the community. Today Tracey is kept very busy as the Director and in March last year opened Our Shed Community Resource Centre and just recently Our House, Our Garden and Our Chapel.
Alongside her ongoing role of supporting the fire affected community on the long road to recovery, Tracey also works in flood recovery, sits on numerous community boards and is mum to four ‘supposedly’ adult children. She is known to many young people who have found themselves in difficult situations and has a passion for people to know the love, grace and mercy of God in their lives. Her joy is watching people grow and blossom, engaging the church in the life of the community and embracing the community into the life of the church.

Allan Meyer
Allan met his wife Helen in High School. They married in 1968 and celebrated their 42nd wedding anniversary last year. They have four children and nine grand children.
They both commenced their working life as teachers. Bringing Christ to the student body led to a call to Youth Ministry in 1978. They served Life Ministry Centre for five years before being called as Senior Ministers to Mount Evelyn Christian Fellowship in Melbourne in 1983. In 2003 the church was re-named Careforce Church.
Allan led Careforce Church for twenty six years and in that time saw the church grow from a few hundred to a church of 2000. During that time the church established an amazing missions' ministry in India which has seen thousands of churches planted and hundreds of thousands won to Christ.
In 1992 Allan and Helen established Careforce Lifekeys – a ministry focused on bringing healing to broken people; discipleship, church health and evangelism in the 21st Century. They created a Facilitator Training Program and twelve programs to release ministry touching thousands of churches throughout Australia, New Zealand, the USA, countries of the old Soviet Union and other parts of the world.
In 2004 Allan completed his doctorate with Denver Seminary by producing a program (Valiant Man) designed to restore and fortify the moral and spiritual integrity of men. More than 30,000 men have experienced this program. The release of the book From Good Man to Valiant Man adds to the focus in bringing life to men. Valiant Man has been translated into Russian and Indonesian.
In January 2009 Allan handed over the leadership of Careforce Church and later that year left the staff to devote his time to the ministry of Careforce Lifekeys. He travels extensively throughout Australia and the world at large, training and preaching the great restoration themes of the Bible, and coaching churches to use the Lifekeys programs effectively. A prime focus of his ministry is speaking at Men’s Conferences while bringing the Lifekeys ministry to churches all over the world.
Recent developments have seen Valiant Man, the book and DVD program, translated into Indonesian and an indigenous organization (Valiant Man Indonesia) established to take the program across the nation. Focus on the Family in New Zealand have joined forces with Lifekeys to see the Valiant Man and Understanding Your Valiant Man programs introduced to churches in every city of the nation.
Allan can be enticed to most places in the world on the promise of a round of golf at a great golf course.
