Tonight we are holding a testimonial dinner in Canberra for ACL’s former Managing Director Jim Wallace.
Honour is an important Christian concept and as a staff, we felt it was appropriate to honour Jim for his 13 years of unpaid service, dedication and sacrifice in making ACL what it is today.
More than 120 of Jim’s closest friends and supporters will be in attendance and we are blessed to have past and present parliamentarians from both sides of politics in attendance or sending messages via pre-recorded video message.
A number of national and local church leaders will also be there.
After a distinguished 32 year army career which included command of the SAS and the mechanised brigade, Jim ‘retired’ with the rank of Brigadier to take on ACL.
Anyone who knows Jim knows that his second ‘retirement’ – this time from MD of ACL, will be much like his first – retirement in name only.
As we previously announced, Jim continues with us as Deputy Chairman with special responsibility for developing international networks for ACL in this globalised world.
Already his work is bearing fruit.
In addition, he is in demand as a speaker at churches and continues to travel extensively throughout the nation speaking on behalf of ACL.
As a staff, we are blessed to have him as a mentor and example of faithfulness to a cause which we all believe is close to the heart of Christ.
God bless,
Lyle Shelton
Managing Director
