David Collins
As I look back over time, I believe God has been preparing me to serve Him in cross-cultural ministry all my life. In more recent years, this understanding has become clearer as I’ve involved myself in short-term mission trips to various Pacific nations. By living in the Solomon Islands, I see myself equipping and empowering leaders, who will develop effective theological education through the new ministry training centre being established at Noro.

Rev. Dallas Thomas
Dallas and Ruth Thomas worked as missionaries with the Wesleyan Church, based in Papua New Guinea for three years in the early 1990’s. Upon their return to Australia, they established World Hope International, while Dallas also served in the elected role of National Director of Wesleyan World Missions. He has worked as General Manager at Vonex Telecom up until recently when moving to part time remote work. This has allowed them to volunteer their time and skills in various parts of the world, but most recently at the Noro Training Centre.
Dallas continues to serve part time as the Missions Director. He is passionate about the development and structuring of National Church Leadership and business development in a sustainable way. Dallas and Ruth have three children and six grandchildren.

Bougainville
After the pioneering efforts of Frank and Ruth Midavaine over 25 years ago to form the Wesleyan Methodist Church of Bougainville, the New Zealand Wesleyan Church took over the primary responsibility for the development of Theological Education. In 2022 they appointed Australian Rev. Kevin Brown to a part time role to continue as Education Advisor to the church in Bougainville.
We again have the privilege to support our brothers and sisters there through Kevin.
