House of Assembly
Newfoundland and Labrador

This Member’s Statement was presented by Roland Butler in the House of Assembly on April 28, 2009
MR. SPEAKER:
The hon. the Member for the District of Port de Grave
MR. BUTLER: Last week being Volunteer Week, I want to pay tribute to a young gentleman from my district. I rise today to congratulate twenty-one-year-old Trevor Deering of Shearstown on completing a three-year training session in pastoral studies at the Vanguard Bible College in Edmonton, Alberta.

Trevor was an active volunteer in his community, taking part in events for children, and performing at benefit concerts to assist those in need; truly a caring and compassionate individual.

One of eight who graduated with top honours from Ascension Collegiate, Bay Roberts, Trevor had a dream to serve others. After a training session with The Billy Graham Association, his dreams were on the road to becoming a reality.

On April 26, 2009, Trevor became a credential holder with the Pentecostal Assemblies of Newfoundland and Labrador and will soon be assigned a pastoral charge. I have no doubt his new congregation will be delighted to have him and I know he will serve the community well, as he did in the past.


Mr. Speaker, I ask all hon. members to join with me, as well as his family and many friends, in congratulating Trevor Deering and wishing him continued success in the future.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
