John Delezio had a massive career change in his 40s: after owning a successful business, he decided to do an MTS Blue Collar apprenticeship and study at Vocational Bible College.
After his formal training, John was ordained as an Anglican minister and spent five years at Church @the Peak in South West Sydney continuing to be trained as a church planter.
In January 2023, John and his wife Kate were invited to start working and serving the community of Warilla North with the hope of getting to know and build trust with the people who live in that community.
By November that same year, John and Kate, along with a small group of Christians from the community, opened the doors of Lake Illawarra Community Church. It now has a weekly Wednesday evening service.
Please pray that God continues to help John build relationships and trust that lead to Gospel conversations as he serves at the local op shop, the local food bank, the weekly cheese toastie event, as well as in the Warilla North public school each week as the SRE teacher and a volunteer at the homework club on Thursdays.
Please also pray for Jaedon Scott who is working alongside John to reach the many youth who live in the area and who don’t know Jesus yet.
This ministry is a team effort and would not be possible without the prayers and financial support of many. Would you consider joining the LICC team by praying and giving? Sign up below.
