Reddig, renowned for passionately relating stories of people’s lives and God’s love and faithfulness throughout the years, served with the Centre as director from 1979 to 1990 and returned in 2005 to replace Heinrich Loewen.

A stalwart presence and friend to many, Ken Reddig says this really is his last retirement.
