Kenneth Mambo – Commerce City, Colorado … The First Denver Indonesian Seventh-day Adventist Church (FDISDAC) in Commerce City, Colorado, was grateful to recognize an important milestone—retirement—for two very special people to the church during a special worship service, March 28. Douglas and Susan Inglish, RMC vice president for Administration and accountant, respectively, joined the church for a service recognition ceremony.
“It was a blessing to spend the Sabbath together,” remarked Kenneth Mambo, FDISDAC church member. “Pastor Doug and Susan have been an inspiration to our church for many years. Their relationship with our congregation dates to the very beginning of our church.”
“Pastor Doug played a vital role in the purchase of our church building, being involved in every step of the process from start to finish. He has also been a strong source of spiritual support, encouraging us to keep Christ at the center of our church family and leadership as we face challenges.”
When asked about his plans for retirement, Doug shared that he looks forward to working on projects at home, revisiting his interest in Russian language and literature, and possibly continuing part-time ministry in churches around the Rocky Mountain Conference.
“We are truly grateful to have Pastor Doug and Susan as part of our community. As our lead pastor, Pastor Widy Gara shared, ‘they are part of our church family and always welcome, especially as they live nearby’,” Mambo continued. “Their lifelong dedication to ministry in various capacities is a testament to their faith, and we pray that God continues to bless them in this new chapter.”
Mambo reflected that the service recognition ceremony reminded attendees “that God places the right people in the right place at the right time. He continues to call individuals and families to be a light to others. Our church will always cherish the relationship we have with the Inglish family as they continue to support God’s work. Congratulations on your retirement, Pastor Doug and Susan Inglish, and thank you for your faithful service.”
