Peter Thomsett the guest speaker is currently the chaplain at Asquith Boy’s High. He has served as a missionary in that school for over 20 years!
He immediately connected well with the teachers when he confessed to wanting to quit his position innumerable times.
Several teachers commented to me that Peter’s honesty was a blessing to them.
Peter reinforced that teachers are missionaries and that they are anointed.

Melbourne Breakfast Report |
|
In writing the report on the Melbourne breakfast there are two main points I will highlight.
- The presence of the Lord at the breakfast was described by one teacher as precious and personal.
- The Lord doesn’t rely on scripture verses to draw children to Himself.
Stephen Leslie the guest speaker at the Melbourne breakfast shared a true account of a young boy in a state primary school who came to know the Lord through a ‘random’ comment that an adult made. This story is particularly encouraging for teachers in government schools.
Stephen is the principal of Northside Christian College and has been teaching since 1975.
The small but select group was indeed blessed by his talk.
The theme for all the breakfasts this year is Isaiah 61:1-3, which begins with “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me.”

Ineke Laning and her daughter Danielle are both teachers and both attended the teachers’ breakfast in Hobart last year.
So it was wonderfully appropriate for Ineke to accept the invitation to be the guest speaker this year. Ineke is Dean of Students (in charge of discipline) at Calvin Christian School and has 4 sons as well as the gorgeous Danielle.
Ineke knows she is called to teach.
She stated that the Lord has anointed her.
