One of our staff members here at ANC is Ian Davidson. Ian has lived in Sudbury for most of his life. He has been attending All Nations for 22 years and joined the board of Elders about two and a half years ago. Ian’s love for ANC started when a friend invited him to a Sunday service. He attended once and never left. Ian then became good friends with Jeremy and Eileen Mahood. The people, the sense of family and the quality of the pastoral services kept him at the church. Ian is an elder and also serves as the ANC executive director. He belongs to the human resource and finance committee and acts as a volunteer in his responsibilities. Ian has always been motivated to make a difference in the world where it is possible. He says, “Serving the Lord makes service to others very rewarding.” Outside of work, Ian loves to spend time with his family. He has been married to his high-school sweetheart for 39 years. Ian and his wife have two boys and three grandchildren. He is from a family of 5 kids, and his grandfather was a devoted Christian and lay baptist pastor. Ian knew from an early age that God put him on earth to be a peacemaker, Shepherd, and, ultimately, a police officer.
Ian’s favourite scripture is Psalm 23; he says it has so much meaning and relevance. “The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” – Psalm 23
