Dean Pepall is married to Janette. They have 6 adult children, including 5 international adoptees, and 7 grandchildren. Since the 1970s Dean has been a child rights advocate, working with a range of people, groups and governments across the globe.
Dean’s passion is to make a difference in the lives of children by educating and supporting those who work with the most vulnerable, children at risk. He shares, “We have been involved with Entrust for over ten years. It is a privilege to be an Entrust Ambassador, to be involved in several of their projects, and to see firsthand how their timely and practical support to the less fortunate is making an impact on thousands of lives.”
Michael’s friendship with Mission Enterprise personnel goes back 40 years, and, in 2010 Entrust agreed to serve displaced people in remote areas of Myanmar with Michael. Entrust visited the area and recognised the needs. An association developed in which Michael was appointed an Ambassador. Michael’s skills were honed in administering professional associations as well as churches and denominations. Michael has also worked as a pastor and brings these skills and his passion for the people of Myanmar to his role as Ambassador. He is married to Terry, has three sons and 10 grandchildren, some of who share his mission interests.
Originally a New Zealander, John moved to Melbourne in his 20s. John is passionate about teamwork and having fun, and brings both these qualities to Entrust in his role as Ambassador. He also freely shares his skills as a Graphic Designer. John is also heavily involved in resettlement activities with Karen Refugees through Croydon Hills Baptist, and this passion is another reason for his involvement with Entrust; John knows the suffering of those living in less developed nations.
John is married to Jenny and has two daughters. In John’s spare time he likes to stay fit through swimming and running and has conquered Tough Mudder and the Lorne Pier to Pub.
