\nSri Lankan Born Kerrigan La-Brooy Wins Victorian Leadership Award\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/span>& Attracts Thousands to Gethsemane\u2019s 2019 Clyde Carols by Candlelight<\/span>
\n<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

\"Kerrigan…Pastor Kerrigan La-Brooy has done it again. He was Nominated for the 2019 Victorian Premier\u2019s Champion Award for Leadership and on December 1st<\/sup> he was announced as the Winner. Kerrigan was invited to Government House in Melbourne Victoria and met with the Governor, the Honourable\u00a0Linda Dessau and other local MPs. Kerrigan felt honoured and humbled to be in the midst of his fellow Awardees and said it felt like \u2018iron sharpening iron\u2019<\/em>. This latest Award adds to the string of existing Accolades he already has \u2013 as a Singer Songwriter, Actor, Writer, Producer, Event Planner, Senior Pastor and Charity Founder. Kerrigan\u2019s Accomplishments include, \u201cBest Male Vocal\u201d \u201cBest New Talent\u201d and Topping the Worldwide Mainstream Charts for a record-breaking 14 weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to his numerous awards and accolades for his Music, Kerrigan has led the congregation and community of Gethsemane Church and Charity through to many other awards and nominations in just two years since planting the church and founding the charity. These include:<\/span><\/p>\n

Volunteer of the Year 2018 and 2019\u2026In fact, Kerrigan and his beautiful wife Michelle were the Reigning Winners for 2019.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Group of the Year 2018 and 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

Casey Citizen of the Year 2018 & 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lindsay King Arts Award Nomination 2018 & 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

Holt Australia Day Awards 2018 & 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

And Kerrigan was also named Person of the Year 2019 in the Local Star News Press.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Kerrigan is not fazed on winning awards. He appreciates just being Nominated because he doesn\u2019t do what he does for recognition. However, the Victorian Premier\u2019s Leadership Award was of special significance to him because in his role as Senior Pastor the need for Leadership and Shepherding is vital, so naturally he\u2019s stoked.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In his leadership and volunteering role, Kerrigan offers sacrificial dedication and commitment. He works round the clock 24\/7 with barely any sleep and little time to eat. He survives on 2 to 3 hours sleep and one meal a day, but he does it joyfully and you\u2019ll never him complain. Those volunteering alongside him respect and admire him.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kerrigan is an exemplary Leader. He leads by Example. He doesn\u2019t expect anyone to do anything he hasn\u2019t already done or isn\u2019t prepared to do himself. His motto is \u2018do as I do\u2019<\/em> not \u2018do as I say\u2019<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Out of a list of Hundreds of Nominees Kerrigan made the Top Ten and went on to receive his Award on December 1st<\/sup> 2019. Kerrigan was Nominated by his Local Council, the City of Casey. The Victorian Premier’s Volunteer Champions Awards were created to recognize the incredible impact volunteers have across Victoria in building communities, services, and connections. The Leadership Awards entail the Following:<\/span><\/p>\n

Leaders are the people that bring others together, that set the path, that can identify a way through to solve an issue, improve a service, or connect the dots. They\u2019re the ones that not only create change but bring others on the journey with them. Leaders establish, improve and grow a service, engage others and build teams and connections. Perhaps they\u2019re the person who always says \u201cyes\u201d whenever there\u2019s a call for help, or who has helped with everything from the canteen to the committee.<\/span><\/p>\n

Or perhaps they\u2019re someone everyone relies on to keep things moving. Or someone who just always shows up and does their best to help. They are people who see a problem or an issue and figure out a way to solve it, not just for themselves, but for everyone in the community. They may have fixed a problem, facilitated a solution, or simply figured out how to deliver change, whether small or large for their organization, sector, or community.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pastor Kerrigan is a visionary and he has a Vision for Gethsemane that he has not divulged in its entirety because he believes in protecting it against negativity in its fledging stages, until it finds its feet, and he doesn\u2019t want to overwhelm anyone. Only a very few close to his heart have been privy to his Vision in its entirety. Rubbing Shoulders with Governors, Mayors, Councillors, Parliamentarians and people in high places is all well and good\u2026but more importantly, Kerrigan believes in being true to himself and displaying integrity in everything he does and to everyone around him.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How does Kerrigan manage to accomplish all this, with 6 small children of his own to tend for? Well for starters he shelved his career to raise his children. Apart from that he survives on barely 2 hours sleep and 1 meal a day (around midnight). Although those close to him will argue that \u2018survives\u2019 isn\u2019t quite the right word \u2013 it\u2019s more like \u2018thrives\u2019. Kerrigan is thankful for a faithful team around him who believe in his vision and are faithful to their calling.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

2019 Clyde Carols by Candlelight<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Kerrigan<\/p>\n

The 2019 Clyde Carols by Candlelight was another enormous success. In only its 3rd<\/sup> year the Event attracted around 5 thousand people. Senior Pastor and Planter of Gethsemane Church as well as Founder and Creator of Gethsemane Charity, Kerrigan La-Brooy, along with Team Gethsemane worked round the clock to ensure everyone had a good time and more importantly to spread the love of Jesus, which is whom Christmas is all about.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There were 14 FREE Raffle Prizes drawn as Giveaways and the 1st<\/sup> Prize in the main Raffle was around $3,000 with the 2nd<\/sup> one coming in at over $1,000. All the children enjoyed Unlimited Free Rides for the duration of the event which ran from 5.30-9.30 pm. The arrival of Santa on a Fire Truck was definitely a highlight along with Ps Kerrigan\u2019s brief Message about the true meaning of Christmas before he sang \u201cWhen A Child Is Born\u201d<\/em> backed by the Gethsemane Singers.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Carols may be over, but the Charitable works of Gethsemane Church & Charity continue. In two weeks, they\u2019ll be presenting their Christmas Miracle where they\u2019re expecting to give over 1 thousand children a brand-new Christmas Gift. To many of these children it will be the only gift they receive for Christmas. This is a personal contribution to the community from Ps Kerrigan and his family \u2013 to repay in some small way all the Blessings the Lord has bestowed on him, his wife Michelle and their 6 priceless treasure children, Kerrigan Jr, Heathcliff, Tempest, Xondra, Tennessee and Jerusalem, aged 6,7,8,9,10 & 11.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Kerrigan<\/p>\n

This is on top of Gethsemane\u2019s 30 thousand budget for the carols. They\u2019re nowhere near meeting their expenses but it doesn\u2019t stop them blessing the community. They\u2019re hopeful that some good Samaritan (or more than one) will find it in their hearts to support their cause. Staunch Christians they were not surprised, nevertheless stoked, to witness ominous clouds in the background during the Carols Event but the Hand of God moved them right past and though it rained beyond them, not a drop fell on the oval.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hundreds of positive comments keep rolling in. Some read:<\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you Pastor and wife Michelle and to all of the Gethsemane crew for such a fun day yesterday my kids had so much fun and excited that we won #5 the Lego game God bless you all we cannot wait to join the fun next year.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
