In response to God’s call, Tony commenced literature ministry in Auckland 1973 and enjoyed working door-to-door until 1983, when he was called to be Assistant Publishing Director in NZ. Since that time, he has been privileged to hold positions of leadership in both ABC ministry and Literature Ministry in Australia and the Pacific Islands, coaching committed Adventists to sell truth-filled literature to prepare a remnant people for Christ’s return.

Harley is passionate about equipping and empowering young people for door-to-door literature evangelism. His journey began at fifteen, when he attended his first program as a student literature evangelist—and he’s been hooked ever since. In 2014, Harley canvassed in a three month Youth Rush program in Michigan, where he caught the vision for bringing the program to Australia. While studying to become a pastor at Avondale, he supported himself as a Jumpstart LE before leading his first student literature evangelism program in Romania in 2018. His passion for Youth Rush in Australia remained strong, and a few years later, he helped spearhead one of the first Youth Rush programs in Australia in the South Queensland Conference. Today, Harley serves as Assistant Coordinator of Literature Ministry for the SPD in the area of Youth Literature Evangelism, as the Literature Ministries Leader for the North New South Wales Conference, and as the pastor of a local church. He is married to Eliza, and together they have two little boys, Montgomery and Lincoln.

We warmly invite you to the Literature Evangelism (LE) Summit, a special gathering where Literature Evangelists, Youth Rush participants, and others involved in sharing literature come together as a family.
At the heart of our mission, we understand that people join the church for two significant reasons: friendship and the message. Literature Evangelism uniquely combines both, offering you the opportunity to serve on the front lines as God's messengers of hope. By delivering message books, you bring hope into homes and lives.
In today's world, meaningful connections and hope are sought more than ever. The Summit provides a unique opportunity to:
You’ll receive interactive training in our best selling books and initiatives, offering access to cutting-edge resources and technology to enhance your outreach efforts. Our prayer is that you’ll experience a personal revival, receive affirmation in your vital ministry as Literature Evangelists, and depart with unwavering faith, knowing that God walks with you every step of the way.
God longs to work with you as messengers of hope, bringing Jesus and our Adventist hope-filled books to a world in need. Together, we can hasten His return.
Welcome to a gathering of hearts dedicated to sharing Jesus. We look forward to seeing you there!
Literature Ministry Coordinator, Australia and New Zealand
