Mel Rees was considered the dean of Seventh-day Adventist stewardship educators. For more than 30 years he assisted conferences and congregations, as well as the wider levels of church organization, in comprehending the theology of stewardship and the practical implementation of stewardship principles in the real world of the local congregation. His workshops for pastors and laity always emphasized stewardship as a divine/human relationship more than fundraising. He is now at rest awaiting the return of Jesus.
