Raised on an isolated farm by his Father and left school at 13 to work on the farm.
During his teenage years he was influenced by the Presbyterian Bible Class Movement.
An experience in a Nelson Church changed his life and empowered him for the rest of
his life. The pulpit appeared to be filled with radiant light and he ‘heard’ God calling
him to become a Minister. At age 18 with no money and little education but encouraged
by his Minister, the Rev Madill; Keith enrolled at High School along with the third
formers, later attending Canterbury University. While a student at the Theological Hall,
he regularly cycled between Dunedin and Blenheim.

seventy. Upon return to New Zealand undertook relieving work from Whitianga to
Invercargill.
“Keith Hadfield’s influence will continue. Empowered by that early vision, he never let
his shortcomings block him. If they had not bothered God, why should they bother Keith!
Young people in particular respected ‘Haddy’s’ simplicity and dedication. .” (From Obit.)

In retirement acted at Chaplain at Trevellyn Home and also preached in the Waikato and

“He captured young people. His sermons when directed to children were often in serial
form – wait until next week for the next episode – and they were left on a cliffhanger.
Rowland had a notable pulpit gift. It came from the foundation of his faith – the inspired
word of God in the Bible. In family services Rowland’s skills as a Teacher were clear.
He freely used visual aids – sketching pictures as he preached to illustrate a point. Yet
for all his achievements Rowland was a humble man. His accomplishments shaped the
lives of others.” (From Obit.)
