I'm back by public demand :-)

Hey guys. It's been a long time between blogs... so i'll bring you up to speed :-)

WORK: Well for the most of this year i have been working at a place called Airs Technologies. A company that works on developing air pilot training material. It's been a good time working for a christian boss, but now i feel it's time to move somewhere else.

God is so faithfull and has provided me with a job in a field that i know im going to love. Working at World Wide Online Belmont. And for a Christian boss once again. In 2 weeks im making the big move... and it's exciting... i was alway really interested in graphic design and do the promo material for my Youth Group. (Peter the boss at WWOBelmont goes to the same church as me and does all the printing for Youth Group at cost price - such a blessing). So i will be starting of just getting print jobs ready i think and doing some basic layout and information changes, but will have plenty of opportunity to learn :-)

God is so looking after me.


MINISTRY: It is going great! I guess this is a good time to let you know exactly what me and the crew do.

In School: Ben(our youth pastor), Kym(our schools pastor), Ryan(my ministry mate), Cherub(the school chaplain), and myself run a few different things to see the Gospel spread in Thornlie Senior High School.

Every Tuesday us guys help run a class. The class is called "Study of Teaching". This is a class focused at students who have some interest in going on to be a teacher (or just thought it sounded like an easy class[but it isn't that]) :-) However it is a great class.

What we are doing is help facilitate a mentoring program. Us Christian guys and girls get the opportunity to mentor the yr11's and yr12's that are doing the class as they mentor yr8. It is such an awesome idea. We help them help kids in the school. While been given such a huge opportunity to share God with these Students.

Already through this class and our other contact in the school (for example: Core & State Youth Games) we have seen about 16 people come to know Jesus(ill check that number soon and make it accurate). Those people have become Christians in just about the last 6 months... thats another amazing thing God is doing. Putting us right in the middle of a mini-revival (that how our schools pastor Kym described it & i agree).

Every Thursday we run a lunch time meeting called CORE. It is seriously just CHURCH AT SCHOOL. It goes for their whole lunch time... 20 minutes :-) Out of those 16 students that have chosen to follow God, most of them have come to know Him at CORE. Almost everyweek someone gets saved. It is amazing what our AMAZING GOD is doing. Nothing can hinder His plans. And I'm sure He will get His reward for His suffering, He will have these students as his treasure. He deserves them.


FAMILY: My family is Great! I have such a good relationship with them all. They are all Christian and following the plans God has for their lives.
My Dad: The head of our house... A God fearing & following man. He is an Electronic Engineer... and alot more. He own 2 businesses - Digital Radio Systems & Wialki Electronic. One specialises in Radio communications and the other in Smart Battery-chargers and Power Supplies. My Dad is seriously a technological genius. And a fully anointed worship-leader. God uses him greatly.

My Mum: xoxo. She is the best Mum that I've ever had & if i ever had another one I'm sure she would still be the best! My Mum looks after me. If you stand by me for just one day... you can be sure my mobile will ring.. and you will hear me say "It's my Mum! :-)". I totally don't mind being labelled a mummies boy... especially when it is true. A definatly Godly mother who is beautiful on the outside, but so very beautiful on the inside. My mum is just like the lady in Proverbs 31:10-31.

My Bro: Tom - He is great. He is out on the mission field right now and will be for there next two years. He is an inspiration, because God has called him to Thailand and so that is where he has gone. He had just recently got back from YWAM Thailand in Chang Mai, where he was as a student in the DTS and has just 15 days ago gone back to staff it. Go Tom! Your apart of God's mighty move in Asia. - check out his blog @ http://www.tomdts.blogspot.com

My Sis: Camille - My beautiful Bruce (that is my affectionate name for her. I know it sound like a weird name. But that is why i call her that, it is a stark contrast to what she is really like... the most loveliest sista two brothers could ever have). Bruce is in her last year of High School at Thornlie Christian College. She is the School Captain there and serious from the marks she gets... the top of the class.

I am blessed with a family that has always followed Jesus & will never change it's ways. He is so faithful to us.

Testing this email post thingy

WORD! it works :)

PULSE! PULSE! Give us a wave!

I just got back from a weekend of sport, called State Youth Games. It was great.

Thornlie Church of Christ's team known as Pulse took out second place, only 34 points behind Whitford Church (last years champs). Thats just over one first place (30 points). With so many 3rd placings we were right up there.

We really gave it a good go and had great results. And were without doubt the loudest team there.

Hopefully we can go one up next year.

WORD!!!!
