Fresh name for the young writers program - Conference of Young Emerging Writers.

It sprung initially from the September conference in Melbourne, and from several of the young emerging writers who are seeing this as a professional approach to their endeavours. To this end, and other approaches, I am using my academic credential (Dr) more and more for this ministry.

Christian Today are keen to see it expanded and we have additional young people from Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Wellington NZ and several International young emerging writers.

In 2000 after we had moved on from the Sports ministry I wrote that somehow I believed my best ministry years were yet to come - now 14 years later I am able to confirm such a statement, a statement made by many before me upon their senior ministry years.

Leading tours to the Holy Land was a highlight, as was the 2005 visit to Auschwitz and the Ukraine, along with the Country Town Tours and the Art - but for me, the two remarkable ministry adventures have been the Young Writers program and the Laguna Quays Respite for missionaries, mission and ministry. I shall write more on this, both these mission tasks are performed from my desk.

Delma's godly common sense, her role as the glue in our family and now ensuring I follow the holistic medical and pastoral care - are remarkable hallmarks.

Photo - it wasn't until I physically saw the Biblical 'Wilderness' did I comprehend its barrenness.
