To Know God and to Make Him Known
On May 5th 2001, God brought together 1 Canadian and 1 Aussie and had them embark on a life of serving Him full-time in Missions.
Bill is originally from Calgary, Canada and moved to Townsville, Australia in 1998 to do his Discipleship Training School with Reef to Outback.
Tamara grew up in Adelaide and after working as a Nurse for several years, completed her Discipleship Training school in Townsville, Australia in 1999.
Caleb Thomas arrived on October 1st 2002. He is our beautiful spirited, energetic, sports loving, little red haired guy.
Jessica Lee arrived on April 12th 2006. She blesses us daily with her infectious joy, cheeky grin, continuous chatter and little red haired curls.

The “Settling” Bit
This is the next part of our transition phase. We’ve passed the decision making, packing, selling and closure part (that’s what we did in Australia), now we’re onto the “Settling” stage and YES, we would love to get covered in PRAYER for this part!

“Still Call Australia Home…”
Some may know Peter Allen’s song… no matter how far or how wide I roam, I still call Australia home. We’ve been in Canada for close to 6 weeks now and I must admit that often…sometimes many times a day, that song makes its way into my head. For Bill it it feels somewhat different. For a large part, Australia is also home to him. Yes, his “roots” are in Calgary, but it it with his wife and 2 children that he also made a home in Australia.
