Australia was never a place I had ever given much thought to, apart from 'G'day's, kangaroos and the television programme Neighbours.

But, after meeting some people from 'down under' in a Christian chat room, my attention turned. It was through getting to know these friends over about three years, prayer and God's guiding hand that I have ended up in Australia, not only going out to meet them, but to spend a whole year in Hobart Tasmania doing volunteer work with a church planting movement called Vision100.

After college I had been wanting to take a 'Gap Year', a year out usually between college and uni. I decided to make it a year out for the Lord in Australia.
