Although it was over 13 years ago, I can still remember my very first Public Bible Talk with the Christian Union at Melbourne Uni. I can picture Dave standing with a halo behind him (one that he had drawn on the board himself), and talking about what Christians are like. The challenge that he gave to students who had grown up in a Christian family (of which I was one) was that childlike faith was fine if you were a child, but it just wont cut it when you're an adult.
That week 1 meeting in my first year of uni was a big challenge for me and the challenges didn't stop there. Over my 3 years at Melbourne Uni, the Christian Union had a huge impact on me. It helped me get to know God through Christ, it helped me understand what it meant to live for Him, it helped me grow in a desire and ability to serve His people, and it helped me set a trajectory of a life of ministry.
Both Dave (on campus) and Cathy (at Monday Night Training) pointed me to Christ and modelled what a life of humble service to Christ looked like. I'm excited for them in their new role as regional directors in Queensland and can't wait to see what God will do through them.
