I studied BSci (Hons) from 1999 - 2002 at Melbourne University and at the end of my third year I became a Christian. Although I was committed to following Jesus I still had a lot of questions to explore during my Honours year (2002). I found that reading the bible often generated even more questions, especially as I encountered passages that either contradicted my world view, or my picture of what I thought Christians believed about God.
What a privilege it was, then, to meet with Dave on a weekly basis in the Union Building to go through my list of questions. Each week I had a new list based on what I had read from the bible and on previous conversations, and whenever we met I was amazed at the way he could answer every one of my questions in a logical and methodical fashion. I am convinced that having a weekly mentoring session with Dave is one of the reasons that I was able to grow as a Christian and 12 years later continue to trust that the bible reveals to us a true picture of God.
My wife and I got to know Cathy later on and have been blessed with the wisdom of both of them as they have helped us think about what a good marriage looks like. We look to them as role models of how we can live our lives as a blessing to all those around us.
