We have had a very busy 5 months, especially with the Fruitful Harvest and Camp.
Vanessa did an amazing job with profiling the CFFD ministry through many disability
organisations within the Central Area. Thank you so much to everyone that took part
in helping and organising the various activities we had. Camp was also great - we
had Julian Batchelor as our speaker who equipped us in evangelising the gospel in
an effective way.
And just last week, the AGM ( Vanessa has now aptly called it About God's Ministry,
instead of the Annual General Meeting ) was held where we re-elected members for
the committee. They are :
- Jean Griffiths ( Chairperson ),
- Vanessa Creamer ( Secretary ),
- John Beetge ( Treasurer ),
- Alison Ryan,
- Michael Stoneham,
- Timothy Donnell and
- Jade O'Leary.
|
We farewelled Dave Ryan - thank you, Dave - and introduce Tim, as well as Pastor
Robbie Burns who will be our Spiritual Advisor, along with Barry Charlton.
Two photos from the Gala Day, brilliantly organized by Vanessa Creamer.

PROFILE

|
Tim
|
Kia Ora! Some people call me Tim - feel free to join
that number. If I was to summarise myself I'd say I
was a keen bloke - keen about lots of things... sport
( anything! ), music ( playing the saxophone, the tuba
and the sound desk ), Louisa ( my girlfriend! ), kids
( especially the ones at Windsor Park Baptist who like
listening to me teach ), long walks along the beach -
that kind of thing...
I am also studying sociology and working towards a
teaching degree at the University of Auckland. The
main reason why I get up in the morning though, is
my living and breathing relationship with Jesus. He
has me on a great journey of learning! Woohoo! Just
recently, He even managed to put me on the CFFD
committee - Wow! I reckon that good teachers are
just passionate learners, and boy, I quickly learnt that
people with disabilities have a lot to teach people like
me. So here I am - keen - real keen to learn the
lessons that God is especially tailoring for me to
share. How exciting is that?!! Amen!
