Drouin Presbyterian Church

I became a Christian at the age of 24...

I got married and had a son, and that’s when things changed for the worse, I suffered  ...

I grew up in a Catholic family. I was baptised as a baby and received first communion in my local church in Sicily. I attended church fairly regularly with my mother until my early teenage years.

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation, the old has gone, the new has come

(2 Cor 5:17).

I was born in Brisbane into a Hindu family ...

It was a great start in life to have Christian parents, but it didn’t make me a Christian. Being a missionary kid I heard and saw amazing examples of Christian faith and God at work in PNG

He left His Father’s throne above, so free, so infinite His grace, Emptied Himself of all but love, and bled for Adam’s helpless race; ‘Tis mercy all, immense and free, for O my God, it found out me!

It was a beautiful sunny day, the birds were singing and fluffy white clouds were floating through the sky. Actually scratch all that, I became a Christian when I was around 4 years old.

I was brought up in a Christian home in which both parents were passionately involved in Sunday school and actively involved in the church fellowship.

I was born just after the Second World War into a middleclass family. We attended the Presbyterian Church in Burwood. I was baptised into the church with in weeks of birth and continued my attendance until I was 18 years old.

I was raised in a very loving Christian family in South Africa with parents who love the Lord. My parents are still part of the same Dutch Reformed church I went to all my years at home.

From a young age I was exposed to Christianity, growing up in a Christian home. Both my parents and grandparents have played a significant role in developing my faith.
