I am the eldest daughter of a family of nine children. We went to a Christian school, attended Sunday School and church. In 1957 we migrated from Holland to Australia, on a migrant ship, where I met my future husband. We were married in 1960.

My Testimony – Ian de Wal |
|
|

I have always gone to a church. Ever since I was a kid, my parents had us all go to church. But it wasn't until I was 26 years old that we were challenged in what we believed.
We had our oldest son "sprinkled" in baptism by the minister of our old church. Two months later we moved to a town called Carcoar, which is a little village outside of Blayney near Orange. The wife of my boss (who we later found out had attended Faith Chapel), challenged my wife Linda, to show her, in the Bible, where it says that infants need to be baptised. So after about two months of research, we realised that it was no where to be found in God's Word. We also looked in all the information we could get our hands on from the old church.

My Testimony – Pastor Bill Morris |
|
|
|
I was born in Scotland. When I was five years old my family migrated to Australia. My parents provided a good home. While I had no religious teaching at home, we had some at school. When I was eleven years of age, a mainstream denominational minister taught our class about Creation. I quizzed him about it as we had just been taught evolution at school. I asked how Creation could be true since evolution was apparently a fact. He told me I could believe in both as God “had created evolution”. Rather than produce faith, this statement reinforced my agnosticism as I saw that only one could possibly be true and chose evolution as best fitting the facts as I understood them.

My Story - Clive Jacobsen |
|
|
|
I am the second eldest of 7 children from Bankstown, NSW, where I lived until 18 years of age. My parents, Fred and Coral, were converted as a result of a Sunday School drive conducted by a nearby Protestant assembly called 'The Peoples Church' in 1954 when I was 7 years old. That church was to be a focal point of our family, where we attended all the various meetings held there.
