WHO WE ARE



I invited Christ into my heart, September of 1976. Then in May 1977 at a Des Penny Crusade Taree, I received the baptism of the Holy Spirit in its fullness speaking in another language unknown to me. This was definitely the empowering and supercharge to the Christian life that we all should seek..

At 16 I led my first Youth Group in the Anglican Church for 6 years. In 1988 I then became involved at the Christian Activity Centre (a new Pentecostal church) with Ps Doug & Karen Stanton (now DSMI in America). In 1989 I became the full time youth pastor for 6 years. During that time our church was touched with revival. The youth grew from 10 to 80 with numerous salvations, healings, new Christian classes, preaching... it was a very exciting time.

During this time I also took on the role of assistant pastor functioning in such areas as: preaching, altar call ministry, administration, counseling, and community work projects...

In 1995 my family (wife Belinda & son Benjamin) flew to Minnesota USA to help on the ministry team with Ps Doug Stanton Ministries International.

In 2000 we had moved to Central Coast for our children's schooling.

In 2004 God had miraculously brought me full circle to preaching again, running the men's ministry, worship leading, guitar in the band, backyard blitz's, management team, pastoring people, mentoring, bible study nights and so on. I was resurrected.

In 2007 God began a new thing in leading me in running my own church, our pastor had seen the call on my life for some time and released us with his blessing. Numerous signs and wonders confirmed this even to this present day have caused me to now take this bold step into God's plan and destiny for my and my families future in Him. Both Belinda and I both felt this was God's timing for us.

In April 2008 obediently we pioneered and birthed Bridge To Life Ministries in The Entrance. Starting with just three of us - my wife Belinda, my best mate VB, and our two kids Alannah & Matt.

Today the church has grown from a seed into a healthy tree with much fruit. Inside the church various groups have developed, like home groups, music cell, Impact Youth Friday night, young adults, Sunday church 10:00am and 6:00pm. Outside the church we are involved in the community gardens, help training the unemployed trade skills and street reach programs.
