Journey to the other
end of the earth
The ordination in February brought together two
people who have travelled to the other side of the world to
be ministers. Bruce Geeves talls the story
Each has gone his separate way, until they both came to
Tasmania and were convinced that they should serve God as
ordained ministers.
They lived in neighbouring towns, and their mothers were
friends, but they had no idea what was ahead of them in
life.
Alex
Withers and Simon
Hattrell took this journey and continue their lives in
our diocese. Simon joined the army and Alex became a
jackaroo in Australia. After many years they both arrived in
Tasmania where their lives were turned around by God.
It is good to be reminded that God has plans for our
lives far beyond what we can envisage. For Simon and Alex,
each is a reminder of the 'amazing plans' of God.
