Studying at Moore is “disciples making disciples” in action for me, having been born on Little Queen while Dad was studying at College, and now living on “Big” Queen Street while I study. For both my husband Craig (who finished last year) and me, taking time to study at Moore College is about being equipped for a lifetime of raising up disciples of Jesus who will make more disciples of Jesus. During our time at Moore, I have been thankful to be grounded deeply in God’s Word—through learning biblical languages, learning how to understand and apply the Old Testament, gathering together as a community for chapel, and in applying God’s Word to our lives and ministry. As Craig and I have been deeply grounded in God’s word, we’ve also been deeply cared for—particularly by my year group and College faculty and staff. Our daughter Annabel, who is 1 and a bit, is very much an honorary member of my year group, and she loves a good chat with the lecturers! Sometimes her raspberry blowing could be timed a little better, though for comedic effect it’s always spot on. Her time at Moore now will hopefully stand her in good stead, as she hears the good news of Jesus each day from us and from her friends and lecturers at College. And we pray in years to come she might move into Campbell Street to study at Moore too. As we approach finishing our time at Moore, we hope to work with university students, proclaiming Christ to them either in Australia or overseas.
