Monday Missive

Christmas is almost upon us!

Hi Fighter, Father Dave here, and I’m starting this missive from sunny Binacrombi Bush Camp where we are about to ‘re-ignite’ things. No, we’re not about to start a bush fire but we have been closed for the last few weeks while we’ve been upgrading the water system and the power system, repairing the tracks […]

Compass!

G’day Fighter, As you might guess from the title and from the slide-show tribute above, the ‘Fighting Father Dave’ Compass episode is now online. Indeed, it’s embedded a few lines below! 🙂 This should please many of our non-Australian Fighting Fathers who couldn’t view the show when it aired on ABC TV two Sundays back,

An appeal from Father Dave

Hi Fighter, I’m actually going to make two appeals to you today. The first is a simple one: please watch this Sunday night’s edition of “Compass” on ABC TV (Australia). Post by Compass. Mind you, I have not been given any special preview beyond this 30-second snippet so it is possible that this screening will cost

Christians and Muslims united for peace!

G’day Fighter, I am writing to you today primarily to ask for your help in sharing my ‘STOP THE WAR’ video appeal with the rest of the world. I’ve also though had a couple of dramatic weeks since we last communicated and I must share some of the highlights with you too. I mentioned in

Stop the War!

Hi Fighter, Shalom! Salam! Peace! It’s what we’re all yearning for at the moment as the world’s remaining super-power plunges us all into another major war! Will this turn out to be the third world war? Will this be earth’s final war? Will the Lord return before this one is done? All these questions come to mind, and

Rallying for Gaza

Hi Fighter, My apologies for the long break between communications but I’ve spent most of the last week sick in bed! As ever, I’ve been burning the candle at both ends – running fitness camps and addressing rallies in addition to the usual routine. Even so, I think it was the emotional strain of watching

Greetings from New Zealand!

Hi Fighter, It’s Father Dave and I’m writing to you from sunny New Zealand! You wouldn’t think it would be sunny here this time of year as we’re in the middle of winter but we’ve been enjoying some beautiful weather! 🙂 My primary reason for being here was because Soren (my son) was competing in

Boxing in the streets of Syria

OK Fighter, It’s been a long time in production but here it is – the video that I’ve been yearning to share with you since returning from our peace mission, entitled “Boxing in the Streets of Syria” As you can see from above, Fighting Father Denning also took some wonderful still shots of the action

Out of the Ashes – a New Youth and Community Centre!

Hi Fighter, I had been planning on sending you another piece on Syria. I still have much to debrief from our recent peace pilgrimage, including some rather amazing pics and video material. Even so,  I couldn’t resist updating you on the fact that our local Council approved our Development Application on Tuesday night for the

Peace Pilgrimage to Syria – peace work in Iran

Hi Fighter, Once again it’s been too long since I’ve posted. 🙁 I’m back in Oz now, well ensconced with my family. Even so, a large part of my heart remains in Syria. So many memories and images continue to turn over in my mind. Not all of them are good but all are full of
