Father Dave is funny, compassionate and shares his lived experiences with dignity. He speaks to large groups but everyone leaves thinking they have had a one on one conversation with the bloke they call The Fighting Father.
If you are looking to inspire, motivate or simply pause and rethink priorities ask Father Dave to talk at your event. I have, and we are still buzzing because of it.

The Southport School (TSS)
TSS is an all-Boys Anglican Boarding and Day school situated on the Gold Coast in Queensland. We have about 900 boys in the senior School (yrs 7-12). Fr Dave visited TSS at my invitation in August 2015 for 3 days.
He spoke to the senior staff at a formal dinner, then each of the four Chapels we have each week that cover all 12 Houses including all boys across the School. He also addressed all Yr11 boys together and the all Year 12 Boys over 4 sessions.
His blend of physical interaction, allowing a few yr11 and yr12 boys to have a couple of short rounds with him, and his work and knowledge of boys on the street in his local community, his wit and good humour, and his knowledge of Syria and the issues there, plus his biblical, theological and Philosophical knowledge all combined meant that he could relate well with boys and the staff extremely well. His message on “Fight the Good Fight” compliment all that we had been covering under the same topic for our Chapel themes for the term. While not every boy will respond to his approach his message will and can challenge all males at whatever age.
If Fr Dave Lived closer I would plan to have him visit more than once in a year.
