Into the Wilderness

Father Hugh Isaacs joins us this Sunday. Although he’s not officially on staff until March, next Sunday, to my reckoning, marks the beginning of the […]

Boxers for Peace chalk up another success in Syria!

Hi Fighter, I’m currently in New Delhi, slowly making my way back home after completing our latest ‘Boxers for Peace’ mission in Syria. Unfortunately, in order to get the cheapest tickets, I had to opt for a 12 hour wait between flights in Dubai and a seven-hour wait here.  Even so, nothing can dampen my

Hi Fighter, our ‘Prayers for Syria’ service and farewell BBQ Father Dave here, speaking to you from sunny Tehran, and despite what you might have heard, it is a beautiful city and seems to be filled with gracious and hospitable people! I don’t know if you’ve seen the latest historical movie drama – 300 II

Weekly Missive – July 2nd, 2013

G’day Fighter, Father Dave back with you – a little weary but strong in spirit.  I seem to have been spending all my time travelling and speaking since last we spoke. I spoke to a Lions Club gathering, hoping to raise more funds for our youth work. I spoke to at a gathing of the

Monday Missive – February 11th, 2013

Hi Fighter, Yes, it’s Father Dave, and I’m still here! I’m still here in Sydney that is! I was supposed to be in Damascus today and I had anticipated filling today’s missive with pics of Damascus and Beirut. It was not to be! In case you missed my announcement on Friday, our Peace Mission to

Monday Missive – November 19th, 2012

Hi Fighter! It’s hard to believe that it’s been less than a week since the latest assault by the IDF on Gaza. There has been so much death and destruction in the last few days! I’m afraid that it’s going to be difficult for me to talk about much else in my missive this week.

Father Dave’s Monday Missive – July 16th, 2012

Hi Fighter, It’s Dave again. I’m just back from my Monday-night run and thought it was time to pen you a quick missive. I ran by myself again this week, which was a bit lonely, but I appreciate that it’s miserable running weather in Sydney this time of year, especially if you’re struggling with a
