Growing Families Australia - from the National Directors

For everything there is a time....

On July 1st, 2007 Growing Families Australia will commence distribution from South Australia – all business transactions will be actioned from there. For the past 3 days Andy and Robyn Hamdorf, the new business administrators, have been in Perth continuing the process of handover. They have spent hours with Ann, Bill and Joan “learning the ropes”. It is hard to realise that the time has arrived, but we are delighted to hand the baton on to Andy and Robyn and their family – they will be ministering together.

Andy and Robyn were present in 1996 when Gary and Anne Marie Ezzo held their first meeting in Adelaide at the invitation of Les Crawford. They have raised their 3 children, Annika 15yrs, Corinne 12yrs and Ethan 9yrs using the firm biblical principles that GFI programs support. They have been abundantly blessed by the Ezzo's ministry and now believe it a privilege to give back to the ministry for all that they have received.

Andy and Robyn are in the process of renovating their house to accommodate GFA – the work is far behind schedule, so they need all the support and prayer we can give to assist them through these next few months as the building is completed and they start distribution of the materials. If you live in S.A. and have a little time to spare, Andy and Robyn would be delighted to hear from you – just a meal, your trade skills and tools, muscles, empty trailer would be very much appreciated to help move the process along!



Personal note from Bill & Joan....

We want to thank everyone for your support and encouragement over these 11 years that the GFA office has been located in Perth. We especially want to honour the very faithful, efficient, warm and cheery Ann Jefferies and our very efficient, longsuffering graphics/website man, Max! Together Max and Ann have been a fantastic support – without them the ministry would have been really held back. Max will continue for some time operating the website.

The best blessing for us of these years has been watching God at work in your families – what a special privilege this has been to be in relationship with families who are diligently raising their children “for the glory of God”.

We will be continuing as the National Directors. Our desire is to be able to spend more time “on the road”. You can keep in touch with us through our mobiles, (Bill) 0438 044 155 (Joan) 0419 044 155 and when home on 08 9448 0027; or email us at national.directors@gfi.org.au ; and also through the consistent newsletters that Robyn has a keen desire and skill to produce.

As Growing Families Australia reaches another milestone, we give much thanks to God for the past, we live expectantly in the present and plan, in God’s good way, for the future that He will raise families that will bring honour to His Name, from generation to generation.

Anticipating a very blessed future,

    Bill and Joan
