God has done only great in the bands this year. We've pushed into deeper levels of

Alexander Foreman
To Jared, it was so
much fun to have you
on Drums! You always
had a song to sing and
I'm convinced you
know the words and
tunes of every song
ever written! You're
also a fabulous
drummer!
To Emily, having you
on Bass Guitar was so
great. You play so
capably and have
such a hunger for the
presence of God.
What a blessing you
are Emily.
To Matthew, this year
saw you being the
lead guitarist in our
band. You excelled,
Matt, and what a
perfectly pitched ear
you have.
To Dale, how lovely it
is to have you playing
piano! Your heart of
worship and service is
really beautiful.
To Kylie, thankyou for
filling in at different
times. You’re such a
blessing!
Many thanks to each
of you, for your
diligence, faithfulness,
talent and dedication.

Years of being an audiblox tutor: 8 Years
Why you do what you do? - I love teaching, mentoring
and empowering children and teenagers to be all that
they can be.
Your passion: My passion is working with children and
youth and building strong relationship within their
families/school environment.
Hobbies: gardening, creative craft, entertaining
/decorating
Testimony - It’s been incredibly exciting in Audiblox
watching the parents of my students rise to empower
and encourage their own children whilst also making
huge improvements in their own learning. One parent
had initially enrolled her teenage children with the aim
of improving their working memory skills and school
results but soon realised she could also benefit from
the program.
That parent is now embarking on a new career path and
finding the whole process of studying as a mature
student gratifying as she can now process, retain and
recall information more easily. She has already booked
her family sessions to attend Audiblox in 2013.

Our Vision, Mission & Values Statements
Our Vision and Mission Statement below, can be fleshed out by
imagining the future in the fulfilment of the
‘Words’ and directions given to us.
We see many churches around the world that exist because we lived.
We see many churches around the world with ministries trained here.
We see generations of ministers touching our nation and beyond.
We see a retraining centre on Coorong Avenue for our nation.
We see a potential school on Calder Highway for our region’s kids.
We see a greater worship and community complex on Ilex Street for
the spiritual vitality of our town for generations to come.
We see partners establishing community ministries for times of need
We therefore see 1000’s and 1000’s of people saved at home and
abroad because we did valiantly, by Grace, what was put before us.
We do not know how all these things will be, but with Abraham
We call those things which are not as though they were.
So Let God be Glorified
Pr Bruce
