Welcome to my blog! This is the place where I get to introduce you to some of the amazing people who are part of the Rosebank Union Church family.

Soon after we arrived at Rosebank in September 2004 and started getting to know people, we began to be inspired by who they were and what they were doing. Within months I started a file which I called “Rosebank’s Amazing People.” That file steadily grew as I got to know more and more people.

Through this blog I want to introduce you to people who inspire and challenge me. They are ordinary people who have stretched themselves to do the extraordinary. They are people who have seen a need and rearranged their lives so that they could fill that need. They are people who love South Africa with all his challenges and complexities and are determined to make a difference to this country and her people.

The movie “Australia” ends with a quote by the young boy who plays one of the leading roles. His quote sums up why this blog exists. “One thing I know. Stories are important because that’s how you keep people belonging.”

I’ve met many fascinating people at Rosebank. But I certainly haven’t met them all. To keep this blog going, I need your help. Tell me who inspires you. Who have you met who has a story to tell. Let’s discover together the people who make our church what it is.
