I was a student minister with Two Ways Ministries from 2021–22. I now live in Brisbane and serve on campus at QUT as an AFES staff worker with FOCUS.
During the week I open God’s word with international students to encourage and equip them to serve Jesus with their whole lives, wherever they may be.
Give thanks for the students and the relationships built in the group! Please ask God to continue to bring many international students at QUT to know and love him, and for wisdom for me in loving and leading them.

The Martins are now serving the Lord in Tamworth, I’m an assistant minister at St Peter’s Anglican Church as well as working for City Bible Forum to reach the workers of Tamworth with the gospel.

Edmund Leung
Hi, I’m Ed! I was a student minister with Two Ways Ministries in 2021-2022. I am now currently an AFES staff worker at RMIT University, Melbourne.
At RMIT Christian Union, I focus on ministering students in the STEM Faculty and FOCUS (International) Faculty through weekly gatherings, bible studies and one-to-one meetings. I also teach Learn the Gospel (Two Ways to Live) at training groups and plan to start up an Evangelism team.
Please pray for people in positions of authority to govern Melbourne fearfully under God, for the Lord of Harvest raise up more gospel workers in Melbourne (Matt 9:38), and for Christians in Melbourne to have gospel conversations full of grace and seasoned with salt (Col 4:6).
Olivea Fong

Martin and I are both currently studying part-time at Christ College as he completes his candidature for ordination with the Presbyterian Church.

Ben and Katrina
I’m Ben and I served with Two Ways Ministries in 2020-2021. I’m now serving at Northmead Anglican Church where we seek to grow people passionate for Christ. Alongside my wife Kat and son Harry, we’re excited to partner together with the saints in Northmead to keep thinking about what it means to live bold, single minded lives for Jesus.
Would you please pray for us that God would use us -weak clay pots- to spread the aroma of his son to many in our neighbourhood, and that in his mercy he would call many out of darkness and into his marvellous light.
Ling and Luke
Hi, I’m Ling married to Luke, who is an assistant minister at St Thomas’ North Sydney. I was a with TWM in 2020. 2021 was a big year, settling into newly married life and ministry. I’m so thankful for opportunities to teach the Word in Bible study and SRE at two high schools.
Please pray for our marriage, for us to keep establishing our identity in Christ and to serve God and others. Pray also for God’s help in leading and discipling women, for perseverance in teaching SRE and in all things, for me to grow in dependence on God whose reign is over all.
Monique
Hi! I’m Monique, and I was a Two Ways Ministries student minister in 2020. I’m now serving as the women’s and outreach pastor at One Family Church in Granville. It has been a joy to serve in this role and see God giving growth to his people and growing his kingdom.
Please pray as I serve, focusing on women’s ministry and outreach at church. As I read the Bible with women and train church members in evangelism, please pray that God would use his word to change hearts and bring many from the various different cultures in Granville to know our Lord Jesus.
Simon and Fiona
Hi, I’m Simon, married to Fiona. Our toddler and twin girls make life very busy but also very fun! I served with Two Ways Ministries 2019-2020. I’m now serving as an AFES staff worker alongside the students at ACU North Sydney.
Please pray for this young growing Christian group – that students would be keen to meet together and learn from God’s word through Growth Groups, Common Hour and Prayer Meeting. Pray that students would find ways to love one another.
Kevin and Mathea
Hi, I’m Kevin and I served with Two Ways Ministries 2019-2020. My wife Mathea now live in Canberra and are serving with the Christian group at the ANU. It has been a joy seeing students stand out as Christians and speak about Jesus to their peers.
Pray for our mission each year where we are invite students to come to the Mark Drama. Also pray for a number of students who have missed building good relationships because of lockdown or isolation.
Marlee
Hi, I’m Marlee, I was a student minister with TWM in 2018-19.
Our staff team partners with students in the AFES group at Wollongong Uni, together “proclaiming Christ to present everyone mature in Him”. One of my great joys in ministry is training female apprentices and senior students in godliness, evangelism and faithful opportunistic discipling of others. I love teaching the Bible (all the while being taught by it!) and helping unbelievers grapple with the good news that Jesus is saviour and Lord.
Please pray for God to keep bringing gospel growth that sees students sent to the nations with this news.
Jireh and Celia
Hello! I’m Jireh, married to Celia. I am so thankful to God that I was able to serve with TWM in 2018-2019. As Pastoral Assistant at Captivate Presbyterian Church, I spend most of my time equipping our congregation to become more like Christ in all of life. As modelled by Phillip and seen every week at Two Ways Ministries, it really is about prayerfully proclaiming the Gospel to people with love.
Please pray that Celia and I will continue doing so at home and at Captivate.
Dan and Shan
Hi, i’m Dan, married to Shan with 4 kids, Zeke, Jed, Abi and Mori. I served with TWM in 2018-19 before joining Engadine Anglican Church as youth minister. My week is filled with encouraging, training and equipping our youth leaders to equip our youth to join in sharing the news of Jesus.
Please thank God that the gospel can’t be locked down and ask that we’d be creative in telling others about God’s gift of Jesus. Please also pray that our four kids would grow up knowing, loving and serving our Lord Jesus Christ.
Paul and Bron
Hi I’m Paul (or Coops). I was a student minister with TWM in 2018-19. Bron and I now are at Trinity Church Modbury (in Adelaide). I’m the associate pastor looking after youth, young adults, mission and membership. Bron is active in ministering to the women in our congregation plus keeping our family afloat! We are so thankful to Phillip, Helen, Wendy and Sophie for our time with them.
Both Bronwen and I love learning how to apply everything we were taught and saw at TWM now we are in ministry full-time … and how valuable our time with TWM was.
Please pray for our family as we continue to grow in ministry together, for resilience and patience and most all, for us to continue to grow in our love and knowledge of Jesus as we serve.
Josh and Nikki
Hi, I’m Josh. I was with TWM for a fantastic two years (2018-9). I’m now a minister at SNAC at Bexley North. This picture is my wife Nikki and our ticklish toddler, Charlie, and a bubbly baby, Archie.
My week is filled with thinking about how to encourage the Christians in my congregations and remind them of our unity in Christ and remind them to look to the indwelling Spirit who has never been closer and never been of more comfort. I’m still trying to imitate the apostle Paul!
Lockdown reminded me that the work of ministering to each other never goes on pause, and is never any less needed. I’ve never felt more privileged to be reminding people that to live is Christ and to die is gain!
Peter and Jodie
I (Peter) had the privilege of training with Phillip in 2017- 2018. I currently serve as the assistant minister of All Saints’ Belfast and UniChurch Belfast, Northern Ireland. Alongside weekly preaching, I lead the training of our ministry apprentice team, teach PTC to congregation members, and lead one to one Bible studies with men from our congregations. Jodie led our children’s ministry from 2020-2022, and continues to disciple young women from both congregations. I’m so grateful for all Phillip taught us.
Please pray for our congregations in Belfast, as we seek to evangelise the lost, equip the saints, and raise up a new generation of gospel workers.
Susan
Hi, I’m Susan and I served with Two Ways Ministries as a student minister in 2018. After that, I took on a part-time role as Legal Counsel at Sydney Diocesan Services, the services arm of the Anglican Church Diocese of Sydney. I have also returned to my home church, St Barnabas Anglican Fairfield and Bossley Park as the part-time Women’s and Children’s Minister. It’s my first year juggling both, and I have discovered that working two part-time jobs is not the same as working one full-time job!
Please pray for South-West Sydney as it continues its battle against COVID-19 and for our church as we seek to reach our local area with the good news of Jesus in this challenging season.
Lucy and Andrew
I’m Lucy married to Andrew. I served with TWM 2017-2018. I’m now part of the staff team at Auburn Newington Anglican Churches, whilst Andrew has started a ministry traineeship at UNSW CBS. We love partnering with our church family to share Christ with those we meet in our part of multi-ethnic Sydney, especially where we live in Wentworth Point. In God’s kindness, despite the lockdowns in 2021, we were able to start new ministries of playgroup and English classes to meet and share Jesus with those in this new suburb. God gave us many opportunities through kids talks, bible class and hospitality in our home to share Jesus with new migrants.
Pray that God might provide a place for a new church plant in Wentworth Point with currently 18,000 residents, growing and without a church meeting yet! Please also pray for us as Andrew does his traineeship at CBS that we’d grow in our love for Jesus and joy in serving him together!
Chris and Tom
I’m Chris, married to Thom and I finished up with TWM in 2017. I went on to teach SRE at a high school in south west Sydney, while also working part time for the public service. Currently, I am a full-time mum and I spend a not insignificant amount of time on swings or around swingsets. I serve our local church in Fairfield wherever there is a need.
Please pray for the area of South-West Sydney and for the gospel to go out and for the church to be equipped to serve our community in various ways.
John and Ailsa
Hi I’m John. I was a student minister with TWM in 2017. Ailsa and I are now serving the Lord Jesus in Sevenoaks, Kent. Last year I was appointed Congregational Pastor for the offsite congregation of St Nicholas Church and am now responsible for the teaching and leading that congregation as well as equipping the rest of the Parish in evangelism.
Thank the Lord for regathering congregations after 18 months of lockdowns. Pray that Ailsa and I would teach and model Christ so that the church would grow in maturity and number. Please also pray that the Lord would open a door widely for the gospel to the 60K people of Sevenoak’s region.
Talar
Hi! I’m Talar. I was a TWM student minister in 2017. I’m now the children’s and families’ minister at Naremburn and Cammeray Anglican Church.
Our church has recently been challenged again to look to the glorious Jesus Christ who establishes life and gifts it to us. “Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him” John 3:36 (familiar to many of us who have learned TWTL)
Please pray that God would open the eyes of the blind, so that they would see the glory of Jesus and know the life he offers.
Candy and Lachlan
I am Candy married to Lachlan and a student minister with Two Ways Ministries in 2015–2017. After 3 years serving in church and student ministry in New Zealand, I am now the women’s minister at St Paul’s Anglican, Carlingford. My week to week involves sharing God’s word with those at St Paul’s and seeing them grow to know and love Jesus.
Please pray for us, this summer we are seeking to run a kids camp for 200 kids! pray God will bring many children and families to a saving knowledge of Jesus.
Greg and Aileen
I’m Greg and I’m married to Aileen and we have two kids, Zach and Adele. I served with TWM in 2017 whilst finishing College. After graduating we moved to our hometown Melbourne. Since being here I’ve been ordained in the Anglican Diocese of Melbourne. I’m now the senior minister at All Saints Anglican in Mitcham.
Please pray All Saints may be revitalised, and for God to give us wisdom as we love the people and point them to the Lord Jesus through faithful Biblical teaching. May he also bring people from death to life as we proclaim his glorious gospel to the community!
Tim and Hollie
Hi, I’m Tim, and I had the joy of doing student ministry with Two Ways Ministries during my final year of Moore College in 2017. Since my time with TWM, life’s changed more than a little – my wife Hollie and I have two children, and I serve as the assistant minister at St John’s Anglican, in Asquith, where I spend my weeks across a pretty diverse spread of ministries.
In 2021 our church celebrated its 100th year, which speaks to God’s kindness, but please pray, given the length of our history, that as a church we will continue to take bold steps in serving our great God, and build on the efforts of those who have laboured before us.
