Past Student Ministers

  • 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 & 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 & 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 & 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 & 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 & 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 & 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 & 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 & 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.

    John & Ailsa
