Faith & Service Captain

As Faith and Service Captain, my biggest achievement was introducing Youth Alpha to Redeemer. Alpha is a program that creates a small group space for anybody to learn more, ask questions and enjoy some good chats about God, life and purpose. Each week, we had about seven people come to watch the videos, discuss questions and, hopefully, grow more in their relationship with God. Throughout this time, I was not only lucky enough to witness other people learning about God, but I also learnt more myself. Sharing perspectives and understanding how other people see the world, helped open my eyes and view things in a new way.

Participating in Junior School Chapel has been another highlight of my year. I was fortunate enough to work with class 2KO on their Chapel presentation in Term 2, and being able to participate in the excitement and joy of Junior School inspired me to take that same attitude into my days and share it with those around me. A key element of service within the wider Redeemer community is through the Helping Hands van. Making sandwiches, completing runs and listening to stories about how these interactions shine a light into people’s days, proved to me that one person can make an impact to others.

I want to include a bible verse that was used as a prayer for my leadership that I hope can help or inspire others.

It has been an honour to serve in this role, and I wish future Captains the best of luck.
