Stromlo Christian Church | Trainer: Paul Avis

Saved by grace.

For the last two and a half years I have been working as a paediatric occupational therapist—supporting children and their families with loving care, genuine presence, and hope to support their developmental, sensory, social, and motor challenges. However, I’m convinced that Jesus Christ is worth following with all that I have, so have been challenged by God to consider full-time gospel work.

I’m very excited to be starting an MTS apprenticeship at Stromlo Christian Church, Canberra in 2026-27, and would love to invite you to partner with me—prayerfully and/or financially—as I am trained, equipped, and discipled in service of God. Your partnership means I can be devoted fully to ministry training over the next two years so that more people might hear and respond to the good news of Jesus.

“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms …they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power For ever and ever!” – 1 Peter 4:10-11
