Hunter Bible Church | Trainer: David Robertson

Hi I’m Josh (or Davo)

I am incredibly grateful to have the opportunity to embark on the journey of MTS and grow in my Character and competency over the next two years. I believe that Jesus is the centre of all things and that all things were made for Him, to bring Him glory, honour and praise. I look forward to spending my time thinking about how I can use my life to bring God glory and how I can help others to do this as well. I look forward to opening the Bible with loads of people especially around Newcastle Uni where I will be spending a great deal of my time.

I am excited to see God working in all situations. I am excited to grow new relationships with people. I am excited to bring the word of God to people who don’t yet know Him. All the while, knowing that I will make mistakes along the way, I am excited to be grown through a tough and testing two years where I will tackle the challenge in Romans 12:

‘Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God – this is your true and proper worship’ Romans 12:1

I look forward to the opportunities to continue this after MTS. I’m not 100% sure of how I want to serve God after MTS, but I am hoping to find some clarity along the way.

I want to extend a colossal thank you to anyone who is willing to support me along the way through prayer, finances, encouragement and training. I thank God for you all. If you are interested in supporting me please click on that button.

Prayer Points

• Please pray for my cohort of MTSers that I will be training alongside, that they would also grow in character and competency too, and that they would be able to glorify God in their ministries as well
• Please pray for the massive changes going on at HBC over the course of my MTS. Planting two new church buildings and moving 3 large congregations into those new properties.
