Supported by a firm religious faith, we can all grow and flourish through a lifetime. This brief presentation shows how the faith in Jesus Christ I inherited from my parents and their ancestors, helped my family to grow and flourish in Australia. The tapestry in the second slide was sewn by my father in the last weeks of his life, to pass on his Christian faith. One woman's Gospel experience.
