Faith! Christian Church Moving Forward
Sometimes, there's a special blessing to be found in visiting the significant places of one's youth.
On a very brief visit to Melbourne, Australia recently, Mal Fletcher spoke at Faith! Christian Church, which was the church of his boyhood - and where he commenced his work as a Christian minister more than 25 years ago.
The church operated under a different name back then and met in a much smaller building, but Mal recalled the time when he first made a commitment to Christ in a Sunday evening service.
On this visit, Mal and Davina's first for more than fifteen years, the church honoured them with a very warm welcome and a great hunger for the message Mal brought - on engagement with the future.
After the two morning services, Mal said: 'It was good to spend time with our friend Pastor Alun Davies again. His friendship has been an encouragement to me, especially so in the years surrounding our initial move to Europe back in the mid 90s.'
'It was also good to invest back into the spiritual house from which we came. My first ever sermon in church was preached in this congregation when I was 19 years old.'
'I spoke to around 80 people back then, but it felt to me like 800! Of course, the church has grown a lot since then - it has multiple campuses across the eastern region of Melbourne.'

Mal, I heard you speak at Hillsong London. It was awesome! I was saved on this very day last year and have been on fire for the Lord ever since. God bless

Your book on The Pioneer Spirit contains great truth and inspiration. It gives great practical advice about how to use or develop a pioneer spirit and get the vision into a reality. I believe everything you’ve written is worth reading and passing on to others.
