Welcome David...
We have a new member, David Horne, and I'll let him introduce himself (if he's inclined) - but I just want to mention that he is a very special person to us, and to about a thousand kids, because he's the "chaplain" (Christian counsellor) at our local gov't secondary school, St Helena Secondary College.
I know how significant David's ministry already is at the college, and it's only begun! But in a nutshell, kids face all sorts of crises through their teen years, and David is there to lend a sympathetic ear, provide sound advice, and basically to care for them (in a totally confidential way, because chaplains have none of the mandatory reporting requirements that all other teachers have - so kids can talk to David knowing it will go no further).
We heard of one chaplain, who his local community said of him "he always preached the gospel - and on occasions used words" (the example of someone like David around the school can speak loudly to kids, many of whom will never have set foot near a church, ever).
David, we look forward to you posting and sharing your inspiration with us!
