Unplug to connect

To help everyone fully engage, we ask that during Connect phones either be left at home or handed in at arrival.

Guests can access their phone at designated times during the week, and we always have a phone available to call home or if parents need to get in touch.

Most young people don’t miss their phones, they’re too busy having fun and making friends.

More about Andrew

My name is Andrew, I was born in The Netherlands, with a Dutch mum and a Kiwi father, but spent all my formative years in southern Spain and northern Africa where my family served 
as missionaries. I have been married for 16 years, and have two teenage sons. I love rugby, Star Wars Lego, anything with melted cheese on it and travelling. 

I have had the privilege of travelling extensively, trying many different jobs and discovering what life in all its fulness looks like. In the midst of my last 40 years of adventures, this quote 
rings true: “To fall in love with God is the greatest romance. To seek Him the greatest adventure. To find Him the single greatest achievement.” St Augustine 

Everywhere I have travelled, every job I have done, has always been an opportunity to meet with God in a new and deeper way. It has shown me the importance of seeing people how God does and to be willing to be used by Him no matter the circumstances I am in. 

Life is hard, there are many challenges, and sometimes joy and hope are very fragile. Confusion about what life in all its fulness looks like leaves many feeling alone. I believe the Bible has solutions, I love finding the heart behind Bible passages and making that accessible to young people in a way that brings change.
