This section covers the years from coming to a very tentative faith while at high school, through to being established in faith at University through the ministry of the Navigators.  It finishes as I am about to set off to America to work as an engineer in El Paso Texas.


For those who are curious.  I was born in Johannesburg South Africa.  At age 2 my family moved to South Wales and I lived near Cardiff.  Then when I was 8 my family moved to London, and I began to go to boarding school.  The place I came to faith was Bloxham School in Oxfordshire.


The photos - my family in London. I am on the left.  Confirmation shortly after becoming a Christian. Canoeing in the sea with school. On my scooter at home. John who was instrumental in establishing me in faith. An party with the Navigators in Edinburgh. With friends at a discipleship conference in Scotland.
