  • Author, actress and model guest speaker at Melbourne school

    Former Press Services International writer, now author, actress, and model, Charlotte (Charlie) Goiris (Cox), was a guest at Melbourne’s Waverley Christian College “Book Week.”

  • The corruption of sport

    Children play with toys for fun. Adults do the same, but the difference is in the size and cost of their toys. With the increased cost comes increased expectations and levels of complexity.

  • The next generation 

    The next generation of Christian writers was acknowledged at the Press Services International “2019 annual young writer's” conference held last Saturday at the Craigieburn Salvation Army.

  • Sporting success: We believe what we want to believe

    I love my GPS sport’s watch. Like your phone or car GPS it can record your journey. So when I started my open water swim in the local lake I was interested in what my watch would tell me about my current training program. As I swum through 1500m I took a glance with astonishment!

  • God speaks

    God speaks supremely through the Bible. However, using the Bible as the foundation, God can also speak through self-reflection as we align our experiences against Scripture. This article aims to challenge you to reflect on your own walk with God. I want you to wrestle with the question of, “How can I make Jesus part of every aspect of my life?”

  • Cairns Ironman Triathlon

    Voted the world’s best Ironman Triathlon, the Carins Ironman Triathlon also doubles as the Asia-Pacific Championships.

  • How to intentionally follow Jesus

    Over 40% of the Australian population say they are Christian, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Of this, only 15% are “church goers,” if you classify going to church once a month as regular. And 7% are “extremely involved” meaning attend almost weekly. Yes, I know that attending church is not a great litmus test for someone’s faith. However, how do we challenge ourselves to examine if we are following Christ the way He desires?

  • Intentionally wrestling with God

    Sport provides the perfect vehicle to challenge yourself. From motivational goals such as losing weight or chasing an Olympic Gold Medal, sport tests our capabilities and perseverance. Eric Liddell, missionary and Olympic medallist from“Chariots of Fire”, spoke of the way striving in sport reflected his walk with God.

  • The opposite of faith

    At a recent Casey Prayer Breakfast in Melbourne’s south-east, World Vision’s Tim Costello explored this question through the lens of the recent NZ shooting. Doubt, according to Costello, is not an opposite but a “Siamese twin” of faith. Doubt wrestles with the same substance of faith exploring ways to grow through this journey. The Psalms, Costello pointed out, are full of “doubt” about how God is working in difficult situations.

  • Challenge Melbourne

    One of Melbourne’s most iconic sites will again host one of the year’s biggest triathlons in April.
