Jared Haschek
Hi everyone, sorry we couldn’t be a part of the chat-fest last night, we have a Compliments of Gus rehearsal. Nearly 14 years ago at Monash Clayton SFC Justin Gall, Rebecca Haschek (nee Gregson) and myself started Compliments of Gus, and we’re still playing together! Many albums and hundreds of gigs later, it all started doing praise and worship at SFC. Such wonderful memories – can’t help but think that we took it a bit for granted at the time! Bec and I have 3 kids now and live in Diamond Creek.
Cameron Bettenay
Sincere thanks to Jeff Williams our fearless State Leader, truly SFC Hall of Fame!
Felicia Lau
2000-2001 Melb Uni
Cameron Bettenay
I remember meeting Paul Zarb in a game of RISK in the ’89 National Conference. World domination a.k.a. evangelism through missions.
Milton Gillie
Anne & I were married Nov 1984, the first SFC marriage in VIC. Anyone in another state beat us?
Cameron Bettenay
By the way, we just started Youth Alive in the state of Mecklenburg Vorpommen in Germany’s North-East! Glory to God!
Kelly Horne
I was at Carseldine BCAE in ’88 then Griffith Uni ’89-93. Great SFC memories!
Kevin Welch
Hey warren remember ‘bash a christian’ at TAS Uni?
Julie Robinson
Hi all. Mark here. Great to connect with everyone. Great memories of many great people… Warren Searles, Paul Zarb, Jeff Williams, John Shand… and JCU pople.
Paul Jurjens
Hi, thought I’d drop in on your party, Mech. Eng at UNSW in early 80’s, loved what SFC was to many there. Remember movie, “Silent Scream”, camp at Blue Mountains, visits from Tim Hall & Gordon Gibbs. Inter-Uni activities & bold witnessing. As for me, dropped out of Uni, 25 years later Pastoring & piano tuning. Living in Casino, NSW.
Julie Robinson
I remember John Shand came and stayed at our place, just days before his departure to heaven… and he took our SFC camp at Magnetic Island. I still have the notes somewhere from that camp. Just couldn’t part with them. I remember getting up during the night, about 3am and his light was still on, and he was still seeking God…
Georgina Coombs
One very funny memory from a Monash Clayton leaders’ camp – praying for the leaders, one by one, in the centre of a circle. Many were being slain in the spirit. Warren Searles was there and we were praying for the wonderful Dayan Ramalingam, but instead of Dayan going down, Warren was collapsing as he laid hands on Dayan!
Garry Austin
I really miss seeing the uni plastered with the name of Jesus. These days it is hard to find publicity evidence of a Christian club on campus. Great is the company of those who publish his word!
Garry Austin
I remember we got a large crowd turn up to hear Tim Hall but only after crazy days of very active publicising. Once the people came, God moved by His Spirit and people were healed.
Valerie Dawn
That is true Garry – same at unis here… not sure there is much of a Christian influence…
Garry Austin
I think they need to be reminded of what is possible! We were blessed with leaders who taught us about the past campus revivals. I remember Warren and Michael Fackerall taking me out onto Macquarie and Sydney universities to see how it was done. And the great training we had at SFC State meetings at Glad Tidings in Brisbane.
Garry Austin
Whatever has been done will be done again. What ever has been will be again!
Valerie Dawn
Yep – just have one of my guys the old stories to read through J building a new generation!
Michael Fackerell
Yes, at least we got some messages out that way to the masses. That was fun!
Tania Chaplain
Hi, I went to QUT Kelvin Grove and was involved in SFC from 1992-1994 I went on a missions trip to Thailand in Jan 1995. I loved SFC, it was such a huge influence in my Christian walk as I was only a brand new Christian when I started Uni.
Oliver Nicholson
I think Thailand is the one other country that has benefitted the most from SFC missions trips.
Julie Robinson
We started a “Church on Campus” on Sunday nights for the students who couldn’t get to church. We had people come to Christ during those services, and I remember one rugby player who came in, sat up the back and later came and told us excitedly he’d been healed of a knee injury while in the meeting, listening to the sermon.
Keira Johnston
Thankyou to Daniel and Fiona Sanders for leading us with integrity, fueling our heart for God and people, teaching us the power of discipleship, preaching lifechanging sermons that I can still remember, believing in us, and giving your all for Jesus! Forever indebted to and inspired by you guys!
Jacqui Grey
Hi to all the SFCers – I was in Sydney Uni SFC from 92-94 then a campus worker & later campus director from 95-98… Some fantastic memories of Tom Sirotnak & the power team tearing up phone books and breaking handcuffs outside the Carslaw building with hundereds of students watching… I’m now Academic Dean at Alphacrucis College & continually meeting ex-SFCers… Love to all!
Georgina Coombs
SFC Monash was Singles Forming Couples for our extended family in the ‘90s! I was Lorraine Hick’s DG leader and Angela Coombs was in Lorraine’s first year DG – Angela later became my sister-in-law, after she married Clayton and I married Clayton’s older brother, Conrad Coombs. Clayton’s best friend at Monash Caulfield, Michael Alejandrino, then married Angela’s sister Rach Alejandrino!
Sarah Ardu
Memories: approaching random people in the cafeteria to talk to them about Jesus as a regular part of individual appointments with DG members
Phil Shand
First National conference – “Have you come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” – what an inspiring theme to launch SFC nationally
Keira Johnston
‘God kicking butt’ story: some clubs tried to disaffiliate us then got disaffiliated themselves :O)
Cameron Bettenay
I got my heart for missions in a prayer meeting in a small building in the Sydney University in 1989 before the National Conference at Stanwell Tops. My Wife and I are both current Ordained Ministers with the ACC. Thanks Warren and SFC you gave us the start that set the pace for the rest of our lives, and we have not let up yet! I was at Griffith Uni Mt Gravatt and Nathan Campus as the Leader from 1989-1991. it was the closest thing to revival I have ever seen. In our final year hundreds came to the Lord, and hundreds more were filled with the Holy Spirit. We even saw a building that was used for a witches coven sold, taken off campus and instead of it being used for evil purposes, was used as a meeting hall for a Christian youth camp! Shane Brigg, David Liou and Angus McCracken were a major part of the Campus movement. These guys went on to lead the State SFC. I am now a High School Teacher on the Sunshine Coast. Every year for the past 6 years I have been going to Germany preaching the word as an Evangelist. Hundreds have been saved. I have also ministered in Solomon Islands on several occasions and in PNG. Melissa and I have been youth Pastors for 12 years, Assistant Pastors, Men’s, Women’s and Worship Pastors.
Sharon Hickey Booysen
I was at RMIT 1987-1990, then went on staff in QLD until 1994 when I left for Africa. How I miss those SFC days – saved, filled with the Spirit, and called to missions through SFC. The conferences were always life changing, and such a laugh too.
Garry Austin
And I miss the prayer and fasting retreats at Mt Tambourine!
Denise Austin
Wasn’t that because we couldn’t afford to buy food?
Sally Turner
You know things come full circle, right?? I have just this year been asked to lead worship for prayer meetings on both Monash Uni and Melbourne Uni for current students!! Such a bizarre, and yet fitting thing to be involved in! The fire still burns on campus, believe me!!
Denise Austin
SFC short-term mission trips would have to be right up there in highlights too. What a privilege for Garry and I to take teams to Hong Kong and China – awesome times! Not to mention the incredible impact SFC has had through long term missionaries all over the world today. Every time a talk with an SFCer I can still see the same passion in their eyes for the people of the world – it’s in our DNA!
Glynis Quinlan
I was part of a short-term missions trip to Thailand in the early 90s, but I was in the workforce at the time. Most of the others in the team were either still students or had just finished their degrees. It was a great time where taught English and lived in at the centre. Met some wonderful people!
Phil Shand
Meeting my future wife at Melbourne Uni enrolments when Tracy filled out the SFC questionnaire was pretty awesome. Always loved outreach, enrolment, surveys, o’week, discipleship groups, weekly meetings, prayer o’camps, conferences, missions trips so many lives transformed over the years. The “power team” exploding water bottles in the north court of Melbourne Uni was a definite memory!
Susannah Taylor
One of my memories being in Thailand with you and Tracy and then hearing 8 years later that one of the guys who became a Christian during that time is now a pastor aiming to reach his nation.
Daniel Sanders
Greatest SFC Memories: Jesus March at Melbourne Uni in 1995 involving all Christian Clubs – North Court stood still when David Ray (the male soprano) began singing Amazing Grace, also overflowing the Copeland Theatre with Johnny Lee Clary. Favourite poster when Cam Butler (Melbourne FC Chaplain) came to speak and we promoted “hear the word of the Lord from the mouth of a demon”
Lindsay Barrass
Some of my fondest memories and dramatic Christian growth came through SFC. God so blessed that group!
Keira Johnston
Best conference workshop – ‘2020 Vision’ run by Ken Johnston and Elsie Loh. Awesome. Changed my life.
Kevin Welch
Hi guys, I remember Paul Zarb giving me a cuppa with a take cockroach in it, at SFC leaders conference. I am not sure if I have forgiven him yet. Probably need some prayer counselling.
Kevin Welch
I am a TAS Uni graduate and was on campus 1984 – 1988 and again 1995
Paul Zarb
Kev, I remember you speaking enthusiastically at a conference in Tas in the late 80’s.
Sharon G Yates
I remember early morning prayer meetings. The connections that were there were great. Quite a few of us live on campus and the time that we shared together, not necessarily formal meetings and the support was just awesome. It helped me get through my experiences.
Keira Johnston
Can’t recall attending a conference more powerful than the SFC State ones… Great worship, great speakers, great discussions, great prayer, great friends, great moves of God
Lindsay Barrass
I’m married with 2 kids and work in the Aviation industry (related to air traffic control). Still following Jesus!
Ken Johnston
I remember speaking at Monash when I was a campus minister at Melbourne Uni. I thought they would be grateful to hear the gospel of Melbourne but they got really offended.
Julie Robinson
So many favourite memories! Do you know I still have my SFC badge and over the years when I’ve found it, I’ve held it in my hand and prayed and thanked God for those days… sometimes I’ve even worn it for a day or so J I remember the time Warren came and preached for us at JCU. After the meeting in the games room… the Holy Spirit moved powerfully and we went outside the room after the meeting and led people to Christ who hadn’t been in the meeting. One chap named Lucian was walking back from the library after a night of studying, just walking past. He had his bike and a backpack on. The Holy Spirit moved upon him, he gave his life to Christ on the sport, and then went down under the power…. Still with his backpack on… that was a great moment!
Sharon G Yates
Since leaving Uni I’ve been working at ANZ. Currently at Reservoir branch. Am now living our in Wallan with husband Shaun, son Lee (9yrs) and daughter Denise (4yrs).
Daniel Chivell
Hi all. Great to read all the stories. Anyone here from RMIT? I was there 97-2001, and then on VIC State team for a few years after that.
Christop Booth
Also, remember having to brush my teeth with wasabi for 60 seconds, as a punishment for not wearing my name tag at VIC State conference. Also remember spitting it in David Waddell’s eyes afterwards…
Denise Austin
Hi everyone! I was at James Cook Uni SFC 1987-1989 – SFC camp 1987 Mark Robinson baptised me in water at Crystal Creek then Warren Searles prayed for me for the baptism in the Holy Spirit that night! How incredible that one day can change your whole life…
Lindsay Barrass
Hi all. Lindsay Barrass. RMIT Bundoora and LaTrobe Bundoora. 1989-92/3?
Sarah Ardu
Memories: Tim Hall “There is More” followed the next year by another outreach Tim Hall “There is Still More!”
Christop Booth
I remember dressing up as the Grim Reaper to walk around Ballarat campus, promoting our ‘What Happens When You Die?’ seminar! (not sure I’d do that again though!)
Glynis Quinlan
Hi all, my favourites memories include the SFC conferences such as ‘Have you come to the Kingdom for such a time as this’ (still remember that one!), the full on prayer meetings at Macquaire Uni and the fantastic Sydney Uni group I knew through my sister Tracie. I was awe-inspiring stuff that showed us the blessing of going all our for God.
Bradley John Watt
Hi there, I’m Bradley Watt – at Sydney Uni from 1983-1992 – still living in Sydney – working at IBM.
Ken Johnston
I grew up in Townsville – an army brat – but went to uni in Melbourne. I remember Mark Robinson sharing at a VIC State Conference about the JCU student union declaring ‘SFC’ as their official religion. It sounded like all the committee became Christians. It was inspiring for a younger me.
Julie Robinson
Hi Ken… I remember Mark was really tired one particular night… he went to share the gospel with the student union on the Teachers College side. The Holy Spirit moved. He came home energised and told me a number of them had received Christ, and he then had a new discipleship group… God was amazing.
Sally Turner
I was at Monash Clayton SFC 1998-2002. I was involved in worship most of that time, and was a campus worker in 2002. I now work part time in the Worship ministry at church, and part time as a Monash lecturer! I met so many great people at SFC! People who challenged me to really know Jesus – to press in and experience more of Him. A truly invaluable time for me.
Lucy Zarb
Hi all. Life since SFC has been busy with our 2 girls and various work and church commitments. I worked as an Integration Aide at Northside Christian College for 8 years until 2007, then in local kinders with special needs children and also now at Donvale Christian College (DCC). Rebecca (19) is training in Horticulture and Sharon (17) is in year 10 at DCC. We lead a Lifegroup at City Life Church. Manningham.
Keira Johnston
Best Mission trip: 7 girls headed to Halls Creek in the Kimberleys, survived the most dangerous town in Australia, cast out demons, heard testimonies of kids raised from the dead, and fell in love with the Aboriginal people!
Joseph Fok
Memory: DG, Weekly meeting, conference and the many hours chatting and prayiong at the USYD Chapel.

Another memory was the national conference when Warren did the phone link up when he did the skydiving
Bronwyn Kelleher
I was at RMIT 1991-1993 Bundoora
Oliver Nicholson
Memorable messages – Warren talking about using spiritual gifts in witnessing. Paul giving us the history of student ministry
Cathryn Turnbull
Amazingly God has me back at Melbourne Uni this year working exact same faculty I studied at when I came to Christ in 1993 through the wonderful ministry of SFC J
Grant Donnan
I remember Sarah Ardu coming into our lecture theatre 500+ math students in first year and Sarah quieted everyone to announce the Tim Hall rally, planted faith in me
Cathryn Turnbull
My memories are of Oliver and I dressing up as clowns and witnessing to students at the Union Building… and of course the angels and demon drama in the courtyard was awesome!
Daniel Sanders
I was thinking about that Angels and Demons skit the other day and about preaching after the skit in the open at Melbourne Uni. Pretty sure it was a good thing that I didn’t think about it and just did it…
Susannah Taylor
I remember the clowning
Susannah Taylor
I remember the Dave and Rosanna Palmer in the courtyard and our march for Jesus around the campus.
Susannah Taylor
Or going out with some people from OCF to witness an speaking with a girl from Thailand who wasn’t in the country for long.
Irene Shand-Len
The Great Creation Debate – Latrobe Uni, phenomenal worship at conferences, awesome leaders, Ros, Christine, Jenny – my first SFC DGers…
Milton Gillie
I remember Gary Parker speaking at Monash in the week of the great debate on evidence for creation. The first question he got was “Can you give us any evidence for creation?”
Maylin Wyndham
Yep I remember all my fellow biol. student friends coming to the debate. I though Gary Parker was amazing, my friends all throught Dr Bock was amazing! Will never forget the huge number of people who rocked up…. wot gorilla suit?????????????????
Susannah Taylor
Favourite memories… there are so many. 8am prayer meetings, camps, conferences with the Muppets theme plated early in the morning, mission trip to Thailand and much more

Keira Johnston
Memory: 8 am prayer meetings 3 days a week. Man we were hardcore!
Ken Johnston
Was that at Monash? At Melbourne we had 5am prayer meetings 8 times a week. That was before we got hardcore.
Sharon G Yates
Andrea Feary was our other worker. People I’d like to catch up with: Kaylene Smith, James and Jo Lewis, Darren Templer. I loved all the guest speakers we used to get, especially Allan Meyer. He was so entertaining.
Jeffery Pool
Loved dg groups, surveys, taking younger students out witnessing, social activities, Christianity Explained courses and changing the world for Jesus.
Ken Johnston
Jeff Ive heard the stories of you taking students out witnessing on campus. You were a force to be reckoned with (and I experienced it too just not on campus). I’m sure you still are.
Julie Robinson
Hello, fellow SFCers. I came to Christ while a student at James Cook Uni in Townsville in 1982. My husband also came to Christ soon after. We have been married now for 25 years and have seven amazing children. We led the SFC campus group for a few years and Mark went on to become Missions Director for SFC We owe a great deal to those days, and than God for the ministry of SFC.
Jeffery Pool
Mark and Julie are absolute legends. Mark Robinson was my lecturer at Rhema College in Townsville from 1991-1992. He lectured with energy. The stories at Uni with Julie were so inspiring. He was my hero. Led worship at Calvary Temple, discipled so many people at James Cook Uni. Inspired Warwick Drew, who inspired Adrian Garrone, who eventually became a campus worker and baptised me. Thanks Guys. Love you Mark Robinson. Keep going in the Queensland Senate. Make waves for Jesus. You, Julie, are soooo inspiring as a mother and your smile and kind words always made a difference to tired Uni students.
Grant Donnan
We have just finished our first year in Indonesia, its such an amazing place, kids are loving it and we see it as our home for quite a few years to come.
Ken Johnston
I remember Mark speaking at a VIC state conference. He must have been good that was 14 years ago.
Lisa Laws
Hey another great memory – all night prayer meetings or was that just an SA thing. Can remember doing all things to try to stay away at 3am onwards. Torture, cant imagine doing anything like that now!
Susannah Taylor
It wasn’t just a SA thing, we did it in VIC too. Although I think some ended up with us going to sleeping bags at about 3am.
Grant Donnan
It has been a long time since we did an all night of prayer, our church had a week of prayer and fasting that finished at 12 midnight, but wasn’t up to it then, or many now lol
Lisa Laws
We did an all night prayer meeting recently at Rostrevor Baptist, but it was by shift, only required to fill an hour slot…
Sarah Ardu
No all night prayer meetings weren’t just an SA thing. We did quite a lot of them in Melb. The 3-5 am stretch sure was hard going.
Valerie Dawn
Yeah those round the nation prayer meetings – my poor neighbours we must have kept them up!
Lisa Laws
Well if something’s going to wake the neighbours I guess a prayer meeting would be the best thing lol
Keira Johnston
Monash Uni Clayton 1998-2001, then campus working at Melbourne Uni 2002-2003. (Gotta love a ministry that you score an awesome hubby from ;O) Living and Pastoring in Melb, married to Ken, mum of 3, 1 on the way

Hi to you all former SFCers, I have to say those were the days, what a powerful national movement that impacted so many lives, Hard to believe it was 20 years ago! I was involved at Sydney, UNSW and UTS from time to time but was mainly working on materials for the STMT program which I think was an awesome initiative. Now working in IT, currently with a company called EMC, living in Penshurst and raising 4 kids with my wife of 15 years J
Yvonne Selkirk Miller
Favourite memories…. Getting back on track with God after having a slightly, well quite rebellious teenage years… Touched by God is amazing way, experienced God in a way I’d never known before that!
Ivan Ho
Literally walked into SFC without invitation in ’86 when Gordon Gibbs was doing a series of meetings at UNSW. I was powerfully baptized in the Holy Spirit in his 2ndmeeting. Before that I was attending a very traditional Baptist church in Sydney. That encounter changed my life, my fav memory!

Kirsty Johnson
hmmm… favourite memories would be SFC camps playing Lowest card loses and getting by on minimal sleep. And getting frocked up for formals. Always wore my tiara-had to live up to the Princess nickname J
Lisa Laws
Hey guys, I’m thinking we should spend some time in prayer for the campuses, like Grant Donnan said it’s like those old national prayer phone hookups which took so much faith the believe that Telstra would keep us all connected. Pause for a moment and pray for the campuses.
Sarah Ardu
Didn’t list my course in last post: Science, Melb Uni 1983-1986 (Did final year part time to go on staff with SFC parttime) Then fully on SFC staff 1987-1990. Currently missionary with ACC World Missions in Cambodia since 1998

Grant Donnan
Hi SFC Vic and Adelaide, Grant and Ceri Donnan now living in Indonesia.
Angela Coombs
We are living in Chicago while my husband Clayton Coombs is completing his PhD in theology. Actually, at the moment, he is presenting a paper at Oxford in England, so he might be able to attend – not sure of how the time difference works out for him. We were both involved in SFC at Monash. Clayton was involved at Caulfield, and then later became the Campus Director at Monash Clayton in the late 90s. They were formative years for both of us. Towards the end of my husband Clayton’s involvement on the Clayton campus, he was employed to work for City Life Church as the young adults pastor. After 5 years, the Lord led us to move out to the States for further study – first Fuller Seminary and now Wheaton College. We plan to return to Melbourne around June next year with our now four children.
