I gave my heart to the Lord, baptised and filled with the Holy Spirit when I was quite young. I have been raised in church all my life. Being the only musician in our family when my father and mother were called by the Lord into ministry has had a strong influence upon my life to live for the Lord Jesus Christ.
Until about 8 years ago, I've been living a life of struggles until I came to the knowledge of the Message of the Cross through Sonlife Broadcasting Network and the Jimmy Swaggart Ministries, I came to a better understanding of how to overcome these struggles. These struggles held me back living for the Lord, and now live my life 'as a victorious Christian'. It wasn't until I had a revelation of the words 'deny yourself', the Word of God says in Luke 9:23 KJV And he said to them all, If any any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me; Christ already paid the price for me and you. We don't have to struggle anymore. 'Christ crucified' in 1 Corinthians 1:23 KJV - are fundamental foundations for living a holy and righteous life according to the Word of God. Christ paid the ultimate price for my Salvation, Justification and Santification ie how one must live for the Lord.
I believe this ministry will allow you to learn more about living a victorious Christ life.
My heart's desire has always been to do God's work across this vast land of Australia and outback areas, through evangelism, ministering God's word focusing on the foundations of the Gospel 'Christ and Him crucified' where our victory lies.
If you have an opportunity to attend any of the meetings, I'd encourage you to come and receive a Word from the Lord.
Be Blessed!

I was saved at the age of 12 years old in Cloncurry, outback Queensland, and served the Lord Jesus Christ for over 35 years. I grew up in humble beginnings, I was born to Walter and Grace Norway who accepted Christ as their Lord and Saviour in 1967.
I married Jim De Busch who worked for Queensland Railway Mechanised Gang. In 1975, we moved to Ingham with our 2 children Louise and James (Jnr). Donnie arrived 3 years later, followed by Markeesh. We went to raise our family in Ingham for about 9 years.
By the grace of God I found my way to a local Assemblies of God church headed by Pastor John and Cherilyn Martin where, in 1977, I was baptised in the Holy Ghost and sat under their ministry.
During that time, my husband was in a backslidden condition. He made new friends who happened to be local footballers. He went to play for Wallaman Rugby League - A grade division and in 1981 they went on to win the Grand Final that year. Jim was attending an after party with his team, that's where the Lord met him at the door and told him, "these people are not My people". The Holy Spirit led him to Christian Faith Centre Ingham, where an Evangelist by the name of Jack Lloyd was ministering. Then hallelujah, the Spirit of God got a hold of his heart and he was never the same. Praise God!
After 2 years serving the Lord, the Spirit of God called them both back to Mount Isa to take up ministry. The Lord drew us back to Pastor Desmond Hart who led the Full Gospel Fellowship. In 1987, we were blessed with another son Farrin. I'm a mother of 5 children now, 4 of whom are serving the Lord, and I am believing the Lord for my other son's salvation.
I am not short of challenges living the Christian life, and along this journey with my children who have had their own struggles serving the Lord, but thank God the evangelistic work is being reignited.
Coming to an understanding of the Message of the Cross as the foundation of the Gospel has been a life changer to living a victoriously life now in Christ. Christ crucified not only paid the ultimate price for my salvation, but made a way for my santification! Hebrews 10:14 KJV.
My desire is to see souls won for the Kingdom of God, including her grandchildren, and, "to spend time with my great grandchildren living for the Lord."
As my children's mother in the faith, its only by the Holy Spirit I am able to share the lessons that Christ taught me and my husband preaching in Open Air meetings over North Queensland.
If you have an opportunity to, please consider attending all upcoming meetings. Don't miss out on what God has to say to you!
Yours in Christ

This is the most important question in human existence and one whose answer is clearly outlined in scripture. In order to be saved we must first realize our true state of sinfulness before God and know that He alone can save us, cleanse us, and give us eternal life. Scripture tells us that Jesus is the only way and we can not have access to God through anyother means. In fact, in John 14:6, Jesus plainly stated..."I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."God Loves You!God loves you so much that he made a way for you, through the shed blood of his son so that you might be able to spend eternity with Him. “For God so loved the world that he gave His only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have Everlasting Life” ( Jn. 3:16 ).
Man is a Sinner, and Sin has Separated him from God!You may think you are a good person but being good is not enough! Every man has sinned and there is none that is righteous before God!“For there is not a just man upon Earth, that doeth good and sinneth not” ( Eccl. 7:20 ).“For all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God” (Rom. 3:23). Jesus Christ is the Only Remedy for Sin!Jesus Christ is the only remedy for sin. We can not be good enough to get into heaven, nor can our good works get us there. There was no other way for God to erase the effect of sin except by blood. The shedding of Christ's blood indicated that the penalty for sin had been paid; a perfect sinless life had been sacrificed for the lives of all who have sinned.“. . .Without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness of sins” ( Hebrews 9:22 )“For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God...” ( I Pet. 3:18 ).“Neither is there Salvation in any other: for there is none other name under Heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:12 ). You Must Receive Jesus Christ as Your Lord and Savior.
To be saved, a man must confess that Jesus is Lord, while acknowledging in his heart that Christ must have full rule over his life. This confession of Christ as Lord assumes that it is Christ who will work and fulfill His own righteousness within man, as man is unable to attain righteousness of his own accord. Jesus calls this experience the “new birth.” He told Nicodemus: “. . . Except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God” ( Jn. 3:3 ).We invite you now to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour. “But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His Name” ( Jn. 1:12 ).
Dear Lord Jesus, I realize that I am a sinner and have broken your laws. I understand that my sin has separated me from you. I am sorry and I ask you to forgive me. I accept the fact that your son Jesus Christ died for me, was resurrected, and is alive today and hears my prayers. I now open my heart’s door and invite Jesus in to become my Lord and my Saviour. I give Him control and ask that He would rule and reign in my heart so that His perfect will would be accomplished in my life. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
If you prayed this prayer in all sincerity, you are now a Child of God. However there are a few things that you need to do to follow up on your commitment.
So that we might rejoice with you, we invite you to contact us and let us know about the decision you made!
