Jared Bartlett - Administrator
Nick Lindeback - Director
A ministry focused gap year was a game changer for Nick and “one of the best decisions” of his life. Having previously worked as a Christian Studies teacher and later as the Coordinator of Christian Education at Thomas Hassall Anglican College, he has a passion to see young people know and love Jesus. Now in church ministry, Nick is excited to be able to offer a new generation the same opportunity he had - a ministry gap year with exceptional teaching, embedded in the local church.
Ken Noakes - Director
Whether in Australia, India, or Africa, Ken is passionate about raising up Christian leaders and helping people grow in their love for Jesus. Having previously run a gap year based out of St Andrew’s Cathedral, Ken is excited to offer this new program for young people in Western Sydney.
