People and places
8 April 2009 Gerald (1996) and Kath Donker have been planning for their relocation from Sydney to Melut, in Southern Sudan, where Gerald will be teaching at Gideon Theological College. Gerald is currently working full-time on completion of his thesis through Macquarie University, and plans to complete that for submission in late May/early June, so that they're free to leave for Sudan in August. The past few months have been hectic, with Gerald travelling to Boston, USA to present a paper on his research at a Society of Biblical Literature conference, then on to Muenster Germany assessing additional manuscript resources for his thesis, and then finally on to Melut in December 2008 to consider accommodation, schooling, and other requirements in anticipation of their move. After a little time with family in Sydney in the New Year, Gerald was again away from home fo six weeks, this time at Cambridge, UK under a scholarship awarded by Macquarie University.
Gerald and Kath are working under the auspices of Pioneers of Australia. Former students and colleagues who would like to get in touch with the Donkers can contact Pioneers (info@pioneers.org.au) or, contact us here at BCV (moliver@bcv.vic.edu.au) and we would be delighted to pass on your details to Gerald and Kath so that they can get reconnect with you.
Janet Maddern (1996) Since graduation I have looked to serve God in my capacity as a nurse, a mother of three boys and wife of a Mathamatics Head teacher in rural and outback Queensland and NSW. We currently have just moved to Broken Hill with the aim to assist the local Baptist Church and the local BCA (Bush Church Aid) couple. Both Noel and I strongly believe in the need for working Christians to support the local church in small and large rural and remote towns - the need is so great. Many churches are struggling with only a few members taking on the load. Even in bigger towns like Broken Hill (20 000) the need is huge. Often many of the things I learnt at college pop up as helpful, not only if I am doing the ministry but also in my support of my husband's and other's ministries. Our email address is noelandjanet@hotmail.com love to hear from everyone.

I teach all ages of pupil from 11 to 18 and each year presents a different challenge.

For those who remember the poems from college - these still appear at Church form time to time at special events.
