Joshua Toohey

Having worked in heavy industry for 6 years, I felt I had to leave as the environment was deeply incompatible with my faith. I left to study Theology and Religious Studies, where my faith and understanding of God deepened. While I have worked and studied, I have been involved in the youth ministries of two churches. I am in charge of a high school-aged Sunday school and two weekly youth groups. I have also been involved in the organisation and participation of a regular youth service and a fortnightly bible study group for college-aged young people and young adults. I make Jesus known to young people/adults and disciple them in a community that they belong to.
