One year ago, I stepped into the role of Chief Executive at Rural Missions, taking up the baton from our founder, Rev Barry Osborne. Barry’s vision and dedication over many years laid a strong foundation for the work we continue today, and I want to take this moment to honour his legacy and thank him for his faithfulness to rural ministry.

This past year has been one of growth, learning, and incredible opportunities.

What does your name mean? There are so many different names in the Bible but a lot of them have meaning behind them and that person has been given that name for a particular reason. I wonder if there’s a story behind why you were given your name?

God has many different names that we ascribe to him, king of kings, the good shepherd, prince of peace, everlasting father, the list goes on. But what about God’s personal name “Yahweh” what’s the story behind that name?
