Glenda Rouxel spices up Thursday Morning with her co-presenter Simon (the British bloke) [STOP PRESS: Simon went back to England. We miss you Simon!]. Short of our own biographical note, we have borrowed this one from Glenda’s website:

Born in the beautiful city of Sydney Australia into a loving but eccentric Christian family consisting of Dad; who was so convinced of my potential he bribed me to write stories, Mum; whose mirthful mishaps have supplied much humorous fodder for my pen, and three fabulous, good looking and intelligent siblings, who now owe me dinner.

When I was aged three my Grandmother spied me bossing my siblings and cousins around on her back porch, and commented to various collected relatives with a bemused grin “She’ll be a teacher that one, mark my words”. They did and I was, a teacher I mean. Driven by a desire to have little children follow me around adoringly I went into teaching passionately, loving the children, and the teachers I worked with, learning from them more than I am sure anyone ever learnt from me. I met my husband, Colin, at church when I was 12 years old, although it would be at least another four years before he would even notice my existence. Once he did it was love, then many years and four beautiful children later, it still is.

Although my pen and I have a close affinity I have previously never called myself a writer, but the desire to do something with my written words was strong. One day I recall discussing with God that if it was his will, then he could find a way. It was, and he did.

Months later my husband was offered a tree-change transfer with his job as a paramedic to the country, which meant me leaving my teaching position and picking up our family to move to beautiful Blayney in rural New South Wales. It is here that God has given me the time to let my daily reflections grow into characters, stories, messages and inspiration. It was here that Amber Glass, the Embarrassed Evangelist, was hatched.

Tune in for new music this year from Chris Tomlin, Third Day, and Michael W Smith. We are also throwing some new Australian music into the mix, including Jane Saunders, Jon Baldwin, and Gateway City Church Wollongong.

Don’t miss our new monthly newsletter. The next edition is due in February.

It is that time of year when we reflect on the previous 12 months, and make plans for the new year ahead. It is also the time of year when we look back on Jesus’s first coming, when the Son of God took on our humanity and made peace between us and God. And so, we also look forward to his second coming, when he will restore us completely, and we will see Him face to face.

So, as you plan for the year ahead, may your hopes and aspirations be shaped around serving in God’s kingdom now, and preparing for the return of the King.

If the year has left you a little worse for wear, may God be refreshing you even now.

Do you believe in the sufficiency of God’s Word to direct the lives of God’s people?

Who is the Embarrassed Evangelist?

Amber Glass is a sweet but slightly erratic Christian working mum. One day God challenges her to step up and share her faith with her friends, and Amber has never been more embarrassed in her life.

Amidst a practical joking husband, two precocious children, a dog with a passion for vacuum cleaners, some painfully honest friends and her own obsession with chocolate Amber experiences mistakes and monumental mayhem.

Will Amber fulfill her newfound passion and successfully lead her friends to salvation? Or will she just have another chocolate biscuit and go shopping?

Andy Armytage was born in Colac, Victoria (1954). His family left the farm after the 1967-71 drought and moved to Coff Harbour where he completed his final year of school at Bellingen High. A few of his mates from the school became Christians at uni and started working on Andy who was too busy learning to fly with RAAF and embarking on a sales career.

Later, through these friends, I met Sue, Jesus and a whole new life (not forgetting thanks to Billy Graham at Randwick, 1979). I prayed in 1980 to fly for Hazelton Airlines. The prayer was answered immediately and led to 27 years of service. (It was God’s idea first).

In 1981, Andy scored a basing at Cudal and brought Sue and their 2 week old son to live in Orange. They still live in the same house (extended and renovated) and added a son and a daughter with a healing miracle the specialist said couldn’t be done. To date, they have four grandsons growing up in a Christian household, a son in Bible College and a daughter bent on a life of mission to the downcast.

Since 1998, Andy has enjoyed a position on the board at Rhema FM Orange and sees Rhema as an essential part of Christian community life in our region.

Loading Real Family Life (Dennis Rainey)

I am very thankful to have been born in a home where both my parents had made a decision for Christ and my childhood Sundays were occupied the entire day with our Congregational church and church related activities.

My uncle was an LMS missionary in the Pacific and we often had girls from Nauru (in Australia for school) stay with us during the holidays.

When I was 8 years old, a missionary to New Guinea spoke to us about her work there and when she asked for those who would like to receive the Lord and dedicate their lives to mission work, I responded.

This decision led me to spend 5 years training at RPAH Camperdown and KGV. Graham lived next door to the hospital, but I didn’t meet him till I was at a WEC mission meeting at Strathfield inviting people to a Bible Study at St Stephens, Newtown. We got to know each other doing door to door work for the Anglican church.

Graham and I were on the first YWAM Summer of Service in Australia and we married at the end of a YWAM outreach in Fiji.

The Lord led us to Orange 36 years ago. In 1992 a friend of ours rand to say that there were community frequencies that could be applied for in Orange, Bathurst and Dubbo. We saw this as a tremendous opportunity for Christians throughout the Central West to grow in their knowledge and love for Christ.

Since the of our involvement with Christian Radio some of the most exciting things to see have been the growth of the Vision FM Network throughout Australia currently with 290 stations, the Laef FM Station in Port Vila where our son Michael assists with training, and the National Radio of Nepal reaching people who have never heard the name of Christ. Radio Nepal’s Message of Hope is supervised by Simon Pandey. His son and daughter-in-law (Dr Bijay and Tabitha Pandey) are living in Orange.
