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.
