| Introduction | Adrian & Jen met at The Foundry at Grace Community Church in Los Angeles. After drinking lots of coffee, taking hundreds of long evening walks and maxing out our mobile phones bills, we got engaged and then married in March 2005. Adrian finished seminary just a few weeks before Lil' Zip (a.k.a. Zoe) joined our family in July 2007. The three of us moved to Melbourne in July 2008 to enjoy fresh air, discover nature, and assist a local church in building its counselling and discipleship ministries. Our gorgeous boys Dah-dah and Jakey-bubs joined us in March 2009 and August 2011 respectively, and in between Adrian took on the pastor role at our church. |
