In the last few days God has been working mightily in my life, and in my partner's life. Gareth had put his visa application into the Australian High Commission earlier in the year.

It was decided that he should apply under his own steam, his own skills and his own right. This was because of his age, his skills, and his status as a single man in the eyes of the Australian and many governments. A relationship such as ours makes it very difficult to emmigrate to most countries.

He placed the application into the high commission, and waited. A month later he was asked for the details of his skills, to be sent to Canberra for recognition against Australian equivalents.

On the 11th September, the letter arrived to say his skills had been recognised. God had blessed us again, and given us more to rejoice about.

It is now the 13th September, and I have finished that first week of teaching duties, but in this time I have been compelled by the Spirit to write this account of my spritual life. It is hoped that you have gained an insight into how I trust God, have even argued with Him, and wept with Him.

I can say that as of this moment in time I feel that the joy God has in us is back in my life. I feel closer to him, and I feel that I am in His will. This story of my spiritual life was written prior to 14th Sept 1997.

This travel through my life is by no way complete, but God has prompted me to include what was important to you the reader.

I believe I was urged to write this for someone. I pray that my story touches your heart, and that you and God can talk more about how you see a gay Christian man, or if you are stuggling, how you can be a gay man and a Christian.

I will add to it, and I invite with you to travel with me, seeing how God has blessed me, and continues to bless me and my partner.

It is possible to be a gay man and a Christian. I have never given up on the fact that God will not give up on me. He has honoured me with blessings from above that only He could have given.

I will not say that this has been a totally smooth journey, in the time I was away in the UK my partner and I were attacked via email, and we invite you to read the attacks. See the Gay Christian Debate pages for this.

You may agree, you may not, but please ask for the Lord's guidance as you read. I pray he blesses you today and all the days of your life.
