The have already been a part of a beach mission with a group that ministers during the summer and Christmas holidays at the beach. They have also been invited to begin school concerts. Jennifer, a former Flying Queens and assistant coach for the Queens, was asked to play on a professional basketball team and from that, was invited to play on a special Australian team against the Korean national team. Although she was very nervous and just getting over an illness, she was the leading scorer with 23 points. That is opening many doors for her to share her faith with different groups of people, both Australian and internationals.
