“Once Christ came into my life I found new life in Jesus,” he said.
“I speak about Jesus and I am paid to do it. I feel very privileged to do this.”
Pastor Ben has most recently been at the Gateway Presbyterian Church at Anna Bay before his transfer to minister the Dungog and Clarence Town community.
“It was lovely living by the coast but I have a heart for the country. Country people are wonderful and the Christian community here has warmly welcomed me,” he said.
Ben is married to Bec and the couple has four children aged between eight and 13. When not spending time with his family, Ben enjoys watching rugby, lifting weights and listening to his favourite preachers.
