Stories of discipleship
As part of the "Go Make Disciples" program at the Archdiocese of Sydney, we are able to share the associated stories of discipleship that are emerging, a fruit of the Holy Spirit drawing people to the truth and love of Christ. The "Disciple Diaries" are these stories.
These stories are personal, powerful, and life changing, these stories are the "Go Make Disciples" program in action.
This video series shows the impact of Christ on our lives, transformative experiences in the midst of everyday life.
The series includes the following.
| 1: Careena |
Careena Craven grew up in a household where faith was a stranger. Now she's preparing to become a leader in her parish. |
| 2: Erin |
From a young age, 34-year-old Erin Gillard always harboured a yearning to serve God. She shares how even a shock diagnosis couldn't dissuade her from serving God. |
| 3: Anton |
Summernats "grand mullet" winner Anton Medvidovic grew up in faith, but strayed and found himself in a dark place. Fraternity and the witness of other men brought him back to God. |
| 4: Quyen Phan |
As a young girl growing up in Vietnam, Quyen Phan hoped to become a Buddhist nun. God had other plans. |
| 5: Carl |
Carl hopes his return to the faith and daily involvement in parish life can inspire other Catholics, especially youth, to bring their energy to help renew their own parish. |
| 6: Andrew |
The extraordinary faith of Andrew Condoleon reads like a movie script. From a tennis prodigy bound for Wimbledon, to an ice addicted, street gang member, Andrew’s transformation into a parish leader and an inspirational fixture among the Catholic men’s movement is inspiring. |
| 7: Gina |
As the child of Greek migrants, Gina did not feel connected to her Orthodox faith. But when her husband fell gravely ill, she prayed silently for strength, grasping to a faith she only remembered from her childhood. |
| 8: Maree |
With her fiery Auburn hair and tanned visage, we can still see in Maree Ataya, the hint of a Northern Beaches "Stevie Nicks", the enchanting rebel resplendent in vibrant tie-dye and flowing skirts. But it’s also a past filled with the dysfunction of those turbulent times. |
