About Me
1 Corinthians 8:6
I took the PFAL Class in Sydney, Australia and went to the International Summer School, Living Victoriously and Rock of Ages at HQ, New Knoxville in 1982. Was then sent out as a WOW Ambassador that same year with great folk to Detroit, MI (WOW Family-Norm & Marlene Petrangelo, Lynn Shroudenbach, Tricia Davis, Marc McPherson, Joe Molaney, Kathy, Kelly & Roger Ashmore) under Glenn Post and Pat Strauhal (Bob Swan also there). Was Area Coordinator in Southfield, MI and Detroit Teen Outreach Coordinator then worked on Limb Staff in St Johns, MI under Pat & Donna Strauhal, Phil & Teresa Yates. Almost completed apprentice 15 Corps year (interrupted by the actions of a depraved leader not mentioned here) then joined 16 where I went to Emporia. Departed the Corps half way thru 1st Residence year and shortly after left Tricia. Went to Tampa, Florida with Joe & Karen Woods then returned to Australia. Lived in Adelaide for approx 1 year with Shirley, Doug and Becky Lindley (Marco Levader/ Sarah Wilkinson country coordinators).
Since Way Incorporation have communicated with Peter & Vivien Wade and attended a variety of Protestant churches (and smuggled Bibles into mainland China). I am now an Australian attorney with four university degrees, recently won the US Green Card Lottery and seek a suitable position in China, Central-Eastern Europe, India, China or Russia.
God is so GOOD!!

Employment or Career
Isaiah 40:31
Before and during my PFAL course I served in the Royal Australian Navy onboard the Guided Missile Destroyer, HMAS Perth and lead an onboard Christian fellowship (Noel Fairburn was in 'my fellowship' and had started going to 'twig' which, in turn, introduced me to the Way Incorporation in Sydney/ Australia--Bob & Susan Merritt, Gene & Sherry Slavit, Doug & Becky Lindley, Bruce Phillips, Jerry Racette, Tricia Williams (under-shepherded me & later Davis), Deidre Ivers, Jennifer Garrett, Jorge & Mary Diaz-Martinez, Margaret Ver Harr, Terri, Laura, Phil Lowe, Lee Hughes Gage, Bill Quin). During and just after my WOW year in Detroit I worked a window cleaning business with Marvin Runge, Larry "Jake" Jacobs and Rick Nelson.
After the Way Incorporation, I drove (night) taxis in Sydney, Australia for seven years (full-time) then had my own business servicing large to small publishing houses. At the age of 35 I finally went to university. I am a Combined Law Honors graduate from the University of Sydney (Bachelor of Arts (Honors in Government & Public Administration), Bachelor of Laws) and a graduate of the Australian National University (Master of Management, Master of Laws (Legal Practice)). I am also an Australian Barrister & Solicitor (Attorney) admitted to the High Court of Australia and the ACT Supreme Court and have practiced law in the private and public sectors. I recently spent 15 or so months in Washington, DC and enjoyed meeting people from all walks of life. I was even invited to Senator Kennedy's Office by a previous Chief of Staff on my arrival to DC and include former/ current aides to Mikhail Gorbachev and other political leaders in my online Linkedin.Com network.
I invite you to connect with me at http://www.Linkedin.Com/in/MarkGrantDavis as it has provided me with many great connections (and several contracts) around the globe and it may assist your career/ business (so connect--its free). I now intend to take the Bar in a US jurisdiction and have a keen interest in God's Heart reaching people in Eastern Europe.

I loved The Hiding Place too. And when I got witnessed to by a Way believer I was ripe to learn. Because I was not a neophite I was not fooled.
Rev. Wilkinson was the man in The Cross and the Switchblade? I haven't read that book but I think it was out in a movie. Pat Boone played that part I think.
If I ever wrote down the Adventures of God and Janis, I don't know if they would be as exciting as the things you and seen and done, but they would be precious to me. My Heavenly Father loves me so much He gives me everything I need, want and desire. He even puts the desires in my heart to begin with. How magnificient is God!
Wanted to know if you were in communication with Allan Woodhouse in MelBourne ...?
I met Him in the U.S. .
PL in Ypsilanti
Yes ,Glen is Glen S Post . I lived with Glen and Marvin Runge at one time long ago in a distant glaxy , where all the men were young ,single and mostly broke . I knew Rick Nelson , and Kathy Ashmore . Chuck Stempien and I had dinner together with all our families last week . He is in Walled Lake ,married with children and grand children .Tony Dean , Kirk Hammond, Allan Stienke all were there to partake and break bread .
Detroit and the area have had a few setbacks , our elected officials continue to try and fix things , but then remember that a Jackass is a horse that was designed by politicians ...
Small business thrives , Big business with all the overhead ,and pitfalls ,suffers.
Those who have the will to work and apply themselves won't end up living in a KOA Campground ....but then that might be nice for a while ... : )
God Bless

Thanks a million for the little note to remind me of you. Many people asked to be added as friends, but do not say who they are. After a few years, people's faces change, even your facew has changed. It is not the face of the Mark Davis I remembered in Detroit and in Emporia that was married to Tricia. Bless you and thanks. I'll keep in touch via email. Thank you for adding me as one of your friends and more importantly for remembering me.
Much love,
Roberto
I 've seen Terri once in the last 20 years. She was living in Maine with her hubby and son.
I communicate with Trisha and Michael on a half-way regular basis, once or twice maybe three tijmes a year.
Charley DiMaggio is on the corps site. As is Sarah Wilkinson Ghent, whom I do communicate semi regurarly with. Other than that I have spoken to Yasmin a few times. She gave me Marco's in but it was already obsolete.
But all that aside, it's great to hear from you. We must get together and catch-up. God is working some great things in te hearts and lives of the saints in our area. We are excited to see the Word moving and having such a great impact in the hearts of so many of us. I look forward to seeing you soon.
Love in Christ,
Jer
