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.

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 am amazed also of how many details you remember of believers and places and dates. To that shows that you take wholehearted part in people around you. Keep up the good work. God will reward you.
Godly love from Kai Funderud
God bless. You said you wanted to stay connected so I thought I'd drop you a line and say "hi". You said you were in Youth Camp at HQ with me? Was that the year with Bob Matheison? They had a huge group of kids come in from all over the US. I was one of the Twig coordinators. I remember that. What did you there? Those were fun times. I have a picture of that in front of the Fountain of Living Water. Great times to remember. Well, I trust all is fine. We'll talk soon.
I haven't met Peter Wade ...
Seems a freind of mine went to visit him in 1999 and I have heard about his doings more often him since. Before that all I knew of him was from PFAL Etc ....I am pretty sure he was in Illinios and Ohio maybe 5 or 6 years back ? ? ? ? I would have to ask Charlie Quillen ( who is on this site ) to be sure ....
PL
God Bless
I am pretty sure that Peter Wade is alive and well .....a friend in Hawaii invited us to come to a Camp there with Peter . I got one or two of his teachings sent to me in the past years...somehow I thought you were in Australia ,and Chicago , Long commute ,right ?
Nope Never been to Aus. Was in the USArmy served in a variety of places including Europe and Great Britain , still in touch with folks from various continents that I knew way back when ....
Have a splendid New Year

Sarah Wilkinson told me that Peter Wade had recently sent her some books with a written note to her. However, I am dubious as to whether or not that note is actually from Peter in that a guy from the US came over to Australia and took over Peter's Ministry/ book handling in the early 90s(??). Vivien had also told me that Peter had suffered one/ several (?) heart attacks around same time and as I have not heard from him for a while I can only assume that he is now asleep. I hope that I'm wrong. As for the other believers, I know that Peter aroused just over 100 believers into action just after he returned from Wierwille/filming PFAL but these people have gone onto other things (hopefully still fellowship with God). Shirley Lindley divorced her first husband and married Doug Senior. Doug Lindley Junior (6/8th Corps??) divorced Becky who tried to take their 2 children back to the US but was forced to stay in Adelaide (though she wanted to return to the USA). I remember Nick Bazzica, Yasmin et al but have not kept in touch with them. Sarah Wilkinson would know about the Saints in Australia as I was/am chiefly called to serve outside Australia. Did you serve in Australia?
I am not to sure as to what Number Corps any folks were in these days ...I was in more than one and it's all a blur anymore ..just thankful that I still have friends after all these years that remember me ,and I them , if it happened before 1982 I really don't remember ....
Seems that I have old fart memory ....
Peter Wade ...you in touch with him these days , or any of the folks from your home area ...
PL and LL in Ypsilanti
I am not sure whatever became of them. You should post in the friend Finder thread. Yes they moved to NY but I have not heard from them since. I Hope they show up here some day. I have lived here since 1979!
Happy New Year!
Well, I attended Summer School 1984 and did went in to the 16th Way Corps. If I am not
wrong you and Tricia were my coordinators in residence at Emporia for maybe the last block. Did not sing in a group. God Bless You!
In Christ,
