Speaker to spice up Festival of Faith

Elia Crevar is not a fan of clowns, but relationships, particularly marrying people (as a celebrant), sport—he is captain of an indoor cricket team—and young adults, they are different. Elia is not only a fan, he is a passionate fan. Add chili to the list—Elia puts it on much of the food he eats. He is not only passionate about spicing up food but about the way Jesus is presented to the world.

And that is a good thing for staff members and students on Avondale College of Higher Education’s Lake Macquarie campus, because Elia, chaplain at Central Coast Adventist School, is speaking at Festival of Faith next week (April 4-9).

In the past five years, Elia has borne two children (“that was mostly my wife, Melinda”) and aims to be “a good father and husband” and to be “part of a movement that loves people—to show Jesus to a world that is in desperate need.”

What things makes Elia get out of bed every morning? “A screaming child or thinking about things I need to do.”

Student Associated Ministries leader Imogen Menzies encourages you to make Festival of Faith one of the things you do next week. “It’s an opportunity to connect, worship, grow, experience, share and learn,” she says. “You really don’t want to miss it!”

Classes scheduled for 10.00 AM during the week are cancelled. Lecturers may choose to reschedule these classes.
