Meet the Hattons...
Chris
Originally from Canada, I moved to Australia via Hawaii in my teens since my parents were, and still are missionaries. I became a carpenter after working for a while in Youth With A Mission, and during my apprenticeship won awards for my work. I've always enjoyed building, especially with natural products. Now in my 40s I'm recognising that my focus is shifting, and I'm growing in my desire to 'build' people instead of houses.

Carol
Originally from England, I became an Australian citizen in February 2013 having lived in Australia for the best part of 13 years. I trained and worked as a secondary school teacher with a special interest in kids with behavioural problems. My interest has more recently shifted to adults and helping them work through issues which they feel are of a concern to them personally. Having completed the Certificate IV in Christian Counselling Ministry with YWAM in Perth I better equipped and ever developing my skills in pastoral care, member care and counselling. As we continue to follow God's lead as family, we are challenged by new situations and the ever present need to rely on Him for wisdom and insight.

Our children are both beautiful, fun loving, bright and full of life!
