"While it's true that everything went smoothly for Carol and me, our hearts were touched by the small and struggling Christian churches of Australia. The churches were warm and gracious about the teaching and encouragement we came to share with them. But growing a church, and getting Aussie teens and young families involved is extremely difficult these days. The country as a whole is increasingly secular, having no interest in knowing Jesus or searching the Bible for solving life's problems."

Ken & Carol's host, Jim Newman of Southern Cross Ministries, said, "Ken shared with 90 different people in the seminars, which by Australian standards is a very large number of people. All the comments I have heard from each congregation has been positive. Carol made an equally good impression with the ladies from Eastern Downs Church of Christ where she shared twice."
