Celebrate Recovery
We are proud to be associated with the world renowned
Celebrate Recovery twelve step program.
Designed by Pastor John Baker and proudly supported by
Pastor Rick Warren from the Saddle Back Church in
California U.S.A., C.R. is a well tested Christ based
recovery program for those who suffer from hurts, hang-ups
and habits.
It is based on the beatitudes and the Sermon on the Mount
delivered by Jesus Christ.
This program has changed the lives of thousands around the
world in churches of every denomination.
Our program commences at the Burleigh Gardens Seventh Day
Adventist church on the Queensland Gold Coast in April
2008.
We are happy to assist other organizations in establishing
their own C.R. ministry.

The Healing Power of
Grace
One of our primary ministries at Mission Serenity is to
help the now adult victims of childhood abuse within the
church and other organizations to recover to a full and
meaningful life.
Michelle suffered at the hands of a church elder for six
years when she was only a small child.
Her life was to take many destructive turns from that
period on.
She has been able to turn this around and regain control of
her life again through the Healing Power of Grace.
Michelle’s testimony will inspire you.
She found the faith and courage to find the man who abused
her and____________forgive
him.
Since then her life has exploded with relevance.
Part of our ministry at Mission Serenity is to run retreat
seminars for past victims and their families.
We are planning to set up a country retreat in Northern
N.S.W. for this purpose.
Invited participants will then be able to avail themselves
of counseling, healing and life reconstruction with
Michelle, Graham and their committed volunteers and
supporters.
Michelle’s testimony goes on the road to your church or
community group anywhere in Australia by special
arrangement.
Healing the Male
Spirit
Another of our core ministries at Mission Serenity is
related to men and the spiritual void or the Black Hole
that is a very destructive part of the male physiology and
psychology.
It is this misunderstood and neglected part of the lives of
men that is at the root of some of the worst crimes
committed in our society.
Graham has come from a life that was almost totally
destroyed by his slavery to the Black Hole.
From this experience he has studied the male situation in
order to heal himself.
He now sees this research and experience as a valuable
resource from which to help others.
His programs deal with unhealthy addictions to such demons
as alcohol, sex, food, pornography, co -dependency and
AFFLUENZA.
Graham’s testimony will, like Michelle’s, inspire you, and
we will consider any requests to present at your church or
community group.
Graham will also give inspirational talks and run multi day
or evening seminars to deal with these issues.
Too often we hear the same comment in our society.
“Where have all the real men gone?”
Family Communication
Skills
Michelle and Graham, like all of us have made many mistakes
in their lives.
At Mission Serenity our motto is “So what, now what?”
Michelle’s university degrees in psychology, law and
nursing as well as the University of life degree in raising
her own children has not been wasted here.
Graham has the University of Life Degree also as well as a
wealth of experience in the airline industry training
pilots both civil and military, in communication skills and
team work.
They have developed programs to assist families in better
communication skills and enhanced listening tactics.
Many everyday issues in families could be less stressful if
family members knew how to listen.
Available are talks and seminars to suit your church,
school or community groups.
Role Model and
Mentoring
There are many seniors in our society who have a passion to
pass on their career and life skills to younger teens.
We feel there is a need to link people who have been
screened and chosen for this task with teens who may have
been raised by single parent families and need some of
these skills.
We will pair these seniors and teens off together in groups
to work on projects together.
At the retreat property, “Serenity” we will have a fully
equipped workshop with the facilities to work on cabinet
making and building projects.
One of our volunteers is renowned Gold Coast builder and
cabinet maker Noel Glenn.
Noel is a craftsman in the old school and still remembers
the fine art of a hand cut dovetail joint and the finer
arts of raising children and living life.
He has experiences in running a business and training
apprentices.
Noel is one of nature’s finest gentlemen and has a passion
and honor that is just too solid to waste.
We will also have well established gardens and orchards and
people equipped to pass on the horticultural gifts they
also posses.
This list will grow as more people come on board with us,
so stay in touch with the latest news link to keep
informed.
