Seminar: Prayer (DouW Venter)<br />

Braedan Entermann currently<br />

serves as a pastor in the NNSW<br />

Conference. Leaving his lifelong<br />

dream of being a medical<br />

doctor, he answered the<br />

clear call of God to enter the<br />

ministry. After attending the<br />

ARISE course in 2013,<br />

Braedan has enjoyed working at<br />

ARISE Australia to train & equip<br />

young and old. He currently serves<br />

as the administrator of ARISE Express,<br />

an annual 2-week discipleship<br />

training course held in Newcastle.<br />

Matthew Hunter is the<br />

Pastor of the Grove and<br />

Elizabeth Churches in South<br />

Australia where he lives with his<br />

wife Lauren and their two children<br />

Henry and Amelia. He is<br />

also planting a church in the<br />

Northern Suburbs of Adelaide.<br />

He has a passion to see the<br />

church engaged in mission and<br />

ministry.<br />

Matthew believes when more of<br />

the church is engaged in sharing<br />

their faith that we best reflect<br />

Christ to our community and<br />

are most effective. He has done<br />

training in the US on how to run<br />

successful house churches and<br />

small groups and is convinced<br />

that when we are doing this<br />

effectively it is simple and easy to<br />

run and easy to replicate. Matthew<br />

believes that if we want<br />

the mission to grow in our day,<br />

we need to work out ways to<br />

communicate our message in a<br />

more flexible, simple and easily<br />

scalable format that is accessible<br />

to all people.<br />

After more than 40 years in fulltime<br />

ministry, Douw is still passionate about daily<br />

encounters with Jesus through His Word and<br />

His Spirit, looking forward to Jesus second<br />

coming and the salvation of every individual Jesus<br />

died for. He served the church community<br />

in different countries, conferences and cities in<br />

various roles and challenges.<br />

Douw was born in South Africa into a faithful<br />

believing family and accepted Jesus as his personal<br />

saviour at age 12. He completed his B.Th.<br />

degree in Theology 1977 at Helderberg College;<br />

Masters of Arts from Andrews University in<br />

1985 and Master in Ministry (Family) at Avondale<br />

College in 2005. Currently he is pursuing<br />

studies through the “Gottman Institute”. His<br />

passion is training, equipping and empowering<br />

members and leaders to follow God’s agenda for<br />

their lives. Reading the Prophets and Gospels in<br />

the context of the Three Angels message gives<br />

him spiritual energy.<br />
