I have the privilege of being the National Lay Director of Australia during this milestone of celebrating 25 years of Emmaus in Australia.

In August 1984, the Rev. Robert Wood, at the invitation of The Upper Room (Australia), brought a team of 32 Americans (most of whom paid their own fares and used their annual leave) to run the first Emmaus Walks in Australia.

Team members came from all over the USA from both Emmaus Walk and Cursillo movements and included two Australians who had made their initial walks in the US. The first Emmaus Walks from men and women were held in Oxford, NSW. Twenty men and thirty-three women attended.

Well Hello from Iraq. Thank you for the continued emails about things that are going on within the community. It is nice to hear from home.

Well I have a fourth day story. When I departed from my Walk I was filled with the spirit and eager to tell everyone the story of our Savior. Well I did and people could see it. I left three weeks after my walk for training and then to Iraq. I was tested and I fell right back into my same old same old routine. I was being cool with the guys and not asking for help from God, my family, no one. As time went on and I found how I was talking to people about things that were going on (getting personal and mean) I stopped and started praying.
