Stable on the Strand 2007
Saturday, January 12th, 2008 by Nick Verwymeren
Stable on the Strand just finished about three weeks ago. I put together a short video to give you an idea of how it looked this year. Stable on the Strand is a week long event during Christmas that’s held at our local beach. Almost every church in Townsville gets involved to tell the public the true meaning of Christmas. This year they recreated the town of Bethlehem. There was also live music by James Morrisson, a very famous Australian jazz musician.
Every year we meet people at Stable that had no idea what Christmas is really about. After they walk through Bethlehem and see baby Jesus they are so amazed that they’d never heard about this before. It’s an amazing event to share our faith at and just let the city know that the local church really does love them. Check out the video below:

About Us
Sara and I (Nick) have been married since June 2007. We volunteer with an organization called YWAM (Youth With A Mission). YWAM has close to 1000 bases around the world. One of those bases is Reef to Outback in Townsville, Australia which is where we are located. Nick currently works in the communications department and Sara works with the music ministry. We believe that we will be in Australia for a few more years to continue volunteering. Neither of us receive a salary from RTO (Reef to Outback) or YWAM for what we do. We must raise all of our own support through church, friends, family, and anyone else who is genuinely interested in helping us (if you’d like to help us please visit our ‘Donate‘ section).
