7 Questions with John Sattler
Name: John Sattler
Current title: Retired Lead Pastor
Current organisation: Holy Cross Lutheran Church & School, Indianapolis
I grew up in the church, but wandered off in college, only to be eventually led by God to my future wife as we both responded to God’s Call to come back home to Him…and, eventually, to full-time church work as a pastor. I was working at a radio station when God helped me see the power of words and good writing.. a gift God intended me to use for Him.
Over the years, we served at congregations in St Louis, New Jersey, Iowa, Northwest Indiana, and finally at Holy Cross Lutheran - a mission congregation that grew and flourished into a large ministry in northeast Indianapolis. I retired a year ago, which gives me time to reflect on the role that God allowed me to play in His mission to reach the world.

7 Questions with Chris Little
Name: Chris Little
Current title: Minister
Current organisation: Albury Bible Church
I was not brought up as a Christian, but connected with church through friends. It took way too long to learn that forgiveness and life are a gift from God - not earned by me! Pretty much as soon as I became a Christian I knew I loved sharing in the Bible with people, and wanted to do it more and more. I had a period of time doing medical research, but then completed ministry training (with Ministry Training Strategy, and Moore College). Since then I've been involved in local church work, with touched of university ministry and emergency chaplaincy thrown in. And I have a wife and five great kids.
