My name is Chris Thomas. A fortunate husband, a father of three and dad to five; I’m an advocate of foster care as an implication of the gospel. I write firstly as a means of shepherding those at Raymond Terrace Community Church, a regional church based in the Hunter Valley of New South Wales, Australia, where I have the privilege of pastoring.
