Who is Julie Shannon?

Hi, I am 45  years old, and sold out for Jesus Christ! I was born in Hamilton Victoria, Australia – a small country town, I moved a lot as a child and was married to my husband Paul at the age of 19. (We are still married!)  We have three beautiful daughters, a wonderful son in law and one tiny grand daughter.

I grew up attending a variety of church’s and denominations due to the amount of moves we had as a family when I was young.  Because of this though I don’t have a denominational bone in my body. I see the universal church (the committed Christ followers around the world) as one body, no matter where they are from, what they look like and  what church they belong to.  I have qualifications in Theology, Bible and Christian Counseling but find no comparison to the training of the Holy Spirit in every day life.

I am the SeniorMinister of the church “Highway of Hope Christian Church” in Melton, Vic, Australia and also a Director on the board of “Community Care World Mission LTD” (CCWM), a not for profit organisation committed to “unearthing Christs love to the lost the broken and the fallen.” In CCWM I am the Director of the Global Church Network  that with through Gods grace has many churches that belong to this networking and resourcing organisation.  Building bridges of relationship and resourcing with strong foundations in Christ around the world is a passion of mine.

My passion is for the lost, the fallen and the broken to find freedom and healing in Jesus Christ, and for Christians world- wide to be united as God intended.
