David Fowler
David Fowler and his wife Anna work with AFES (Australian Fellowship of Evangelical Students) on the Sippy Downs campus of the University of the Sunshine Coast. USC was one of the last of the big universities in Australia to have full-time AFES worker assigned.
The work of AFES is to engage with university students at a critical point in their lives, to introduce them to Jesus. This is done through Bible studies, Bible talks, conferences, prayer meetings, camps and outreach events.
