About Rick
Name: Rick Hawkinson
Birthday: May 2, 1971
Hobbies & Interest: Music, people, chocolate, any water sport, movies, and trying to be more like Jesus. (Probably not in that order...chocolate may be first.)
January 2006: I was working as an Mechanical Engineer at the BMW manufacturing facility in Greenville/Spartanburg, SC - and leading music for TheWB (high school youth group band at Grace Church)...and had just started to get a bit restless with where God had me, and had been praying that he'd make his path clear.
So...be careful what you pray for because in late Jan, Chuck and Jimmie Lynn Linkston - who had been serving 5 years in Perth, Australia, and who where home for a years rest - asked me to consider coming and leading music for a church they were planting in Fremantle, Australia.
Um...excuse me...you want me to do what?? where??
June 2007 - after a year and a half it took to obtain a work visa - I am now living in Fremantle...and excited to see what God is going to do through churchfreo.
It's been an interesting ride already. Check back frequently and keep up with my journey.
