Paul & Rosemary Whincop.
Both Paul and Rosemary were brought up in Christian homes where God's values and precepts were taught to them for the time they were born. They both gave their lives to Christ at an early age - Paul at a YFC camp on the Gold Coast. Paul's involvement with Youth for Christ goes back to 1970. His family had been involved in YFC since the 1950's. He met his wife Rosemary a few short years after that camp, at a Brisbane YFC program where they were involved in the "Life Spectrum Singers" together. Paul proposed to Rosemary at that same campsite and they were married on 15th December, 1973. They have four married children and four grandchildren. Paul has been a builder since 1977 and is still involved in the Building industry. Paul and Rosemary are actively involved in Gold Coast Youth for Christ as board members and direct the Touring Teams ministry arm of GCYFC. Rosemary is a teacher and runs a "Communication and Conflict Resolution" course with each Touring Team, which helps them last the year together.

Ben & Cindy Whincop.
Ben & Cindy Whincop were both brought up in Christian families, with parents who were actively involved with Youth for Christ since they were teenagers. This grounded them strongly in their faith and in the belief that we were commissioned to share our faith to the rest of the world.
Ben and Cindy both toured with Gold Coast Youth for Christs' Turning Point Touring Teams in 1999 with Damaskus & in 2000 with Matiniah, and were also involved with the 2001/2002 Youth for Christ Youth Guidance Christmas Camp. After getting to know each other whilst they were in full-time ministry with the touring teams in 1999 & 2000, they were married in June 2001.
Ben and Cindy now have a new member of their family, little Seth.  Ben is now full time in the music industry and Cindy is enjoying being a full time mum.
