At "Chris and Rowena Travels", we believe church is more than a building—it is a community of believers growing together in Christ. As we travel Australia, we remain committed to staying connected with God's people through fellowship, prayer, worship, communion, and the teaching of God's Word.

Whether you're parked beside a beach, camped in the outback, living remotely, working online, or simply looking for genuine Christian community, you're welcome to journey with us.

Let us introduce Pastor Kierohn and Danel Sims.

In December 2024, Pastor Kierohn, the Leadership Team, and the congregation at Covenant Life Church sent us out to support our vision for what is now known as "Chris and Rowena Travels."

We were honoured to be sent out by the church to follow what the Lord was showing us. They are great cheerleaders who are always keen to hear feedback on our progress. We catch up with everyone from time to time whenever we can.

Pastor Kierohn Sims grew up in Auckland, New Zealand, where he gained his theological degree. Starting as a youth pastor, Kierohn's desire to fulfil the Lord's work grew. God opened a door for Pastor Kierohn, his wife Danel and son Michael to move to WA, Australia.

In 2024, Pastor Kierohn stepped into a new role as Senior Pastor of Covenant Life Church. They have since given birth to their new baby.

Covenant Life Church is located at 33 Wallington Road, Balga, WA. The church has a strong outreach connection with the local schools and members of the community.

I was told that "Retirement is something you do when you die."

We needed clarity, vision and purpose when we began to launch our new assignment as caravan & camping rookies, currently doing shakedown trips in Western Australia as we prepare for the Big Lap across Australia, where we explore the country and share our dream of the grey nomad lifestyle.

We had already set up our systems for individuals and couples who want to take their entrepreneurial skills to the next level.

It wasn't long after we were prayed out from Covenant Life Church that we began to connect with Pastors Gavin and Karen Stuckey. They are the pastors of "Church Gathering Online."

Gavin and Karen Stuckey are passionate about seeing the Church reflect the New Testament model—on earth as it is in heaven. Together, they carry a deep love for God’s people and a vision for authentic, Spirit-led community.

Based in regional South Australia, Gavin and Karen are blessed with three wonderful children, two dearly loved in-laws, and five beautiful grandchildren. They enjoy travelling across Australia, often referred to as “the Great Southland of the Holy Spirit.”

Both Gavin and Karen have completed Bible College training in Adelaide and have faithfully served in a range of leadership roles within the Church over many years. Their heart is to encourage, equip, and see the Body of Christ grow in unity, maturity, and mission.

Church Gathering Online reaches across Australia and more than 20 countries worldwide.

USA, Philippines, UK, South Africa, Canada, India, Malaysia, Germany, New Zealand, Netherlands, Sweden, Ethiopia, Kenya, Japan, Papua New Guinea, Trinidad, Tobago, Nigeria, Singapore, Zambia, Norway and Iraq.

One of our roles at Church Gathering Online is to help establish Christian Hosts Australia.

We help registered campers connect with fellow campers, discover great campsites and accommodation, and make every camping trip an unforgettable adventure across Australia. We also stay at various hosts so we can review and promote them.

Best of all, full access to our online directory and interactive map is 100% free.

Here's the Concept...

• Travellers - Search for places to stay across Australia and connect directly with hosts.

• Hosts - List your land, home, or space for short stays—free, by donation, fee or simply as an act of hospitality.

• Connect - All arrangements are made privately between you and the host.

We have a vision to form the "Christian Caravan, Camping & RV Fellowship Australia Group", which is an initiative modelled after the Australian Caravan Club Bushrangers Muster | Freedom, Friendship & Travel.

We're in the pioneering stage at the moment. "Don't despise the day of small beginnings." "Small things grow big." "Without faith it is impossible to please God." "Test and measure what works and what doesn't!"

The journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step. WATCH THIS SPACE!!!
