We are both originally from New Zealand, but we have moved around with Harry's work, living in Toowoomba for 13 years, Perth for 5 years, and Brunei for 3.5 years. We are now based in Brisbane. In Brunei, we were part of a rich faith community, and after moving to Brisbane in 2000, Mary heard about the Teams movement at Mass. She thought it would enrich our spiritual life and provide an opportunity to meet other church members. It was a blessing for Harry because, with his international rotation and his time at home being just under four weeks, the monthly Teams meetings gave him a chance to mix and make new friendships, which importantly helped our marriage relationship. The sharing and support between our team members are like family.

John and Roula are the Regional Couple for the ACT-NSW Region of TEAMS, which includes Canberra in the Australian Capital Territory and Sydney in New South Wales.

The Vic East Regional Team oversees Teams in Melbourne and Gippsland, Victoria. Over 50 years ago, my late husband Bob and I joined a group of five couples from our Parish when our children were young. We sought to deepen our marriages and our sense of belonging to a faith community. Over the years, we have celebrated together, grieved, and supported one another as loved ones have passed away. I have been fortunate to participate in activities of the International Movement and have witnessed how Teams has been a gift to people worldwide.
