Born to devoted and loving parents Pierre Auvergne and Lynne Adele Thackwray. I was the middle child between two girls. I used to like to tell my sisters I was the bodacious burger patty between two stale buns. Growing up I found freedom as many young boys do by cycling down the street and turning the corner into the unknown and adventure.
At a young age God stirred my heart about Africa. I dreamed of traveling the world. I dreamed of photographing it. I dreamed of filming big cats and telling people about Jesus. This has all come to pass, but I know that it is only the beginning. My encounters with God over the years has made me hungry for His presence, There’s nothing this world can offer that comes close to it. I love to see others in it too and finding their purpose.
Thank you for your prayers and support.
Joel
