Lincoln Mellors, who is part of our faith community at The Salvation Army Stafford, has signed up for his third year with Red Frogs which seeks to provide invaluable support and safety to many young people who choose to celebrate the end of their 12 years of schooling by attending "Schoolies" on the Gold Coast.

Lincoln was first part of Red Frogs team in 2021: "It was an opportunity for me to see what mission ministry was like and to see other Christians from other denominations unite under one cause - probably my favourite part - to safeguard and care for school leavers. 

He was part of the team last year and this year steps into a team leader role:"I had missed 2022 due to starting full-time work with no leave available."

"I have 'red frogged' outside of schoolies at football matches, university balls and Christmas events," Lincoln said.
