Dave Fagg

Dave Fagg & his wife, Kylie, have lived and worked with marginalised people since they moved into a communal household in their late teens. They now live with Seeds Bendigo in Long Gully, a housing commission area indave's head regional Victoria.

Originally from Melbourne, Dave’s lifeĀ  was heavily shaped by the Blackburn Community Network fromĀ  1995-2001 before moving to a lead tenant house with Youth For Christ. These experiences strengthened his resolve to live out a Christ-centred life amongst the marginalised, and also made abundantly clear his inadequacy to do so.

Armed with these 2 insights, Dave & Kylie travelled to the USA, Europe & South Africa in search of communities living out the good news of community and love for the outsider. After 10 months they returned with lessons learnt from the Los Angeles Catholic Worker and Youth For Christ, Durban.

In 2005 Dave & Kylie moved to Long Gully. With Seeds Bendigo, they participate in and initiate relationships and projects amongst their community. Dave is passionate about a life of mission amongst the generationally poor, the transformation of neighbourhoods through Christ-like compassion, and developing a theology & spirituality that both forms and sustains this life.

Dave & Kylie have a garden, a dog, a foster-son and two foster-grandchildren.
