INVITE NICOLA TO SPEAK
Imparting the gold from Heaven
I had a dream from 8 years of age to become an Olympian and be the first woman in Australia to jump over 2 metres. Since then, those dreams have been surpassed with a global medal on every major stage and much higher heights.
Within my sporting journey I have interwoven my life story and key lessons through meticulous note taking. I believe my progression on and off the field has the power to inspire others to think outside the box. Every current weakness is an opportunity for growth and breakthrough.
A dream given back to the Lord
Would you like Nicola to speak at your next event?
But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
– Matthew 6:33
With an invitation to minister both to the church and wider settings, it is my heart to:
- Revive faith in the God who fulfils promises.
- Carry testimonies that break off fear in following Jesus.
- Share the gift of a public life surrendered to the call of God.
From sporting success, the opportunity to minister transcended denomination, language, cultural barriers – for just as God had placed me in an international platform in sports, He gave me a key to enter many of His churches with power to help share the gospel to all and be a connecting point to see unity in the church.
In Australia I am based in a local church on the Central Coast of NSW, and in Europe I am often based in Switzerland, partnered closely to the ministry Beyond Gold. Since 2022, my husband Rhys and I have been travelling across Australia, America, Asia and Europe together to minister as one.

We had the honor of partnering with Nicola as she dreamt and prayed, then equipped and catalyzed a group of Christian athletes from many nations to share the Gospel together in their first arena event following a major track meet. Behind the scenes, Nicola prayed and organized others to pray. She helped “coach” the other athletes in preparing their stories. She and her husband Rhys took a big step of faith to secure the arena and worked to pull the pieces together. All of this, while she was in town to compete in the Diamond League Championship. Her bold faith took on a challenge only God could pull off, yet the joy of believing and sacrificing was tangible through Nicola the whole time, affecting everyone that was working together. Nicola has an incredible measure of poise under pressure, humility and grace in leading others, and a deep connection with Jesus which affects HOW she does things. If knowing God’s ways is the indicator of how well one knows Him, Nicola is well down the road of deep friendship with Jesus!We were honored to join and help release the vision God has given her, and we know anyone who partners with her in ministry will experience lasting kingdom fruit!

When I invited Nicola to share her story with my students at St Philip’s Christian College Cessnock, I was excited but had no idea the impact she would have on my students. Her dynamic and engaging style not only held the attention of my students but also sparked genuine interest in Jesus. For 40 minutes after she spoke, Nicola had a line of students wanting to talk with her and ask questions about her faith journey! Nicola’s ability to connect with students of all ages is next to none and I wholeheartedly recommend her for any speaking event. Nicola left a lasting impression on our school community and we are grateful for the opportunity to have hosted such a gifted, humble and grace-filled speaker.
