He is a COSMOS (Avondale College Student Missionary Club) icon and now, at almost 97 years of age, a published author.

Charles Pointon launched A friend in high places during assembly on the Lake Macquarie campus this past Wednesday (August 22). The book, edited by Laurie Meintjes, is about adventure with God, angels and prayer.
Avondale College president Dr John Cox states in the foreword, "Charles' book, so aptly titled, is a heart-warming account of a rewarding and fulfilled life, infused with an extraordinary spirit of enthusiasm and godliness."
Avondale Music owner, Peter Dixon, initially encouraged Charles to document his life and helped fund the publication of the book. "Charles is a remarkable person, and his life is a source of inspiration that prompted me to tell him to write a book," says Peter.

Charles celebrates his birthday on September 10. "I have always wanted to serve the Lord and other people in need around the world," he said in his speech at the launch. "I still want to raise funds for COSMOS."
A friend in high places costs $10 and is available from Avondale Music. (02 4977 1398). Profits from sales will go to COSMOS.
