Busy Sundays

Today Chris preached at the John Wesley Wesleyan Methodist church in Perth for their 10:00am service. It was a fantastic time for us to catch up with families that we haven't seen in a while.
We stepped down part time working at John Wesley when we returned 22 months ago, so that we could work full time at the church plant we pastor, The Landsdale Community Church. But, we still try once every couple of months to visit and catch up with how everyone is doing. However, Pastor Phil Hotchkin is in Papau New Guinea, so Chris will be filling in this week and next at the churches he pastors.
It was a lovely service. It was a fantastic time for us to worship without us having to be leading, and Chris delivered an excellent sermon on "Living the HD life". One of the scriptures he used that spoke to me was John 10:10 10 "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." (NIV).

After the serice in the city, we quickly prepared dinner, and snacks, and threw our games in the car, and headed to church to have a family game day and church afterwards. One of my favourite moments was playing guestures with the kids and seeing all their crazy actions!

Although we didn't have the best turnout for the games night, we did have for the first time, people text and say they weren't coming and why! There were 6 families who couldn't come,and it was very exciting to know that they cared enough that they werren't coming to let us know... God is working in these peoples lives! And, he is working through us, I am just amazing that God chooses to use me on a daily basis to share Jesus with all these families here in Australia! It is truly amazing. And, it is only possible becuase of all the people who pray for us back home, and especially possible because of those who support us!

We so appreciate you, and the impact you have had on our ministry here in Australia!
