Canberra: Day 2 & 3

Well, much has happened over the last 2 days in Canberra. Monday was gentle ease into the week – we spent some time getting to know the Crossroads team, doing some walk-up evangelism training with the students at FOCUS at the Australian National University, then in the evening a few of us were able to [...]

Answering tough questions in Canberra

Yesterday was a great start to mission in Canberra. Both morning services went well with Crossroads South having their biggest service yet. Much of the day was spent meeting and getting to know the families we will be living with this week. Kate and Cameron were lucky enough to be able to join a family [...]

Behind the scenes: Canberra

Today was our final team meeting before we all arrive at Crossroads Church, Canberra, on Sunday morning. We’re all really excited about the chance to partner with Crossroads for the week and we would love your prayers as we do so. Please pray for us as we prepare talks, kids programs, for door knocking, walk up evangelism and [...]

Mission in the nation’s capital

Once again the time has come for Moore College to send us out into the world (literally) to partner with churches for a week of mission. While many of our teams will be Sydney based, there are a few teams heading a little further. This year my mission team is heading to Canberra to work [...]

When things don’t go as planned…

On Monday morning the team went to the unusual community of Macquarie Links to do some letter box drops. The reason this community is so unusual is that it’s a gated community that surrounds a beautiful looking golf course. House prices in the suburb starts at the $500 000 mark, which is highly unusual for [...]

Thinking about church planting

Yesterday our team spent some time hearing about a church plant gone wrong from the minister who eventually made the decision to shut it down. It was interesting listening to his reflections on what may have gone wrong and how it do it better but the most striking statement for me was his warning to [...]

Mission 2010

It starts on Sunday. I both love and hate it at the same time. The fact that the timetable we got last night looks strangely different to the one we got last week frustrates me. The fact that we have 3 women’s groups running simultaneously on Thursday is an interesting development. One of the biggest frustrations is [...]

Mission – Day 8

Well we have come to the last day of mission – and it has been quite a week! Friday was all about Barker College. We went and hung out at year 10 chapel – Steve Blyth preached up a storm and Andrew gave a great testimony. We they hit up their lunch time group where [...]

Mission – Day 6

. So here we are at day 6. What a great week it has been!! Wednesday was about the best day of my life (slight exaggeration but it was a good day). Chapel at Abbotsleigh seemed to go well. I had fun, girls seemed to be listening, lots of good feedback was given. Following this [...]

Abbotsleigh Chapel – 1 John 1:8-9

Thanks for all your prayers for my talk at Abbotsleigh. For anyone who is interested here is my talk. This was for high school girls, most of whom are not Christians, but who hear the gospel in chapel every week. If you have feedback you would like to give feel free to email rather than [...]
