Nightmares…

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

I have two recurring nightmares that pop up from time to time, both of them I find quite ironic. One of my reoccurring nightmares has to do with public speaking. Usually I find myself, the day of a message having not yet prepared. Sometimes it is a Sunday message but more often it is a one-off event like a wedding, funeral, or speaking at a different group. The second of my reoccurring nightmares deals with missing an airline flight, either showing up with out my passport or being delayed in some unusual way. These nightmares seem ironic because God has appointed me to be an international missionary church planter.

For the last month or more I have been plagued with an unusual amount of nightmares in these two themes. I would ask you to pray for me as I continue teaching and for spiritual protection for my family as we prepare to fly out to the states for a few weeks this summer.

I am asking for prayer because the only explanation I have for our family’s unusual health, and safety is the diligent prayer cover we have received from people around the world. Thank you for interceding on my/our behalf.

PS. Feel free to pray other prayers for us as well:-)

Birthday Evangelism

Saturday, May 24th, 2008

Our kids were invited to the neighbours birthday party this afternoon. The dress up theme was ‘Ancient Egypt’. Most of the girls looked like Cleopatra wanna-be’s…

Like good missionaries we sent our kids lightly dressed up as Hebrew Slaves…

(I thought it was funny…)

It has now been one year since we moved back into the old red church building on Great George Street. After planning and permission we spent all last week, from early in the mornings until late at night remodeling the front of the church building.

Tim Bailey lead the rebuilding efforts on our non-existent budget using whatever we already had or reusing the things which we tore apart. So many people gave time to pound nails, to tidy, to climb ladders, to demolish, to rebuild, to do whatever needed doing. I am so amazed by the enthusiasm and hard work of the people in our church.

Thank you to all who prayed and all who worked so hard!!!
