Mission


This Sunday we leave for a one week mission to a Chinese church in Sydney.
There are 14 wonderful people in my team. I'm really looking forward to putting into practise some of the things that we've been learning over the last month or two.
The biggest challenge for me will be preaching a 15-20 minute Evangelical talk on "if anyone is to come after me he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me". Its my first time preaching and quiet a strong message. I've been rewriting and rewriting the sermon to the point of quiet some confusion.
But I'm reminded to trust in him. Its actually quiet hard sometimes to put things simply when there is so much to say. I think preaching on this verse (and the surrounding ones) for 3 hours would be much easier than 15 minutes.
Anyway like always this is another wonderful opportunity to trust in Him. His message and His servant. I'm looking forward to all of these 'trials of many kinds'.

Please pray our mission trip. We are going to east Linfield to a Chinese church.
  • Pray that we would be able to serve the church in any way possible
  • Pray that peoples hearts would be softened during the many outreach events over the week
  • Pray that our team would grow in our faith and character.
