Our journey of return to Sydney is well on its way. Lots of work to get everything packed or sold. Also, traveling a fair bit visiting friends and saying good bye.
I have enjoyed listening to someone else preach over the past two Sundays. That's something that rarely happens for me and I have enjoyed it.
January is summertime vacation in Australia. Everyone is enjoying themselves at the beach and spending time with their families who don't return to school until after the 31st.
We don't have all our finances organized yet but that is par for the course for mission work. When you commit to church planting you make a pact with God and it is cemented together with love, faith and hope. I have a plan but I also am convinced that God has a plan for Julie and I and He will reveal the details of that plan in His own good time. In the mean time, we know where we are going and we have friends and family there to help us. That's more than Abraham had when God sent Him out.
My mind has been on the Northside Church and I am inspired by the vision of it that I am seeing. I am getting a very positive feeling about what God can do there. I am usually a positive person but this time I am even more so. I really think God will do an amazing work with the few people He has gathered and will gather many more in our first year. Praise God.
