Wow. Here we are already well into the year.
Firstly, let me congratulate the Churchill crew, ably led by Steve McNeilly, on their vision and faithful planning and promotion and intentional step by step development of the work there. It was very exciting to be part of the opening service where 25 people celebrated together. We pray that the Churchill Fellowship will see great success and fruitfulness, and many souls will come to know Jesus as Lord and Saviour through the ministry there.
The Summer in the Parks outreach has made this a great start to the year as we have extended fellowship to the surrounding community by way of the Love Gippsland coffee van, a sausage sandwich and games and activities for the kids. We engaged with several families and have made some great contacts to follow up. We are praying that we will also see much fruit come from just sharing the love of Jesus with the community in this way. We do plan to have further such outreaches in the future. If you would like to be part of the outreach team, please come see me, there is always an opportunity to serve!!
The main word I received from the Lord for this coming year is FRUITFULNESS. The Lord has spoken to my heart and promised there would be LOADS of fruit. I believe as we keep our eyes focused on Jesus, and our ears open to the leading of the Holy Spirit, this is going to be an amazing year where we see many souls saved, ministries blossom, and dreams and visions come to fruition.
The other word I received was “SHAMELESS AUDACITY”. I was reminded of the story in Luke 11:5-10, and the friend that would not give up asking for help. Verse 8 says in the New Living Translation, “I tell you, even though he will not get up and give you anything, because of your shameless audacity he will surely get up and give you as much as you need.” I believe God is going to be answering some audacious prayers this year. Let us follow Christ’s teaching here, and learn to “ask, seek and knock” and receive the good things that our good Heavenly Father has in store.
So, here we go folks! Let us keep our eyes on Jesus and see where the journey takes us together this year of 2020.
