We've been seeing a lot of our good friends the Blakstons lately, and that is always so much fun. They are planning on moving to Frankston within the next few weeks, Lord willing, so you could pray with us and them that Jono would find a good job and that they could also find a suitable house. We are really hoping they will be able to live closeby. It will be such a huge blessing to have them laboring with us here in Frankston! We are VERY excited about the Frankston RP church being officially organized on the 2nd of February. We will be starting morning services here in Frankston on 20 January. Please pray with us that God will be working in expanding His Kingdom here! Pray that we as a church would grow in our love for people -- both one another and the unbelievers around us. Along with that, we need to remember the McKinnon congregation. For the last couple years, the Frankston group has been meeting on Lord's day mornings with the congregation in McKinnon. It is going to be hard for both sides to go from a small group to two much smaller groups. Please pray that God will be at work in McKinnon. Pray that He will equip Alastair McEwen as he serves there. A woman from Frankston and a man from Geelong have both been diagnosed with cancer recently. Please pray for them and their families as they go through this very difficult trial. Pray that God would be very near unto them and that He would place His healing hand upon them. Pray that the other members of the congregations would be an encouragement and support to them. You could also pray for me. I have a big-ish decision to make in the next couple months: whether to stay here in Australia for uni or to go back to the States. I've been accepted to Purdue University and Geneva College and am in the process of applying for scholarships and financial aid. I've been thinking a lot more about staying here. If you ask my sisters, they will tell you that I change my mind almost every day. I am praying that God will make it very clear as to what He wants me to do. I am definitely seeking lots of counsel and getting many different responses...but it's been very good. One friend told me to remember "God is calling you to serve Him. Location is secondary." Our church is organizing a bike ride for this Saturday. It should be interesting after our last experience...riding 21 k's up and down sand hills. We figure it couldn't be any worse than that. We've been encouraged to bring along friends -- especially non-Christians. Pray that we could be a witness to anyone who might come along and that we would glorify God in the fellowship that we have together. Charity | 2:22 pm Comments-[ comments.] |
