G’day Praying Partners,

Thank you for your continued prayers for us and our ministry in Australia. We share Paul’s sentiment when he wrote in Rom. 15:30, “I appeal to you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in your prayers to God on my behalf,”. Together – what a beautiful word! How blessed are we that God ordained our Christian journey to be arm in arm, working towards the common goal of proclaiming the gospel. We want you to know that we pray for you as well. Weekly we pray for wisdom for your pastor, finances, pandemic concerns and for each ministry to be a light of the gospel to the community where God has placed you. We couldn’t do this without your prayer support.

Tomorrow we are having a baptism service! It has been tricky with COVID restrictions, but we managed to find a portable baptismal that has been transported to the school for our use. We have 5 people getting baptized – what a blessing! There is one Aussie, one Brazilian, two Filipinos and one Kiwi (New Zealander). Quite the international group! If you see this in time, please be praying as there will be several unsaved people in attendance. 

We’ve had to pull the plug on our Easter outreach. We’re all disappointed but just can’t seem to work it all out with the current situation with COVID. We are putting all our efforts now into our Mini Show in September! We appreciate prayer as we plan.

Just recently we found out we lost a church that supports us. Finances are always tricky when you live halfway around the world from the source of income! Honestly, it’s another opportunity to trust God to provide. And He always does! Prayer allows you to be part of the blessings when God answers, so just passing that along to you.

Strive Together!! Can’t think of a better way to end this update.
