Mission

We have just come back from a few weeks away. The first part of this was college mission. We went to Narrabri, which is about 7 hours drive North-West of Sydney, in country N.S.W. The population of the town is about 13 000. There is a lot of cotton and wheat farmers, as well as your usual tradies, teachers etc. In other words, it kind of reminded us of home! It was so nice and small, and most people knew each other, or knew of them :)

We worked along side the Anglican church there, doing all different sorts of things. We went along to the many services, did pastoral visits, walk up evangelism, training seminars, school scripture, youth group, kids club, aged care etc. There was a big mixture of a lot of things, so we were busy most of the time. Yet, it was an enjoyable busy. The church there has remand faithful to the gospel, and you can see that in the lives of the people. It was so great to get to know the people in Narrabri and hear about their lives. The sense that I got, was that their lives are hard, yet they have not lost their joy in Christ. That is what gets them through and has enabled them to stand firm. This was such an encouraging thing to witness and be a part of.

Away

Over the next few weeks we will be away from SMBC! Firstly we are heading to Narrabri for college mission. We will be working along side the church there getting involved in their day to day things and learning about ministry in the country. So we are looking forward to that and will learn lots through it. :) Then we are going to slowly make our way home, with a bit of a camping road trip. So we will let you know how it goes… :)
