Here’s something to ponder about this Australia Day.

Traditionally, it’s where we get together with mates, have a BBQ and enjoy our country. I always use this day as a day to thank God for this amazing country and how lucky I am to live here. But I also think it’s a good opportunity to think about where my personal identity comes from. Does it com...

“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6

God is the author of generosity. He gave the greatest and most perfect gift that first Christmas. It wasn't wrapped in a beautiful package and placed under a decorated tree. No, the perfect gift came in the flesh of baby Jesus and was laid in the little wooden manger. This perfect gift would eventually be wrapped with sufferings for our sins; crushed for our iniquities; and endure the cross so we could die to sin and live to his righteousness.

Christmas is a celebration of what God was willing to do to reach out to us because he loved us.

This time of celebration should point us in the same direction God is pointed in: seeking and saving that which is lost, reaching out to the people God has put around us.

God is calling you and me today to so generously love the world that we are willing to reach out to them even if it costs us dearly.

Thank you so much for generously partnering with us in the ministry as together we serve the Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace!

Happy Holidays!

Have you ever wondered why sometimes, as Christians, we struggle to convince our friends or relatives that God is the only answer? When nothing we do or say seems to convince them that following Jesus is the only way to live? Click to link below to know why.

“And you were dead in the trespasses and sins…” (Ephesians 2:1). What an amazing passage of the Bible. These 9 words sum up our state before becoming children of God so perfectly. Before becoming a Christian we were all dead weren’t we? The thing about being dead is, well, you are dead. Ther...

Our hearts are full again as every week, we see the hand of God in this ministry. As always, there are so many things happening and so much to come in the coming weeks. Praise the Lord for John's meaningful time with Bruce, our National Coordinator in the US. They facilitated the first seminar of Year 2 of EvangelismSHIFT in the church in Washington. They also facilitated the first seminar of Year 1 in the new church in Indianapolis. Bruce is now the lead facilitator in his first two churches working with Levi, who came out from the previous church that took the EvangelismSHIFT course. Things are really progressing in the US and we praise the Lord for that.

Last weekend, John and Josh had an outstanding final seminar at a church in Fiji. They were blown away by what God is doing, the steps and plan they were taking and seeing the real commitment to be a witnessing and multiplying community for God's glory!

Aaron, Mike, Andrew and the leaders of Journey Church Australia are getting ready for the Year 1 final seminar of EvangelismSHIFT next Saturday, 19th of November, please pray for that.

Aaron and John will lead the next Best Practice Zoom for all the people of SHIFTm2M and EvangelismSHIFT as a follow-up, which they do every quarter.

Next week, our team will be away to have a meeting about project planning to discuss our Mission Critical Goal that we are working on now. Please pray that the Lord's hand will be on that meeting. Please pray for God's clear direction and that our path will be laid out for the coming year.

After that, John will be speaking at the Cru Men's gathering at St. Paul's Anglican church on Living as Witness and about Life2Life.

There's a lot of things going on, as you can see, and these are all through the Lord and in his ministry. Praise the Lord for his work!

We thank him for calling each of us, and of course, we thank him for you! Your prayers and giving make it possible for us to do our work.

To increase your impact in partnership with AFCI, please put us on your regular prayer list, and partner with us at www.afci.com.au/give.

Let’s keep making an impact for God in this world!
