Pastor and Church Family,
Once again it is time for a letter to go out to our churches. What I would like to start with is deputation. Having 20 years in the country of Australia our goal was, has been, and will always be to prepare ourselves to preach regularly every week, to evangelize as well as a disciple, to bring our people step by step to a closer walk with the Lord. Our goal (and I know yours as well) is to perfect the saints to do the work of the ministry. You know your people, you are growing together and you have a plan. Week by week you know what you have to do to get them to grow and change.
Deputation is so different, you are usually in one church for about one hour sharing what you believe God wants you to do. You share a message from God's Word and then you are on your way. You often wonder what that message did or has done or is doing. But one thing you do know is that His Word will never come back void.
I know that God is faithful, even when you can not see everything happening that you want, and at your time table. People getting saved, lives changed, and all the while God is preparing His servants for His work. Along the way our Lord is raising up other believers who pray and give to win lost Australians with the Gospel of Christ. It might not be happening as quickly as we would want but God is giving us churches that are partnering with us to get the job done. As a result we are at nearly 48% of our needed support and look forward to many more churches joining us. Thank you!
In Christ we Serve,
