New Adventures in Old Settings

Hey, It’s exciting to be back, even if only in cyberspace.

Before I start rambling on about random things that I’ve been thinking about I thought it would be appropriate to fill you in on where God has led me since I left Narrabeen two years ago.

As many would know after being a ministry apprentice I started bible college at Moore and served as a student minister at All Saints Anglican Church North Epping alongside Roger Green, a former minister at Narrabeen.

The last two years have been full of challenges, great stories and fun times. At North Epping I have grown in many ways. Working in a unique community such as North Epping with it’s village vibe (one road in and out, and everybody knowing everyone else) has been a great blessing. The relationships that I have formed there will benefit my own life for years to come. Working with God’s people, especially the youth has been a huge blessing but also a great challenge as we sought to solidify the group in their own relationship with Jesus but also help them to look outward to their friends who don’t know Jesus. There is much more I could say, but might leave it to a later post.

College has been great, hard, challenging, and at times frustrating. It has been invaluable in it contribution to my understanding of the Gospel. I am truly thankful for all of the friends I have made and the effort that lectures put in to teach us the truth diligently. College is hard and there are many obstacles to manoeuvre around along the way, yet each in each challenge the hand of God is seen at work in my life, making me more like his son Jesus.

Finally I thought it would be good to share what God has in store for me in 2009. I will be continuing at college in thrid year and will be back on the beaches for Church as I serve at St Marks Anglican Church Avalon. This is a great blessing for God and I am truly thankful for his provision. For some of you this means I will see you more and for that I am also thankful. For some more details about my move check my own personal blog.

I want to thank you all for the support and prayer you have given me over the past few years and would ask that you would continue to pray for me as I undertake this change. I also look forward to contriubuting here as a way to keep those who have supported me and also those currious about the appreticship informed.

Thank You.
