I’m really grateful for the community at church – you guys have been really encouraging and loving! In mid-Jan, Nate,Continue reading “Preeti’s January 2023 Update”

Hello Gospel partners, These past few weeks have seen me kick off MTS training and ministry, which has been possible because of your generous partnering in prayer and financial support – thank you! During January, before my regular responsibilities at St John’s amped up, I served on a mission team in Singleton – which wasContinue reading “Nic’s January 2023 Update”

Prayer Points: Playtime One of the best things about doing MTS at St John’s is the scope to gospel and minister to people who may be very different to us. As I reflected on these past two years, I recognised that I did not have much experience in relating to young mothers and their children. So inContinue reading “Nathan’s November-December Update 2022”

Prayer Points: The story: MTS Recruit Well here’s the story of how our plans for 2023 unfolded.  Heading into the conference, I was praying hard for God to raise gospel workers for the harvest – particularly to do MTS at St John’s for 2023.

Here are a few snapshots of what the past two months have looked like for me: Leadership Training Day & Leadership Pipeline Early in June we ran a church-wide leadership training day.

Friday Hangs in Term 2  In early July, 42 youth and 13 leaders headed up to the Collaroy Centre for Camp Engage! This was a great and exciting opportunity for our youth to spend extended time in fellowship and God’s Word together. The topic we looked at this year was called Defining God- which involvedContinue reading “Victor’s June/July 2022 Update”

Giving my first sermon at church I gave my first sermon at St John’s in May, on Ecclesiastes 7:1-8:1. It wasn’t an easy passage to preach on. It required a lot of hard work in prayer and sitting under God’s word. That being said, it was a delight to prepare. I am incredibly thankful for howContinue reading “Nathan’s April/May 2022 Update”

Friday Hangs in Term 2  Since Friday Hangs has kicked off in Term 2, God has been really kind in helping us reach out to the local youth of Parramatta. We’ve seen around 7 students from these schools become quite regular and God has provided really awesome gospel conversations with a couple of them inContinue reading “Victor’s April/May 2022 Update”
