Straya Mate

I've been living in Tamworth, NSW for a while now. It's pretty amazing to see how God has brought me here to a place where I can serve Him and His people in such a different way. I'm studying PTC at the minute and going through The Introduction To The Bible as my first module. It's pretty amazing to study. I keep getting excited each time I come to read the textbook and the passages that it's asking to be read. This week, we where looking at God's creation in Gen 1-11, then looking at the new creation in Revelation 21&22. Stopping a while in Isaiah 65 to see the prophecy of the new heaven being declared so early on. It really excited me, but created so much more of an urgency to share the gospel with people. I mean, Jesus WILL return. He will bring with Him a new order and a hope of no more pain. But because My Lord is coming, it makes it so much more important to reach the people who don't yet know Him!

I'm loving working in the school environment, it is such a blessing and comes with real joy-filled moments. Like some of the year 10 girls inviting me to come and watch them do their commerce presentations - I felt like such a proud mummy figure to see all the hard work that they had put in! And they were delighted that I had come to watch them! (I'm finding it's the little things that we can do for the girls that creates opportunities for speaking truth into their lives.)

I've had the opportunity to share my testimony twice formally while here and then I got to share with the girls when they informed me that I looked like I once was a rebel... That made for an interesting conversation, but I really hope and pray that they may continue to ask questions about who God is and what he can do for them in their lives.

Oz, the update.

The above photo is a what arrived in the post this morning from Australia. The journey is getting closer.

Please pray for the visa process which can now officially begin.

Please pray that I will be able to glorify God during the process.

Journey to Oz...

For some who know me, you will know that God has been doing some strange and wonderful things in my life over the last few years. Leading up to this point in time.

I graduated from Uni last October with a degree in Youth and Children's Studies with Theology, so that means I've been qualified for 1 year now.

I've been praying for what the next stage of my journey will be, and now God seems to be taking me on a journey to Australia.
I have been offered a placement in a school called Calrossy Anglican School in Tamworth, New South Wales. God willing, I will be starting my appointment on 20th January 2014.

The next stage of this adventure means a visa process. Over the next few months on the lead up to my move, I will be posting updates regarding my visa and other things with the hope that those who pray, may be lead to pray for this journey. That God's will be done in all of the admin and financial aspects.
