Mitch Russell About Love.

I want to share a thought about love. So, often I have found myself getting worried about how much love I have to give. How much I spread my love around to my friends and family, the people closest too me and, indeed, how much of that love I sed in God’s direction. What about loving someone I barely know? If I already have five or six really close friendships it possible for me to have anything leftover for a newcomer, or anything to spend on someone in passing. I have another recurring fear (in… Continue

Christine Kelly PNG

Hey everyone, I'm learning a lot here at reef to outback...lectures have been great as usual. Since my last post, I've seen some cool aussie animals and got to hold a koala bear, snake, and baby croc. check out the pics on facebook! The last few weeks we have really seen God provide, and all of the finances to get us to Papau New Guinea came in. God worked out every detail and really blessed our group. We leave tonight at 10:30 to drive up to Cairnes, then fly out tomorrow morning to Papau New… Continue

Aaron M The Relevance Of Jesus Second Coming To Our Generation: now what? (Matthew 24-25)

In my previous article, I sought to establish that Jesus’ Second Coming is, indeed, very relevant to our generation now. I did not, however, provide much application... what does it actually mean for us, here and now, for it to be relevant? In other words... what are we to do, knowing that we are in the beginning of the transition period that will end when Jesus establishes His… Continue

Aaron M The relevance of Jesus' Second Coming to our generation

"Studying Jesus' Second Coming has no real impact on us, now, and is therefore irrelevant."
I hear this all too often, or something similar. I'm sure you have too, or maybe that is your belief and you have said it yourself? I believe that this is not only an un-Biblical, but a very dangerous position to hold as a Christian in this day and age. Some will have objections to this, of course... probably the strongest being from the camp of Preterism, who in a nutshell belie… Continue

Ryan & Adriel Booker On a personal note

Flash forward: Moving house at 8 months pregnant?! In a month’s time we’ll be moving house! But first, some history… Late last year God began speaking to us about getting a house. We were hazy on the details but we began to pray and seek the Lord about what this meant for us. Though we felt that buying… Continue

North QLD Outreach Team Airlie Beach

Wow, I can't believe that today is already the last day of our time here in Airlie... It has been a blast getting to know the DTS at the Whitsunday base, as well as stay in their beautiful house. We started off the week with school programs at Whitsunday Christian College, the kids loved us as Nicole talked about God being our father, using "Finding Nemo" and an analogy. We also got the ch… Continue

Helen Middleton God is so generous!!

So, we are just a week an a half away from heading to Papua New Guinea for our first outreach and I am once again blown away by God's generosity toward me and the generosity of those I know!! In the past week I have seen over $1500 come in in donations towards getting me to PNG! I love that God always provides for all that I need, I even found out that I needed to get my passport renewed before I could go just last week and the money for that came in too!! As a team we are still needing to see… Continue

Aaron M 95 Theses To The Evangelical Church by Greg Gordon

"I have been writing this volume while residing in Germany for a teaching trip. I am humbled by penning these 95 theses in the same country as Martin Luther did many years ago. I submit these to the evangelical church of our day and pray that God would allow anything of truth in these pages to bend and change men's hearts back to God." - Greg Gordon - http://www.sermonindex.net **

Mike & Jessica Murray North America Tour

We were really stoked to be able to catch up with a lot of you on different stops of our tour. Thanks so much for those of you that came out to our shows! The focus of our tour was to grow our influence as bands and to use that influence to raise awareness for the health issues in Papua New Guinea. We were also able to empower people to make a real and practical difference by offering a few ways for them to be involved with the YWAM Marine Reach medical ship that will be heading to PNG next year… Continue

October DTS Against the Grind

A couple posts ago we mentioned about the really exciting opportunity we have to reach out to the youth in Townsville through a program called "Youthstreet" Well since we have been here, we not only have had the chance to reach out to the youth here that way. But we have had the privilege recently to help out with a city wide skate/bmx/scooter competition/music festival called "Against the Grind" that people from our base and the Townsville City Council started up! It was such an exciting thin… Continue

Analiese Germany

Hey friends :) I feel God calling me to GO for Him. My heart is already overseas. I am going to be going on a two week missions trip to Germany in the spring of 2010. The entire trip is through my church and will cost 2,500. I am planning on staying after the trip is "over" though for about 6 months. (The latter part is still being worked out, thus is not set in stone yet.) I have felt a calling to missions for forever and fell in love with Germany at age 8. This is an enormous opportunity for m… Continue

Helen Middleton Did someone say PNG?

I know it has been a long time since I updated this, things have been kinda crazy around here the past 3 weeks, in a good way, but it has left my time for updating my page to very little! The school is trucking along and I am having a blast getting to know 36 new people and seeing God do amazing things in their lives already. We are in week 4 of lectures and are learning all about Missions this week, what does it mean to be 'in' missions and looking at the need around the world. It ties in real… Continue
