Home Sweet Home
My first six months of 2007 was pretty hectic. I have been to 8 countries in 6 months and ministry was simply choc-a-bloc! So I was I was really glad to be back in Melbourne.
July is home sweet home!
July is book-writing time. I aim to complete my draft for the next book and have it published by the end of December 07. The new book is entitled: "Money Matters.....Really" - it is a book on Christian perspective to managing finance. This book is really born out of the many Finance Workshops I have developed and conducted in many countries. Matter of fact, Finance is the most popular workshop!
July is also set aside for me to paint at least 5 oil paintings to raise fund to help the poor and ministries in the Third World.
Really, July is rest time - having said that, I was fully involved in weekend ministry - exciting ministry as I allowed the Holy Spirit to minister in and through me into local churches here.
Church of Christ, Clayton
I was privileged to minister at the Clayton Church of Christ SURGE [Young Adults] camp at Forest Edge. It was awesome time to see the Holy Spirit moving and touching individuals for His glory. God has seeded something good in many people in the camp.
The guys were extremely generous indeed. Thanks Wayne!

Hope Christian Centre
My wife and I had a great time at Ps Dave Aberle's church in Cranbourne. It was a wonderful Sunday morning service. I was privileged to pray for many people.
Ps Dave is a great guy. I like his spirit and passion.

Congregation at Hope CC
LifeHouse CC
I was back to LifeHouse Church on the 2nd Sunday of July - it was a wonderful time of connecting with a great church and helping find clarity and the touch of God in many lives.
Ps Richard and Helen were away but others took really good care of Dorothy and I. We have a great time at Albert Haddad's home over lunch. His wife cooked a fantastic meal. Thanks Guys!

LifeHouse meets at Coburg Town Hall
Melbourne Life Church
I was extremely pleased to be speaking in this church. It had great atmosphere. The place reeled with passion for Jesus!
What an incredible testimony from Indra - a converted Muslim who is now radical for Jesus. She spoke so well, I did not feel the need to preach after her session. God is good. We had a great time touching lives.
That night, I spoke at DMS - it was just simply wonderful to see a large group of younger people learning and training for ministry.
Pastors Bram and Dianne were great hosts - and very generous too! Thanks guys.

ECC Casey Camp
This was relaxing time for Dorothy and I. We were attending Ken's church camp. It was a lovely time sitting and gleaning off Ps Don Gall who was the camp speaker. It was so nice - for a change - to be on the receiving end instead of the giving side.
I did one workshop but the rest was fun - a time to sit back.
We also celebrated Carol's birthday in the camp. Many happy returns, Carol!
Weather was cold....too cold. We have had really icy weather of late and camp at Warburton was cold indeed.

Cold, cold day - this is what morning looks like at camp.
Great Snow Trip
My wife Dorothy and I joined Hope City Church, Dandenong for a trip to Mt. Buller. What a great day! The snow was falling. It was freezing cold but we have plenty of fun. We had a good lunch up at the alps.
