Cape Town

So it's been a couple of weeks now since Colour ended! For many of you it was a "three day experience” that happened last month or so. Hopefully it was a wonderful experience, hopefully something magnificent and eternal happened in your lovely heart, hopefully you were strengthened and inspired for the season ahead, hopefully your world will never be the same because of what was either watered or ignited.

Twenty five years! That’s how long it has been since we started our little church in Baulkham Hills. I can still remember the search for a hall in which we could begin our Sunday night outreach into the Hills District. We called it Hills Christian Life Centre back then.

Last Friday night, Bobbie and I were in Melbourne for the 25th Anniversary of Alun and Joan Davies as pastors of Faith Christian Church in Dandenong www.faithcc.com.au. You cover a lot of distance, meet a lot of people, and face a lot of seasons over 25 years.
