Team Update: Friends At Faith
25 March 2008 Filed in: Team Update
Faith Baptist Church
in Dundas invited
the team to a Missions Dinner last week. The event
was lively and full of exotic foods and fun
activities. One highlight was the church's
missions report, which noted about 25% of the
church's income is designated toward supporting
missionaries. For a small church, this was very
encouraging and shows a solid commitment to
supporting missions. The dinner also featured
video and photo reports from missionaries. We gave
a progress update concerning Rouse Hill and I
spoke briefly on evangelism.
Faith Baptist has also committed to sponsoring our work in Rouse Hill. We're grateful for their help and look forward to partnering with them for the advance of the Gospel. Thank you, friends at Faith!

Scripture Class Update
04 March 2008
I love being back in
school! Actually, when I'm honest, it's really
sometime around the second week of January that I
start wondering how long until school starts.
Already though my heart has been broken by one
year one student. We were chatting about why
it's important to learn about the Bible and his
answer was: "So we'll be able to do what's right and
God won't hate us." How sad that he thinks God
would hate him. We had a short chat right then
and there about how God loves us very much and even
though He doesn't like it when we do bad things, He
still loves us and nothing could change that.
Hopefully by the end of the year all of the
children will have a better understanding of how much
God loves us and will want to obey Him out of
love--not fear.
