Towards an Unshakeable Kingdom
The team took the opportunity to explain why they, as Christians, were doing disaster relief and explained how many people around the world loved the villagers and had contributed generously.
In a temporary place
Speaking and sharing with some of these asylum seekers, we realised the there were common questions we all shared about our lives. We were all in a temporary place, wondering about our and our children's futures.
The church continues
This church community was eager to gather and learn more about this Prince of Peace, and not even physical distancing would hinder them.
Transformation through trial
Living an Abundant Life
Equipping refugees with mental health skills, for more abundant life
Under the Fig Tree
I hear whispers about people who care...
God went ahead of us
We were absolutely delighted with the amazing, warm hearted and friendly responses from asylum seekers.
Healing the brokenhearted
About six years ago, a devastating earthquake caused the loss of tens of thousands of lives in this region. Post-traumatic stress was widespread, and many suicided because they had lost everything, except despair.
No Judgement
Ambassadors of love
His face brightened as he realised that God is good and would look after him.
Too good not to share
It is wonderful and inspiring to see more of how God is using Jane to encourage others to turn to Him through her witness of His grace, mercy and love.
Working for children’s health
In the few minutes I see each child, I try to give them my full attention and make them understand that they are precious and loved by our Father.
Called to Support
How can you not become involved in cross-cultural mission when there are many who have yet to hear the Good News?
Grace for the Long Haul
Ten years is considered a long time to serve in cross-cultural work these days but it has some excellent rewards. As I look back I can see how the Grand Weaver has been weaving the threads of my life and experience to bring me to where I am today.

Can you imagine being woken up by the orchestral sounds of birds, indigenous music and singing, and fervent prayers at 5am every morning? I lay on a hard wooden bed in a simple hut in rural Asia and was deeply touched by the presence of God.
Expect the unexpected
She’d come out of her delirium in response to prayer. We rejoiced together in God’s goodness and power!
God shaped me for this
The plane took off and, full of nervous energy, trepidation and excitement, I felt like I was flying to Neverland. For the first time in my life I was headed somewhere totally foreign. Four weeks before, I hadn’t even heard of this country, tucked deep in Central Asia. But that’s how God works sometimes – He brings surprises, a turn of events, the intercession of His children, to break our focus on the earthly, refocus on the eternal and point the way to something unknown. When the seatbelt light turned off, it signified a break from the safety of my culture and my lifestyle.
Discipleship in the Home
I have the opportunity to live life and faith alongside our house-helper Bee. Her example challenges my own willingness and efforts to be a servant.
God has a mission for people with a disability
“Disability removes an unhealthy power dynamic in the field.”
Learning from women
How would I, as a follower of Jesus, have a meaningful conversation with this woman?
