Goodbye Perth!!



Well, my adventures are concluded here in Perth & I'm off to my next stage.. Egypt. I was just doing a bit of self-reflecting time...

I learnt so much over my three months leccture phase. God's done an amazing amount of cleaning out crappy stuff in my life - repenting, forgiving, refreshing & renewing. He's also put alot in my life - vision, love, opening my eyes & seeing the world through more of His perspective. His heart loves the people of this world, yet breaks so much to see them not knowing him. It breaks when He sees Christian afraid to step up & be bold in their faith.

So I'm looking up and looking forward...



having to leave some tightly formed friendships...



taking the skills I've been equipped with...



and the many many fun memories...







and I'm ready to go!

Bring it on!!

I must leave you with my favorite verse, one thats blessed me time & time again and it is a verse that I will live by in Cairo. My prayer is that it will bless you too =) ...

I've commanded you to be strong and brave. Don't ever be afraid or discouraged! I am the Lord your God, and I will be there to help you wherever you go

- Joshua 1:9

He's Gooooooood!

Well, after some stressful days fundraising & busking, several billion emails and twice as many prayers, I finally got all my money for outreach!!! yay. God is good man.

Thank you to all that partnered with me. You all have an inheritance for the peoples lives in Cairo. Please pray that there would be transformation in the city & that God's love would be known to everyone there. Pray for salvations & for the people to be set free from the enemies strongholds in their lives & from their beliefs that they have to earn their way to God.

We are just finishing our week off on Missions lectures. It's been real interesting to learn about other religions & how Christianity compares to them. Buddhist, Hindu, Islam, Animism, Communism & Humanism are some that we looked at. I'm totally facinated with all of them & would love to continue to find out more. There is such a huge contrast to their beliefs, particularly related to, religiosity & rules compared with the Christian message of love & forgiveness for their sins. Jesus offers a way that knowone or no other 'God' can offer. If only people could see that they don't have to be trapped & restricted but that they can have freedom in Christ! (man that felt good to type!)

- O by the way. (apologies for this update being the same as my email, but I felt like this is a time I want to remember in a blog too =) God is so good.

Photos will come next time.

Bless ya'll.

Love.
