Sunday 24th July 2016 Sunday afternoon: Someone gets a call from Sister Monica Balarezo, who received a call from a volunteer soup kitchen she and her family help out. Today, no one turned up except the assistant cook. Fortunately, God had seven of us young people ready to stand in with Monica, Fernando and the assistant cook. It was such a blessing! At 3:00pm, we met up at a hired commercial kitchen, where we set about peeling, chopping, boiling, blending,…

She shared that when thinking about…

From My Heart – Clayfield – 10 July 2016 Only two weeks? How did we end up with only two weeks to plan a concert, practice and organise everything that we would need? But two weeks was all we had. Missionary school was fast approaching and with so many other things to think about, the concert had slowly crept up on us. But with God’s help and a herculean effort from everyone, a concert came together which ended up being…

The moment has finally arrived! We have started the building of another church in Melbourne. It has taken quite a few years, and many prayers, to come to this point, but once we received the green light to proceed there was no delaying. On the 6th July 2016 we gathered at the building site for special prayers for this project, to ask for God’s blessing and guidance. The ground has been prepared for the foundation. This was not an easy…

Cyclone Winston – 20 February 2016 In the February e-newsletter of the Good Tidings, we posted an appeal for Fiji. We asked for your prayers and also financial support for our brethren who suffered much after Cyclone Winston left the islands of Fiji extensively damaged. During that time, sadly, one brother was killed and his wife suffered great injuries, whilst many others were left homeless. Many villages were totally destroyed by the winds and floods. The amount we needed to…
