Corio Evangelism Forum
Next Sunday we're hosting the Corio Evangelism Forum, in our home. Telling people about God's love can be terribly challenging. So we're hoping to unite and encourage those called to evangelise our area and focus us on God's strategies. I've recorded a radio interview on 96three about this which will play this Wednesday morning and I'll send you the link next month.

Council gives us 40 Manna Gums

Community Tree Planting
Our tree planting is starting on Thursday 26 September in Rosewall Reserve as a school-holiday program for kids. A growing group of locals is keen to spread the word that trees are good and to protect our new trees from vandalism. The council has given us 40 Manna gums, tree guards and stakes. Next month I'll show you the photos. So far 37 miracles have been reported at LMHG, so let's plant 37 trees to thank Jesus!

Neighbours & Family Helping Clear our Block

From Community Centre 
to our Home
We recently stopped meeting at Rosewall Community Centre and shifted the Home Group to our Home. We felt God's call to do this and it seems many locals don't really like the community centre. Plus we save about $70 per week. The group is very quiet at the moment so we are concentrating on inviting our neighbours over for dinner and praying with them as appropriate, building relationship and trust and quietly releasing the supernatural power of God into their lives. We're in no hurry.

Revival
Many Christian leaders here are believing for revival! It's an exciting time to join them in Corio!

Now we really get started!

Vital Statistics for July
- Total attendance per week: 5, 3, 5, 2
- Miracles reported per week: 5, 2, 1, 1
- Leaders moved in
- Council gives blessing to plant trees
- New Flyer made ready for distribution

New Flyer
One of our group suggested we make a flyer which attacks ICE addiction so we've made a new flyer with money given by a supporter! It will be distributed in August.

Leaders Move In
So we've moved into our new home in Corio and we're loving it. We love the new challenge of getting to know everyone in our neighbourhood and fixing up our house and garden. Its stronger when the leaders are on the ground.

Commissioning and Dedication

The first ever meeting in our new home was a powerful prayer meeting, a dedication and cleansing of our home and a commissioning and anointing for us. Hosted by June and John Bennet, the leaders of the Corio Prayer Team, the meeting had 15 people including three local pastors. Isaiah 61: 1- 4 stood out among the prophecies. One of the pastors identified us as a prophetic vanguard.

Help on the Ground
Recently God blessed us with the opportunity to move two tall boy drawers to a young family in need. 

1 Miracle = 1 Tree

We believe God has called us to honour His miraculous works in people's lives by planting a tree for each miracle reported at LMHG. This means work. I met with council representatives from Parks and Gardens and Community and Recreation at Rosewall Reserve. They are happy to authorise us to run revegetation in Rosewall Reserve. They have cleared some grassland which they will mulch for us and they will provide trees. Our job is to get the community on side so the locals don't vandalise the tress. There is a meeting about this at our home next week. We expect this project will take years to fully materialise. Combatting violent attitudes to the park will take time and commitment and the miraculous work of God. More next month. 

Council prepares for planting.
