A Strategic Change
We have decided to stop our weekly Home Group dinners for 2020 because only one Christian person usually comes. We will still support this person. I'm surprised the offer of free dinner, continuing loving relationship and caring prayer did not take off.Instead, we can better serve the non-Christians in Corio by focusing on a monthly Tree-Planting event to gather in new people and follow this with a Family Pizza-Making Night at which we teach the Word of God, conduct worship and offer prayer leading to a supernatural encounter with Jesus. I am also going to begin door-knocking to offer prayer and invite people to Tree Planting events.
January Pizza-Making Night
We started with a small rubbish-collection event in the local park because it was too hot to plant trees. Then we made pizzas in our garden and learned about the Sermon on the Mount. We sang two worship songs and then each non-Christian was prayed for by the Christians there.Pastor's Unity Dinner
God has given me a real burden to work for Unity of the North, so I'm pleased to report I hosted a Pastor's Unity Dinner at our home in January. Twelve came altogether and we farewelled Lee & Jacinta Wong who are leaving Fire Church soon. We are working on another Pastor's event for March and I'll keep you posted.Little Miracles & Trees
So far we have 99 little miracles reported including several children wanting me to pray for them at our last event. For each miracle we are committed to plant a tree. So far we have 49 trees alive in Rosewall Reserve. That means we need to plant another 50 just to keep up with God's miraculous work in our community! Please pray for favour with the local council as we get permission to continue planting in 2020!
