NEW MATES IN AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND

So encouraged.  Getting ready to board our plane to Sydney and then to Perth.  Speaking this weekend at Riverview church.  Glad to hang out with Phil Baker and his staff.

Funny how you can meet certain people and IMMEDIATELY connect with them.  Michelle and I have had such a great time with the pastors from down under.  They are real, fun and wise.  Off the hook in the fun category.  Wish they liked baseball, but no one is perfect...

I just want to say thanks to the pastors who graciously allowed us to share about the Living Hope Story.  Some things that have worked and some things that haven't.  It is so totally an ONLY GOD kind of thing.  There just is not one way or one method ONLY ONE GOD.  Mission never changes.  Methods HAVE to.  I am believing big things for New Zealand and Australia.  Bigger than ever.  Every church has a divine destiny.  Once we figure out our role in the bigger plan of God, we get closer to the Kingdom win.   

This blog is to simply thank my new Kiwi and Aussie friends.  Thanks for giving me grace, for your encouragement to Michelle and I and MOSTLY for your heart to reach the world for Christ.  When you celebrate, we all do.  When you struggle we all do.   This is our time together to push back the gates of hell.  To prevail.  To rethink how we do church.  To stay centered in 'pure' and 'simple' devotion to Jesus. To be encouraged and to be together in reaching the world.

Can't wait until next time.  Got several churches I would love to speak in and a couple Australian conferences.    We will see what God has for us.

If Living Hope can serve you in ANY way, please don't hesitate to e-mail us.  If you decide to start major league baseball, we can arrange it.  If you can bring rugby to the US that would be sweet.

See you next time.  If you get up to Vancouver (NOT CANADA), Washington, call me we will go hang out.

Cheers Mates.

John and Michelle

For the record, I love baseball! I'm lucky enought to have English sports emmited into the USA. (I love English sports, because my favorite author is from that country, C.S.Lewis:-)
I keep on praying that God will keep on using you & your wife to do His work.
