The school year is winding down, but the church planting keeps going! The Australian school year goes with the calendar year so things are just about complete for this year. Ray has been teaching courses in church planting, “the missional church,” leadership and personal development. Marti has been developing and teaching courses in women’s ministry. We are privileged to be part of what God is doing through the Adelaide College of Ministries.

Church planting is moving ahead, too. We are assisting the Craigmore Christian Church (an Open Brethren Assembly) to plant a church up in the northern suburbs and we are working toward a relationship with the Geneva Push, a multi-denominational church planting effort that includes evangelical Anglicans, Baptists, Presbyterians and a host of others; all serious to see purposeful, effective church planting move through Australia. Churches Planting Churches is undergoing some extensive re-organization and we are working and praying to see how God wants that to develop.

It is hard to believe we have been back from the U.S. for over a year already! We are grateful for the privilege of being able to serve here in Australia. God is truly good.
