Remember 'Remember the Titans'?

Culture change is tough - but it is worth it!!! I was reminded of this as I watched the movie Remember the Titans. A coach dropped into a chaotic situation must bring culture change for the team to survive... but he doesn't just want it to survive he wants it to succeed, and to dominate. In a way we want our ministries to do likewise so what ideas for culture change can we take from Coach Boon?

Thinking about sacrifice

If Jesus is King, what does that mean for what we want to do with out lives? [Image by Chris Bellerophon Dotson on flickr]

Back to the Mission

Reminded again and again about what we are created for. We are created for worship! But because there are some people who do not worship, we have been given a mission... to go and show people they were created to worship! - photo on Flickr by llamatofu

Appeasement verses Satisfaction

Do we look to appease our emotions, troubles, discomforts with earthy things that may provide some release temporarily, or do we look to God who is the source of complete satisfaction? [Image by donald_palansky_photography on flickr]

Prayer = Dependence

Even in the confidence I have in my own abilities - I am learning that I still need to be dependent on God if the outcome is going to be worthwhile for the Kingdom. Prayer is the key consideration in this! ~photo credit: wiedmaier on flickr

The pain of rejection

Feeling rejected hurts... it hurts bad... so bad I think because it warns us that there is an ultimate rejection that we never ever EVER want to experience. - photo on flickr by mohammadali

Qld 300

An awesome weekend it was! Lots of fast cars and some pretty spectacular accidents (no one injured thankfully). Dad did a heap of chaplaincy work amongst the V8 Drivers, and the support categories.

I thought I'd throw some pics in for you too look at - Go FORDS!

This truck folds out to become the media centre. It is an amazing piece of technology. Worth almost 2 Million dollars!

Team Gambia

My WEC Cabin boys. Go Team Gambia!!! The guys had an awesome time dressing up in the Gambian clothes and as some of the traditional figures (like the Kunkarungo in this photo). We all learnt a bit more about the Gam, and have committed to praying for Robyn and her work in Jarrol Village.
