How have you seen God working in your life?
I am thankful for how God has further opened my eyes and given new life to the great commission, in His grace He has let Jesus' parting words take a stronger grip of my heart. I have sensed God leading me in being both bolder and gentler, peaceful and more patient as well as clearer and more confident in engaging with people who don't yet know Jesus like they could. I am also thankful for the way God has been so loving to me in steering the right books, people and podcasts across my path at just the right time. Through the most recent season of learning I feel He is growing me to be able to serve, minister, love and lead those that are lost, seeking and looking for hope.
How have you seen God working in your family?
It is amazing to see my wife and 3 daughters continue to grow in their love and trust in His sovereignty, guidance and immeasurable grace. I see a growing love for Jesus in them all as we seek to more greatly understand His love for us. Stepping out for the sake of the Kingdom has meant I been able to witness them get the joy and get the vision for sharing the gospel with their friends, school mates and family.
How have you seen God working in your church?
I am thankful to be able to say with confidence that God has equipped and is growing City on a Hill Surf Coast to be a people who have a generous hearts, gospel vigor and evangelistic zeal. Perhaps though the most evident work of God at work in our hearts is a spirit of unity and adaptability which has been evident since COVID restrictions have been easing in our state. Practically this attitude has been evidence in what I have been encouraged to see as people have embraced change and the new ways of us being able to exist as a gathered church community. We currently are doing outdoor services in a different venue with a smaller music team, with no firm roster or guarantee that we'll be able to new week and their positive and thankful attitude has been astounding.
