Our Dandenong Adventure has begun!

The other day we went to the Dandenong shops to share the good news of Jesus with the community. We walked around the shopping centre and stopped to talk to a number of people. I was completely amazed at who we bumped in to…

The first people I spoke to were from India.

Then we spoke to some true blue Aussies!

Then I had a great conversation with a man from East Timor.

Then Sarah had a conversation with a lady from Mauritus.

As I walked around and saw the thousands of people from around 150 different nationalities I began to cry out to the Lord. “How will we ever reach all these people?” Straight away I sensed the Lord bringing me back to the game plan that Jesus modelled and then gave to His disciples in Luke 10 and Matthew 10.

Jesus would search for a person or house of peace. These are people prepared by God, responsive to the Gospel, and open up relational networks to the gospel. For example the woman at the well shared with her village that she had found the Messiah, and the Gadarene demoniac who was sent back to his people to share his story…

Our job is not to lead all 146,000 people in Greater Dandenong to Jesus by ourselves. Rather it is to lead people to Jesus who will.

Please join with us in prayer for people of peace! We're searching for them as we share the gospel, and make disciples. We believe God is doing something special, and we look forward to sharing more stories with you as we go along!

Recently James trained a group of people from Brighton Church of Christ in the Following and Fishing Material. While on a training outreach with them, a lady gave her heart to the Lord! This was very exciting for the team. However it gets better. The next day one of the men from the outreach put into practice the tools he had been taught and led another person to the Lord! This is what it is about! Making Disciples that Make Disciples.
