Last Sunday the Hendersons visited Fusion Church. We were really impressed with the way they are doing ‘church’ in a High School. One of the stand out points was their extremely warm welcome to us and the other guests. With friendly people welcoming and offering help to good coffee and donuts it was easy to [...]
Archies Birthday
We recently celebrated Arch’s birthday and it was great to see how much he enjoyed himself this time round. We had a great time. It all started off with opening presents and readin Birthday cards from friends and family from back home. I actually felt a little homesick for family for the first time, [...]

Freedom Church Take aways – Part one
The key take away from our visit to Freedom Church last Sunday was – “NO Confusion.” There was heaps of road signage. Once we drove into the car park there was a sign saying – “Parents of Preschoolers and first time guests please turn on you lights, thankyou.” That sign set the tone for the [...]
September Top 3 – Part 3

Visit to Freedom Church
Today Nerida and I packed up the kids and drove over to Acworth to visit Freedom Church. Freedom was launched in January this year and it is literally exploding. I want to blog about what we saw and learnt later this week simply because I want to take the time to sit down with my [...]

In no particular order.
There is such a thing as the gift of leadership. Ps Shawn has it. He is a great speaker, communicator and is hugely hungry to lead the church forward. I said to him one day last week, “Shawn are you wired [...]
