I have recently returned from a trip to Brusgrove and Grafton in the Northern Rivers NSW. I spent two days with a friend who had been full of confusion and guilt as he has been feeling under pressure by other christian friends to go to church. Their concerns are genuine as they are concerned about him drifting from the Lord. But he has not felt any further from Father since he stopped attending, he is active in his faith in the local community where he lives and finds blessing others a greater joy than going to 'church'. We spent the time in prayer, praise and encouragement. He was deeply encouraged as I shared on what Father has been doing in my life, expressing relational living rather than 'doing' church. Another of his friends strolled in as we were partaking in a great weekend and grace was released in his life as well. Wayne, my friend, has since run into some more of his friends who have been likewise disillusioned with organisational church. He shared with them the weekend had and they are blessed with Father's grace and they plan to be in better contact and come together in His name as He gives opportunities.

Also in Grafton I was able to share with some unsaved including my brother on the simplicity of faith built relationship with Jesus, and I was amazed how Father has moved on their hearts.

There are plans for further trips, I can't wait to see what Father does next time.

Blessings to all!
