Katherine Christian Convention Time! :)


Two of the Aboriginal leaders, praying in their native language. (very cool!)

Align CenterThe new "Flying Bible Man" is commissioned with his family.


Some of the crowd at the convention.(there were a bunch of people in the back of me, sitting under trees, or on blankets. Not everyone was sitting in the front!)


This past weekend was the Katherine Christian Convention. It was neat to see so many believers getting together to fellowship, and be taught from God's Word. They also had activities for the kids so Cheri and I could listen to the speaker.

One evening Bethany came to me after the teaching and said, "Daddy, Satan is evil. He steals, kills, eats before paying..." She's still learning. :) Something I really love about Bethany is her sweet personality. She loves to share, and she is very sensitive. She can be a handful, but she's very sweet.

It was really neat to see so many indigenous believers come for the convention, and to hear them pray in thier native languages was GREAT! There were several indigenous communities represented, and in the evening sessions, they had the opportunity to present a song or a dance to praise God. Very neat and very edifying to the Church as a whole.

The Flying Bible Man is a worker who flies into isolated/hard-to-reach-by-road communities all over Australia! The man who was in this role before him has been doing it for over 30 years. It was neat to see the baton passed, and to remember our commissioning services. It made me thankful for all the folks who are praying and giving to our ministry! We are blessed!!

And for those of you who have read to the very end of this post, here's a special pic for you! :)
Our kids crack me up. :D We love them so much!!
