Taking It to the Streets . . .
This past weekend we began our door knocking campaign, Taking It to the Streets. Although we had a small number turn out on Saturday and Sunday, we were very pleased with how our first two days went. We were able to visit several homes in our respective neighborhoods and give out a brochure not only giving details of our church here but one that clearly presents the Gospel. We had a few promising visits and a few very interesting ones. These really shed light on how some Aussies feel about church and religion. One man, from New Zealand, told us he worships in his own way and basically has his own “gods.” Another man said he’d consider religion only when “the arm of God comes out of the clouds”. We had a few people who would not open their doors to us but did find some who would listen and took our information. With thousands of homes in our community we have our work cut out for us. We plan to continue going out every weekend we can until we have been to every home. Please pray with us that more of our church people will come out in the coming weeks to help us knock on doors and that the people we meet will be receptive. Thank you.

Ministry DVD Almost Finished
We just have a few final touches to our DVD. We plan to send it to the states in the next few weeks for duplication and shipping. We hope you will enjoy it and show it to your church. Let us know what you think!

Health Update on Valerie
Please keep praying for Valerie. The doctor is still concerned about her operated right foot. She may have a Morton’s Neroma. She will also need surgery on the left foot next year.

Busy but Good Times
November is going to be a busy month for us. On the 15th Pastor Dan Jeffers and his family will be visiting us in Sydney and coming to Canberra later in the month. On the 20th our church will have a booth at the local primary school’s fair. Hundreds of children and their families are expected to come. This will be a great opportunity to tell others about our church and share Jesus with them. Valerie will be sharing the Christmas story with over 280 children and their teachers in the Scripture classes in the local public school. She is also working on a Christmas routine with her dowel rod drama team of sixth graders. They will be performing in the school and community in December. On the 27th we are hosting a big Thanksgiving dinner. Over 30 people are expected to attend, including many of our unsaved friends and neighbors. Praise God for all of these wonderful opportunities!
