| From Australia |
G,day all from sunny Australia. Yes, you read it right, Australia. Click here for Photos
In order for us to obtain a Visa for Carolyn to allow her to stay in the United Kingdom, we had to return and submit the paperwork in Australia. Please pray for our Visa application. That it will be successful, Lord willing!
God has it all under control! Even when it seems strange to us! Since arriving back we have managed to catch up with our church family at Calvary Chapel Secret Harbour and spend time with family and friends.
We are staying with Carolyn's mum, who has just had a total knee replacement, so Gods timing is wonderful, as we are able to help her out and look after her through this time.
I am also running a bible study here for a friend, so please keep that in prayer as we study through the book of Philippians together on a Wednesday. If you are in the neighborhood, you are welcome to join us!
I am studying through the book of Acts in preparation for our return to Calvary Chapel York Bible College, where I will be teaching starting on 7th of September. God is so good to us and it is a truly humbling thing to be used in this way.
We were blessed by Dave & Nancy and the church and college in York, and are missing them. Please keep this in prayer as I spend the time in Gods' word, that I will be a good steward of the time he has given me and in turn this will bless the bible college students who attend in September.
I am learning in the book of Acts that it is only through the power of the Holy Spirit that we can achieve anything worthwhile for God and so I appreciate your prayers.
Just prior to leaving for Australia, we attended speakers week in the Wensley Dales, in Yorkshire. Pastor Brian Broderson was the guest speaker. It was a wonderful time of teaching, growing and encouragement.
I was amazed that one of the first things Pastor Brian mentioned when we met him was something he had read in my blog! It is so encouraging to know others are reading and praying for us. Especially as you are all so busy with your own lives. It truly is a blessing to us.
So again, thank you all so much for reading this blog and for keeping us in your prayers.
We love to hear from you!
God bless you,
Stephen & Carolyn
