a Jesus thought...
Every day he was teaching at the temple. But the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the leaders among the people were trying to kill him. Yet they could not find any way to do it, because all the people hung on his words. (Luke 19:47-48)
a Godly thought...
Sometimes, going with the flow just won’t work, especially if the flow is headed over Niagara. Will someone-perhaps me-please just stand up and be counted? (p69 Lucas)
a leading thought...
Discipleship is delegation. Jesus did not spread Christianity into a worldwide movement; His early followers did. (p133 Finzel)

Dave thought...Yesterday I got to spend the day with a group of youth leaders who attend the National Youth Ministry Convention in September at Torquay. It was a lot of fun and a great time to share ideas that came out of the conference and hear each others dreams for 2008. But perhaps the highlight of the day was to prayer walk the land currently under offer for Torquay Salvos. This 5 acre block covered in gum trees and a small dam has so much potential and as we walked around it and stopped to pray I had to keep asking God, ''I wonder what will happen on this land over the next 10 years?'' As Torquay Salvos, with Lts. Catherine & Phil Abram and youth worker Sarah Eldridge, continues to grow and connect with the community it will begin a new phase of its ministry as it builds and implements its plans for the future. Only God knows where this path will take them but in a way He is all that needs to know, as God asks us to serve Him faithfully not predict the future.
Just a thought.

im booking a future appointment to torquay salvos...
Get in line James - there are a fair few people wanting to be appointed to Torquay - I think also there are currently people lining up to start Lorne, Apollo Bay & Ocean Grove! It's God's own country here I think.
Thanks for coming to Torquay and for your prayers Dave - it was such a blessing to be able to share our vision with friends and peers.
I'm praying for many more youth worker prayer walks over the coming years - and to many more new and exciting Corps (and more specifically Youth Ministry) plants around the Territory.
Thanks again!
