It is a great joy to inform you that the good Lord is opening doors for two of our dear friends to minister in Sudan. Fredrick and Saturnino knew each other in Egypt several years ago and since then both have been very active in ministry – Fredrick mainly in Egypt and Saturnino in Sudan.
I got the news last week that they have decided to team up together for a ministry trip in June or July. As you can imagine the administration, documentation, etc. will be a real challenge for Fredrick and Saturnino – perhaps even more than for most people. And of course they are faithfully trusting in the Lord to provide for all their needs.
As the details become clearer we will share what we can, but in the meantime please join all of us on the CCI team in praying for the practical needs of this trip, which are:
Lord Jesus, we pray for your anointing on this partnership and ministry to Sudan. In your mighty name we ask for your protection for Fredrick and Saturnino as they move forward and in particular for you to go before them in all the preparations necessary for visas, documents, permits, etc. We trust you to provide for all their needs Lord, for you are indeed a Mighty God who is able to do more than we can possibly imagine. Amen

Last week I had an exciting opportunity to fly to NSW (that’s New South Wales for you non-Aussies out there) to visit the Presbyterian churches of Finley, Berrigan and Tocumwal to present our Small Groups Church Plan to their Elders and lay leaders. I’m glad to share this report with you, not just to prove that I’m still up and about 
but to inspire and encourage churches and church leaders everywhere who may be considering taking on the small-groups challenge!
I met many fantastic people who made my visit a blessed experience. These three churches are pulsating with healthy hearts and I sensed a clear desire from the people I met to go forward with the Lord. I was privileged to join with the Elders of these churches on Friday night to brainstorm thoughts about where their churches desired to go. On Saturday, 29 representatives (Elders and lay leaders) from these churches took part in the Small Groups Development presentation. The session flowed smoothly and the participants were exceptionally warm, open and receptive to what was presented. I was also blessed with an opportunity to preach the Gospel at Berrigan and Finley Churches on the Sunday – praise the Lord for His presence and power at work in His people!
I am grateful to David and Chris Milburn who hosted me in their home during the four days visit. Thank you both sincerely for your generous hospitality, and for allowing the Lord to use you as a catalyst in making this great event possible.
To the church families of Finley, Berrigan and Tocumwal I extend a heartfelt bravo for taking these courageous, first steps in looking at biblical ways to (1) grow closer together in fellowship with each other, and with God, (2) develop new generations of leaders in your church, and (3) see how small groups can be effective in impacting unchurched family and friends with the love of the Lord. May the Lord richly bless you as you continue in this journey with Him, experiencing His will for you.
Every journey needs a first step! In this case, it came from the willingness of the church leadership to open their hearts to receive an objective assessment and recommendations for new ways of “doing church” that promises fruitful outcomes. I am privileged and thankful to the Lord for raising-up CCI to serve these churches in this way. It warms my heart to know that God is on the move, equipping and mobilising his people, here in Australia.
Can your church use some assistance to know how to step out in a new and exciting direction?
We thought that you might be interested in sharing the Word of God as preached by various members of the team.
Please check out the ‘Preaching’ category of posts, which has links to some great messages by Bill, Dave and Stu – and hopefully we will be adding others in the future.
Although we’ve only just added them to the site, they have been posted on the date that they were recorded (in case you wondered why they aren’t appearing in the ‘recent posts’ list).
