We Have Arrived

We have arrived! We thank you for your prayers for our safe travel. We arrived, after three flights, and many hours on the plane. We were a bit tired, but everyone travelled well. (Even our first time flyers)!
Our first day was spent at the local primary school. We presented 2 assemblies full of singing and fun and were able to make connections and share about our culture in the classes. We are praying that the connections with the school and the students will produce fruit for Him in the future.
We met many people from the community as well as church members last evening at a welcome dinner. The mayor presented us with an Australian flag, which was a great honor. A time of worship was sweet as we lifted "Great South Land" and "How Great Is our God" before the Father. He truly is great and has such plans for the Beauty Point area.
Today was full of building connections at the local playgroup, a fantastic book club meeting, and a men's leadership dinner, which is currently in progress.We ask that you continue to remember connections we have made early in ther week, that God might continue to work in the lives of those we have encountered.
*** Prayer points for the coming week:
* Be in prayers for the Family Concert tomorrow evening. Pray for those who will attend and that the gospel will be heard and understood.
* Pray for our services in various churches Sunday. May people be drawn to these venues and be receptive to the message of Jesus.
* Pray for specifically for an openness to the gospel within the men in Beauty Point. May God rasie up leaders with transformed lives.
* Pray for the faithful Christians in the area, that they would not grow weary in doing good. They are serving the Lord with their whole hearts. May they begin to see the harvest!
* Pray for unity, wisdom, and strength.
More soon!-- The Partnership Tasmania Team
