Let’s continue to keep all of the people of Christchurch in our prayers. I thought the service in Hagley Park in the city last Friday was a wonderful time of mourning, encouragement and hope. I thought Peter Beck’s (the Dean of the Christchurch Cathedral); comments that the service was one step of many in a long journey of healing and restoration were also very helpful.
I attended the Auckland service on Friday night at the museum in the Domain along with many of you. Both Len Brown and Bishop Ross spoke very well. I liked Ross’s threefold call to pray, financially give, and then go. He himself has been down there in his capacity as a volunteer fireman. We will be exploring whether now would be a good time to send a team of volunteers down to Christchurch. As you know, previous advice has been that sending such a team is premature.
Thank you to everyone who made the Homecoming Dance so much fun not least Jeremy White who organized the whole evening. R.E.S.P.E.C.T Jeremy. It went off! Thank you and well done!
Let's also be praying for all those in Japan and Libya who are also facing very challenging circumstances.
Please also do pray for Dino and I. We are presently airborne and heading for Sydney where we are doing a church leaders day for New Wine. Tonight we are leading a combined churches evening. We will let you know how we get on on Sunday. See you then.
