Return from the Gold Coast Trip

Going to  Ipswich was an interesting time. Alex and Sybil Shaw, and Yousef Kunda (GRN co-workers) and I met with the Salvation Army's Major Ben Johnson.

We  had a very interesting talk to him about their work in Ipswich. They are doing a huge work with people from many different cultures.

Ben was very interested in the 5fish app as a tool to share the gospel with these people.

Another person we met was a lady called Aunty Narella. She was becoming involved with the Salvation Army as the church she was attending recently closed down

We had quite a bit of discussion with her about recording the gospel in some of the languages there, and whether we could do some in Aboriginal English recordings as well. Time will tell as to what these contacts will lead to.

It was great to stay with the Dillons on their boat, The Shining Light. This was the family I sailed back to Australia from Vanuatu. We had a great time with the Dillons, and it certainly brought back great memories

Going to the public toilets is risky in Qld!!

Trip to the Gold Coast

This is sudden notice, but it was decided by GRN that Glenys would join Alex Shaw (another GRN worker) to meet with some Indigenous People.
Alex has been traveling do different parts of the country sharing about the work of GRN. He met Major Ben Johnson from the Salvation Army who has been seeking to work with the Yeripo tribe in that area.

He is meeting with the elders on the 23rd June where the elders will officially approve or welcome the Salvos to minister with their people.

Attending the ceremony will be elders from different clans, and elders from neighboring tribes.

After talking with the elders, it has been agreed that we will  meet with the people too. This will be a significant time to meet with people and talk about the needs in their particular communities.

More details will be shared when Glenys comes back.
Please pray for this time, for the elders in these communities, the Salvos, and GRN.
