challenge

Last weekend a couple of car loads of food, a whole stack of sleeping bags, approximately  60 adult people and two interstate speakers headed an hour North-west and spent a weekend together. It all looked pretty unexciting from the outside, but the weekend was designed to encourage Perth Christians to think about entering full-time/vocational/paid/formal (pick your PC adjective, you know what I mean) gospel ministry. And, in doing that, was a really exhilarating and inspiring weekend. Thinking about the vast majority of our own small city whom have never engaged with the gospel is a depressing activity, but not when you do it after hearing from Titus and surrounded by others who just really want the world to know what they’re missing out on.  Sadly it’s another year till the next MTS Challenge conference, but in the meantime let’s keep encouraging each other to fight the good fight…and if you see Tim Thorburn, put your name down for next year and tell him he rocks.
