MEETING WITH ELIJAH

Elijah was in town recently and we met once yesterday for dinner and again today at Carol & David's place for a worship gathering. it was a good meeting. Kerrie who mentors the Fijian church, Neil, Beryl, Peter & Karen Young, the Rowlands and ourselves were there.

He said that it was an interesting cross-section of people among us that day - and almost as if we were on the verge of breaking into something new & exciting. Very casual, subdued but meaningful and productive because we all came out of it, sensing that God could use every one of us in His own special way for this city.

Like Abraham, when he was promised descendants as many as the stars & died only seeing Isaac, we may not live to see the end results of what God can do to change a place or nation, but to know that we could be starting to pray for this change right now for future generations and things to come .. that is a promise and a vision we need to hold on to,.. incidentally Gold Coast's ethos is the city of vision.

The shops seemed to be closed for lunch so Caroline nicely whipped up a lunch of salad & pasta for all of us, resourceful & fantastic lady!
