Life Down Under

The winds of change are blowing

Today was the last class of this internship; I still can't believe that this is our 3rd class to finish since we moved here! Internship graduations seem to be milestones for our community; a time to reflect on the kindness and sovereignty of the Lord as He establishes His house in our city. And of course it's also a time to celebrate and honor the young men and women who have come here either for a short season or for a long-term season to set themselves before the Lord and to cry out on behalf of a city and nation that need Jesus desperately. Tomorrow's graduation seems to come at a time of great transition for our community. The most apparent, visible expression of this transition will most likely be our move into a new building, but I have a sense that this evident sign of transition is but a picture of a greater transition which is happening in a realm unseen by human eyes. I don't have full understanding of what it all looks like and what it all means, so I'll leave my comments at that. But when you think of us in this next month, please pray. For provisoin and clear direction for a new building. For grace to pray. For wisdom to discern the season we are in and the understanding to respond correctly. That not one would be left behind in the transition. For this coming group of interns that will arrive here within the next month. And that we as a community would walk with our eyes fixed upon Jesus and that love would abound in our hearts still more and more for Him. Amen.
