This is my little niece, there was another video in earlier posts, but here is just a couple more photo's and video's of my niece. It's awesome to watch someone learn and grow. Hopefully my little niece will come to know Jesus later in life :)

With Christ In The Vessel

Here's a video of 'With Christ In The Vessel'

We've gotten to the bit where you don't say the words :)

Massive amounts of photo's! (To Ben's Standards)

Okay, here is ben catching up on all the photo's he has been slow to post up!
So here we go!

This photo here is the Youth group going to see Tony Anthony, the author of the book, 'Taming The Tiger'. The photo left to right is Joshua (in the van), Ben with his eyes shut, Tendayi, Elvis (olivia's bro), Big Ben, Jerome, Zach, and Olivia!

The night went well, i think many of the kids were really blessed, that a man so 'earthly' strong and full of power, can to know the redeeming love and power of Christ. Good book to read to, it's like an action book.

Okay next photo!

Here we are crew at paradise church for Youth Alive which is a youth event where the church brings in international bands, this year it was STELLA KART! woot go punk rock!

In this photo we have Joe, Ruth, Me, Ana, and Lina!

I think it was a strong change to the usual music that the guys listen to, but they really enjoyed themselves. I was 'dying' to go down to the front and jump around in the mosh pit, but i had to be the 'responsible' adult :( .... as much as ben can be....

Okay i should post this before my comp crashes

In a small corner of the world

I was doing a little bit of my quiet time today, and i felt the presence of God. I was thinking to myself about how awesome God is and how strange it is that God would choose to visit me.

Just one person, in a small little insignificant house, on a small insignificant country, on an insignificant planet in an insignificant solar system.

I'm but a speck, barely even that.

Yet God... the creator of all.... thought that i was special enough to spend time with.

The even crazier thing is, that it's usually not (99.99% of the time) me who's waiting for God, but rather God who's waiting for me.

What an awesome God we serve.

A Growing Change Of Heart!

Well, lets see... it's been a super duper long time that i haven't posted on the youth blog! Please forgive me those who regularly check it :P

Anyway, i'm sitting in front of my computer on a sunday night listening to 'ooh ah' by Gritz which is a phat song. Look it up if you can, it's Christian hip hop, i love it.


Anyway, there is so much going on in my life at the moment. Couple of awesome things that have been happening!

a) My sister accepted christ!!! PRAISE THE LORD!!! God is good

b) I've have a good casual job!! AT KOOORRROOONNGG!!!! woot (Koorong it says :P)
- Great discounts and i can walk around during my shift singing hillsongs and stuff, and no one gives me funny looks ^_^

c) Youth is starting to go to every saturday night!! I'm so excited. I believe God is going to do some awesome things through the youth group as we invest our hearts, lives, energy and petrol ! into the kingdom of God. There will be great fruits as a result!


I think one thing that God has really started to press on my heart is a passion for the lost. I'm so broken these days over the fact that there are so many people that need to find God who haven't. I'm starting to be so consumed by it that i don't even think other Christians understand. It amazes me that people don't understand that i want to put the kingdom of God before everything. That doesn't mean that i don't care about other things in my life and that i don't do my best. That just means that my passion, and love and energy goes to God first and formost.

When i talk to people that are going through hard times, i can't help but say 'trust God' 'believe in jesus' or something along those lines. I believe 110% that Jesus Christ is the answer to every problem in the world.

I remember hearing that at the end of WWII that Billy Graham and one of the Generals from the German army were standing together and talking. The General turned to Billy and said 'outside of Christ I know of no other hope for man kind'.


Do we believe the same thing. I was talking to the youth today, that only 5% of Australians are Christian, or at least go to church. That means... AT LEAST 20 million people in Australia are going to hell. What does that do in our heart? Does that move us? Does it spark a 'Holy Discontent' in our heart to do whatever we can to see people saved. Does it spark a willingness to become a fool for Christ, or become all things to all men, in order to see people get saved.

Lets not be complacent. Lets let God burn that fire in our heart, let it build up in our heart, then let are speak to people with God's word and passion and love, and lets as a generation see this world won to Christ! Amen
