LIFE – Every Minute Counts!

If you have seen the Illawarra Mercury this week there has been one story has dominated. Nicole Miller was returning home last Saturday night along the Princes Highway when a rock crashed through the window of the car she was travelling in. An act of senselessness by a 25 year old man has put this vivacious young lady into a coma and hospital, clinging onto life. Praise God, she has now awoken from the coma.
In life nothing is ultimately safe and guaranteed, except God’s promises.
He is the only one who goes beyond the limitations of this world.
His love transcends right into eternity.
He is the one who stands at the other side of death to welcome us into heaven.
He is the one who calls us to live different lives with Him at the centre so that everyone can grasp the hope and security only He can offer.

Prayer Points – Michael & Jo Charles

Dear Friends,
We mentioned in a previous prayer letter/prayer request that we have been looking at housing options. We are now at a point where we will need to move house within a couple of weeks. We are awaiting notification of an option for an apartment that we feel would be best for us all-round. Please pray that God would move hearts to look favourably on us and allow us to move within the time we have left, without it getting exceedingly stressful (!) Please pray that we will trust in God’s goodness and be content with whatever He supplies, knowing that we need not worry because He is in control. [We were encouraged by this morning's reading and sermon at church, where Hagar and Ishmael are dying of thirst in the wilderness and God speaks to Hagar saying, "What troubles you Hagar? (!!!) Fear not, for God has heard the voice of the boy from where he is." (exclamation marks mine) Genesis 21:8-21]
Praise God that our church situation appears resolved, though we haven’t yet been able to speak with the Bishop (it appears that we won’t move church).
Yours in Christ,
Michael, Joy los niños
