WANTED: 500 PRAYER PARTNERS // BRISBANE CHURCH PLANT UPDATE

Hello!

I hope this update finds you well and continuing to delight in Jesus.

In the few months since our last update God has been teaching us many things through City on a Hill Melbourne. We love being part of what God is doing in Melbourne and eagerly look forward to relocating to Brisbane in January 2016 to begin core team gatherings for City on a Hill: Brisbane.

LIKE SHEEP WITHOUT A SHEPHERD

I’ve recently spent some time reflecting on the following verses from Matthew 9.

And Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.” (Matthew 9:35-38 ESV)

I love Jesus’ compassion for lost people who are like sheep without a shepherd. I also love that ultimately Jesus is the shepherd that these sheep so desperately need.

“THEREFORE PRAY EARNESTLY…”

All Christians know they ought to pray more. But I feel a particular conviction to pray much more earnestly for the work ahead for City on a Hill Brisbane. My prayer is that the Lord of the harvest would continue to raise up people, from inside Brisbane and currently outside of Brisbane, to be part of knowing Jesus and making Jesus known in that City.
