MORE University Missions
MORE is a mission happening simultaneously across 3 Universities (UTS, UWS and MAC) throughout August. I’ll be one of the speakers. It’s a great initiative. Here’s my intro vid:
I’d value your prayers over the next few weeks. Keep an eye out on twitter for updates.

MOVE + EAT + LEARN
“3 guys, 44 days, 11 countries, 18 flights, 38 thousand miles, an exploding volcano, 2 cameras and almost a terabyte of footage… all to turn 3 ambitious linear concepts based on movement, learning and food ….into 3 beautiful and hopefully compelling short films…..” These were commissioned by STA Travel Australia. Short. Simple. Creative.

Pray for Steve Chong. Now!
Steve Chong (from Kirkplace and RICE) is preaching to 7000 young punks at the Newday youth festival in England. I want to invite you to pray for him this week. Pray that God would be at work by His Spirit as Steve opens the Word and points young punks to Jesus.
It’s an amazing opportunity and it would be good if we could gather as many peeps in Sydney and Australia to partner with Steve by praying for this ministry.
Watch the vid above. And pray now.
His first talk will be roughly 630pm tonight (Tuesday 2 August – Sydney Time).
We can hopefully get another vid from Steve later in the week.
Follow him on Twitter for regular updates.
Share this vid or blog post to get others praying too. Deal?
