// HAPPY (NO) BIRTHDAY!

INSTAGRAM YO

Just about to take off for final leg home to Australia. Have had an excellent time in USA… Learnt so much from @villagechurchtx and @spanishriverchurch! Full head, full heart… And full belly :)

Because I’m flying back over the international date line, I’m going to miss my birthday! I tried to convince @qantas to give me a complimentary upgrade. But failed.

Now I’m sitting next to some guy on his first international flight. He’s freaking out. I’m probably going to have to hold his hand.

// GOSPEL-CENTRED PEOPLE

INSTAGRAM YO

I’m leaving Dallas today with a full head, full belly and full heart. Thankful for the hospitality of The Village Church Texas and its people.

I’ve been struck by the centrality of the gospel in all I’ve seen during my visit. The message – of what Christ has done in living the perfect life, dying the death our sin deserves and rising to give new life to all who trust in him – is explicit in church, music, preaching, service leading, prayers, meetings, groups, homes and over meals.

Particularly thankful for the gospel-centred generosity of Dave and Vicky. I’ve learnt so much from them over the last 10 days. They’re an inspiration in the way they love people radically and seek to serve God and his church.
