Diploma of Biblical Studies

Rowena recently finished her Diploma of Biblical Studies through Moore College and will graduate in a week. She’s found the course extremely useful in life and ministry. The email she sent around to her family is below. It’s encouraging. (Used with permission!)

Diploma of Biblical Studies

Hey Hey, after like 8 and a half years (with a few breaks in-between) I have finally completed my Diploma of Biblical Studies. I’m very happy to have been able to undertake this study. In looking back over the courses I am amazed at the broad ranging biblical ideas I’ve been able to engage with as part of the program. Through the course I have touched on every book of the bible along with a range of church history, apologetics and Christian worship subjects. Through my studies I have been able to deepen my understanding of the scriptures and have grown in my appreciation of God’s purposefulness in his interaction with the world as revealed in biblical history culminating in the birth, death and resurrection of Jesus. Thanks for your interest over the years in my studies shown through the various conversations we have had and in Dave’s case patience in me attending classes etc. In Rach’s case thanks in particular thanks for being a keen study partner and fellow learner. Rach now you have to finish!!!!

Well not sure what I’m going to do with myself now that this slab of study is over with? Maybe I’ll be able to come up with something later in June!!!

Keep reading your bibles and taking the opportunity to learn of God’s goodness to us as revealed in the scriptures, I encourage you to find both formal (eg courses and programs) and informal opportunities (daily quiet times) to do this.

Love Row

Very cool.

Break it Down #8

The last month has been a crazy magical adventure! It started at the airport with Danny Mitchell getting felt up by a massive security guard. We then went to a killer conference in crocodile country Cardwell. The following week was super-encouraging on Moore College mission in Sydney South-West. Celebrated Jesus‘ death for sins and resurrection to new life. Some time off. Some time on. Some design work. Some college work. KYCK last weekend. TMF09 camp with St Matt’s Youth West Penno this past week. In all that time On the Voddy has continued to rise and rise and fall and rise!

Back to school tomorrow. Next on the radar is a Greek exam in a couple of weeks. Yesterday I even chose Greek study over going skiing!! How stupid, but necessary! Back to regular dmdc coverage from tomoz. Stay tuned for the latest design gear I’ve been working on and other exciting adventures. Thanks for reading. Just hit 120 peeps subscribing in RSS. Not doing it yet? Do it now!

Here’s a mini version of the normal break it down content:

North Queensland Megasurge Tweets

Over the weekend, I was part of a killer conference for teenagers from the Townsville and Cairns region of Queensland. It was very good! Danny Mitchell from Youthsurge joined me for the trip, he is better than a game-show host! We had a great time.

Beach @ Cardwell

There were a whole bunch of young crew that became Christian, and a bunch more recommitted their lives to following Jesus. Stay tuned for the talks. Here’s some twittering that I did over the weekend (reverse-chronological order):
