10 MOST VIEWED BLOGPOSTS FROM 2014

  1. WHAT’S THE DEAL WITH THE ARABIC LETTER IN FACEBOOK PROFILE PICS? – Awful things have taken place in Iraq this year as Christians have been forced to flee their homes. I’m always encouraged by the stories of Christians who persevere through persecution. Christians all around the world changed their profile picture to the Arabic letter for ‘n’ in solidarity with Iraqi Christians. Read the post for more of the back story. The hits on this post have been overwhelming! I have even been contacted by Iraqi Christians thankful for the support they’ve received in their hardship.
  2. ZAC’S STORY // AMAZING VIDEO RECORDED 3 MONTHS BEFORE TRAGIC DEATH – a powerful story of a young man whose life continues to impact other young people.
  3. KAKÁ RESPONDS TO BEING LEFT OUT OF THE #BRAZIL2014 #WORLDCUP TEAM – cool story from a great soccer player who know there is something greater than world cup glory. After Brazil’s embarrassing tournament, he was probably more than happy to not be on the team!!
  4. 6 QUESTIONS EVERY 18 YEAR OLD MUST ANSWER // #SCHOOLIES – this post got a surprising number of hits, and now I just need to finish writing all the posts!! Stay tune.
  5. WE’RE MOVING TO A NEW CITY! – this was big news for us. We’ve now been in Melbourne for the last 4 months, and things are going well. Our move has also coincided with less posts on this blog! I’m hoping to post more often in 2015.
  6. WHAT THE NEW NSW PREMIER THINKS ABOUT JESUS #NSWPOL #JESUSIS
  7. 10 GREAT PLACES TO FIND FREE IMAGES FOR CHURCH PROMO // GUEST POST BY JORDAN GILLMAN (@JORDESIGN)

KNOWING JESUS AND MAKING JESUS KNOWN IN A NEW CITY

Yesterday we enjoyed being part of His Story Our Story: a celebration of the last 7 years of City on a Hill in Melbourne’s historic Town Hall. I’ll share a bunch of the videos and content from the day throughout this week.

The first video? An announcement on our plans for planting City on a Hill in a new city!!

It’s early days, but here are three ways you can support us: pray; give; join.

If you are unable to watch the video above, you can read the script below:

PODCAST INTERVIEW ON ‘SOME ANSWERS’

some-answers

I was recently featured on the “Some Answers” Podcast. It was lots of fun recording with Sam Freestone. She’s an excellent host: funny; insightful; honest and keen to point people to Jesus. Check out the website for some excellent interviews and fascinating stories. Here is the blurb from my episode:

This interview is with Dave Miers. Listen as we navigate his life story from his love/potential career in soccer to his doppelganger Simon Burke from Playschool to how he became a full time follower of Jesus.

I am so ridiculously excited for you to hear this interview because it was so much fun to record AND because I loved hearing how solid and forthright he is in his faith despite the trials he and his family have faced. Please continue to rate and review on iTunes.
