Arrived… Its cold – that’s Melbourne for you…
I had the worst fish and chips in Melbourne the world. Thick doughy batter that was inedible and soggy three day old chips… The little Italian woman at the shop doesn’t speak enough English to understand ’squid’…
"Can I have some squid rings please?"
"I don’t know what he is…"
I [...]
Around 4 times a year I try to produce an update on what is happening in our lives as we live and work here in Brightn Its a bit of a summary of what we are seeing happening in the local area and where we see God at work. Its mostly Danelle’s and my story [...]
I’m off tomorrow morning to the Forge National Summit. Its the first one we have had, so it’ll be interesting to see how it feels to be around 400-500 people all sharing the same sense of mission and purpose.
I have two sessions to present, one entitle ‘A Daring adventure or Nothing – The Heart of [...]
In September we will have lived in Brighton for 2 years – time really has flown by. People ask me if I enjoy living here and I can only say that I love it – really love it. Its not that this is the world’s greatest suburb or anything like that. Its a patch of [...]

Each Wednesday I meet up with a small group of guys who are also in the process of thinking thru what it means to do mission and be church in this 21st C. Its one of those informal groups that has managed to sustain itself on some good relationships for over 2 years now.
This Wed [...]
For those who can’t make the Forge National Summit here’s a ‘heads up’ on a great weekend of inspiration coming up. It just so happens we have 3 cutting edge, creative thinking missioners in
Perth
at one time so we are looking to use them for a ’storyfest’ around new ways of being church and [...]
Like most bloggers I am interested in how many people read this thing – where they are from. their comments etc.
Lately it has fluctuated between 400 a day and 120 a day people reading and looks like it is on a downwards spiral in terms of reader numbers. Who knows why?… (maybe people have realised [...]
This bloke is coming to Perth again this week.
I am interested in going to hear him, but I’m not sure I’d get a seat. I heard that last time he came he was ’sold out’. I find it unusual because he isn’t overly inspiring in his ads.
But when you look at his website and [...]
