Great encouragement

the last few days have been hectic as for me with College mission and College graduation all happening. That said, its been also been a great 2 days with a lot of encouragement from God's word.

At Graduation last night we had a great talk from David Peterson about keeping our faith in God despite the hard times in life, especially in the face of the ongoing drought throughout Australia, the Qld floods and the Victorian Bushfires. he based it from Psalm 116 which is also the same passage that Richard Johnson preached on after arriving in Australia with the first fleet.

then this morning in Chapel we had a talk from an Anglican Bishop from Nigeria. it was really encouraging to be reminded of our role as ambassadors of the Gospel. it was also encouraging to be reminded that even though sometimes our words don't make an impact, that it will change someones life.

a great piece of encouragement from the talk was the idea that there is great rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents, and our 4 years in College will still be so worth it if through our life in ministry only one person comes to know Christ though our ambassadorship.
