Griffith Gleanings September 2016

Psalm 133:3 It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the Lord bestows his blessing, even life forevermore.

GRIFFITH GLEANINGS
We are grateful for the ways that doors have opened for us to share together with you in God’s mission to the Khmer of Cambodia. Thank you for your commitment in connecting with us and encourage us in so many ways.

Together we stand as one because of Jesus. We are grateful for you standing with us.

Rev. Silas Mead (1834-1909) a forerunner in shaping Baptists from Flinders St Baptist Church. Respect for history.

Laura Baptist Church family reminded us of the value of the way God connects with us. Highly recommended is the local Laura Hills Lamb served afterwards from the BBQ.

Seaton Baptist women’s group has been meeting for 64 years great cloud of witnesses. Faithful prayer warriors.

Rob:

Some upheaval is in the process of beginning to say goodbyes to home, friends, family and work. There is much comfort knowing the generous Father who is guiding us and holding us in his hand through this process and the unknown parts of the journey ahead. Psalm 139:9,10 “if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast”.

Alan Turland with wife Gay served in PNG with Global Interaction a great cheer squad for God.

SEPTEMBER 2016

Thank you to those who have already committed to supporting us in prayer, or in a financial way.
Please seek God’s leading in this area of what supporting us means for you.

Our “donut” chart that tracks how our funds received and pledges are going has risen to 68 % of the support target that we need to go to Cambodia. Thank you to those who have joined our partnership support team in a financial way. God’s promptings to resource his call for the Khmer of Cambodia. We are seeking to have a completely blue shaded donut before the end of the year.

Deb:
God is more than sufficient to be an anchor as the tide ebbs and flows with home, work, personal and family changes. Trusting in him has no limits. He holds us when we humanly waver. Strong in God’s strength and power. Recently in the country around Laura the large trees loomed yet spoke to me of being rooted in him. Hebrews 6:19 We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain…

John and Marion Wilkins, with Tania and Jessica Rainsford share a heart for Cambodia.

Grange Baptist Church Mission Fair invited many agencies to provide an interactive engagement with church family to continue the focus on God’s call to mission.
