transforming families and communities through christ-centred relationships
With the launch of a new service comes an opportunity to do some things different. I’m quite convinced that all along we were meant to hear God’s word preached from people who were real, genuine and authentic in their walk with God. Check out 2 Corinthians 4:7, which talks about how our frailty on the… [Continue Reading]
It was so good to get back to Australia … even if it was for a week. I hadn’t really realised how much I missed hearing the Aussie accent, and seeing friends and family. It was like putting on your favourite pair of socks! (mine are actually so old they have holes and May Yen… [Continue Reading]
A few weeks ago we joined our church's "Celebration of Hope" and signed up for packing food to be shipped to the poor in Africa.

Just wanted to write a bit about a great chat I had with Ps. Tim Goh, Senior Pastor of Life*Expedition. We were at BBQ House, Richmond. We catch up every month or so, and every time we do its like a breath of fresh air. We talk about anything and everything, but its usually about… [Continue Reading]
Just saw Quantum of Solace last night with my wife (first movie date in months). Its the second in the new series with the new Bond, and I loved it Ok, any guy who slept with a heckler & koch toy gun under his pillow till he was in his mid twenties can't be trusted… [Continue Reading]
For everyone asking about my last message (esp. those who missed Sunday Service), I've managed to get an audio version of it to put online. DVD and CDs can be ordered at church .. hehe .. I sound like I'm marketing some product. Mainly, I'm putting this on here so that I can test out… [Continue Reading]
