A Message from Stuart
“may your saints rejoice in your goodness”
2 Chron 6:41
I have two good things to tell you about today. One brings to an end our focus on Mosman to Mozambique and the other is a new initiative for next year. So there is a final step and a next step.
The final step is to bring to an end all the hard work of prayer and fund raising and effort that has gone into sending a team from St Clements to Mozambique. Now officially it will come to an end with our night on Thursday night but I did want to thank all those who have prayed, given etc., so that this mission could be such a success.
The money finally went this week. $39,492 USD was received at the orphanage to help them in their ministry. Jonny, the finance manager at the Orphanage wrote back saying, “thanks for the enormous donation you have sent us. It is a huge privilege to use the money to extend God’s kingdom and we know that it was a sacrifice of love from your church to raise the money” Great news.
So we bring this all to an end, thanking God for what we were able to do and thanking Rod and Melanie Walker for all their hard work. A great effort.
But it is not over for ever. We are planning a return visit next year, and if you are interested (whatever your age and stage) speak/apply to Stuart or Anna and they can let you know the details.
The next step is just as exciting. On Monday night Parish Council decided to employ another staff member for next year. Our particular concern was for youth and older children (boys in particular) and through the grace and kindness of God someone has come forward with these gifts.
Peter Oates is currently working at Lane Cove as an assistant minister. Peter has worked in youth and children’s work at St Thomas North Sydney and at Shenton Park and Dalkeith Anglican Churches in Western Austraila. He is back in Sydney now and has really strong gifts in youth and boy’s work. I am very thankful to God for such a provision and for a man with such a heart for Mosman.
Peter is married to Deb and they have 2 girls Chloe and Bronte. They will begin with us in mid Jan 2011 and be staying in their own home in Lane Cove. Of course fund raising will need to happen to make this all possible (stay tuned) but, believe under God, this is a great next step for us here at Mosman.
Let us give great thanks to God for what he has done among us and look forward to what He will do among us in the weeks/years ahead.
