A Church has been planted...

Soooooo........Its been a long, long time since I have last blogged about the adventure of planting a church in Darwin. Between this post and the last post a church has been planted and as all things do when they are planted - they grow! I could make excuses as to why I haven't blogged in such a long time. After all, we have been keeping ourselves busy with starting the church. At this stage I am not going to write a history of the last 2 1/2 years - although I will try to post some pics to give a snapshot. All I will say at this point is that God is faithful. Precious people have found Christ and are on the journey of discipleship. The church is made up of people who have been Christians for years, months, weeks and also people who are still checking out this whole Jesus thing! When the church was first planted the oldest person in the church was only 35 years old, and we only had a few children, whereas now we have a wide range of ages. During 2011 we had a church baby boom, I think I counted 8 babies born within the space of 12 months!! Darwin has an incredibly transient population so we have seen a lot of people pass through the church on the way to their next destination. It has been hard to say goodbye to so many people in only 2 1/2 years, however what a blessing that our church family has been able to play a part in their Christian journey for even a short space of time. I promise the next blog post will be soon!!
