March
March is the beginning of Autume here in Australia. The weather is changing from hot to cooler weather with lots of rainy days. It is also the beginning of recreational sports seasons. Stephen joined a men's team in our area. Since before we left for Australia the plan was for Stephen to join a basketball team to be able to be involved in the community and evangelize. At the beginning of March Stephen went down to the gym to see about playing some pickup basketball. He was able to and then was told that on Monday nights they have more official games. The following Monday night he was able to go down to the gym. There was a team that was one player short he was asked to play. That happened to be the last game of the season. Stephen hit it off well with the guys and was asked to join for the upcoming season. This has been a great opportunity to show the love of Christ to the team.
Stephen also wrote his first movie review with an evangelism aspect. He watched and reviewed Bonhoeffer: Pastor. Spy. Assassin. The link to the review is attached below. He is excited to be able to continue into this ministry and see where the Lord leads.
Liz and Violet have been busy with swim lessons, connecting in the community, and keeping the house running. Liz is hoping to be able start a Christian book club with a few ladies at church in the coming weeks. Everything is going well with Liz's pregnancy and the baby appears to be healthy.
With the new baby on the way and one or two partners needing to take a step back we are currently below 100% of our monthly finical need. This is about $400 dollars shy of ABWE's set monthly budget. We are praying that the Lord will provide the full monthly amount needed by the time of the baby's arrival in August. If you are willing and able to help us meet this goal please reach out.
