Canvas Chronicles

If you’re heading to Big Camp this year, I’d love to see you at the ADRA Champions & Pastors Lunch.

Monday, 21 September, 12pm to 1pm
Women’s Ministries Tent, Watson Park Convention Centre

Even if you aren’t staying at camp, you could still join us for lunch.

This is a chance to catch up, share a meal and chat about how ADRA can support you to serve your community. I’ll share a few ADRA updates and introduce Mission Ready, a practical pathway and platform to equip churches with training and ready made projects.

Please RSVP so we can confirm catering and dietary needs.

10,000 Toes team is doing Doppler assessments for a donation in the Expo Hall every afternoon from 2.30-5.30pm (Sunday – Friday).

Come check your toe health and browse our new Indigenous-inspired socks and shirts, created in collaboration with Mamarapha College.  

All the seats in the LE Hall were taken and people were standing at the back to hear how to flourish in their relationships and what factors made their attachment style. Also how to raise children that have secure attachment.

It was full of fascinating research and a vision of hope for the future and personal healing. This slide was her most popular, but they were all amazing. If you missed it contact the AAC and see when she is presenting again, it was worth it. The damage can be real as seen in this quotable highlights…

“Even though these children appeared calm on the outside, inside they were anything but.. “

However her closing message was wonderfully fitting as “Attachment is not destiny. It is a story we an rewrite at any age”

“I came to Catalyst to have a closer relationship with Jesus. It has changed my life in ways that I could only describe as the total will of God. It has taught me what my mission is and how to embrace it, with tools to equip me in going out to be a disciple of Jesus Christ who is lead by the Holy Spirit. I am a current catalyst student and my journey with catalyst helped me unpack my relationship with Jesus in relation to my ministry. It has been an incredibly safe and supportive space to deepen my faith and truly give my life to God and his plans for my life.”

The Catalyst Discipleship program is designed to help people of all ages from 18 and above to experience God at a much deeper level. During the full 13 week program, students are immersed in a deep study of the identity of Jesus, the role of the Holy Spirit in our life, finding our spiritual shape for ministry, and understanding their role as a missional disciple of Jesus. Whatever you think Catalyst is, we promise you it’s better, more spiritual, more exciting, more challenging, and life changing than that. Valerie is one of our current Catalyst student students, and her story is one of many.

The Catalyst team are on site at big camp this week through till Thursday. Come talk to us. We can be found at the booth in the Youth tent as well as the adults tent on Friday evening, where we will be doing a promotional talk. If you’d like to know more about Catalyst, please contact Pastor Nick Kross.

The key message I received from Pastor Reuben in 25+ on Sunday night was to praise God at any time. There should not be a time that is set aside to praise and give glory to God. We need to praise him when we are in times of need, give him glory in times of joy, uplift his name in time of grief, sorrow, happiness, peace… any time. Like Paul and Silas, they were singing and praising God in prison at midnight… before the earthquake occurred, so we should too before calamities might occur. God wants the best for us, like a father or mother wants the best for their children, much more does God want the best for us, his children. He is the only one worthy of praise and glory and worship as He has already paid the price and given us the gift of His life in us. All praise to Jesus… amen. – Leighton Donaldson
