Here is a quick update from Will and Nerida Henderson. Will and Nerida are starting a church in Brisbane, Australia and LifePoint has the opportunity help them. Here is what Will said in a recent email:
Well we are finally getting settled in our new home in Norman Park, Brisbane. There has been so much going on over the last few weeks it really is a blur as we think back. Here is a thumbnail sketch:
July 15 – Last night with our amazing friends at Mountain Lake Church.
July 18 – Flew out of Nashville, Tennessee 4.5hr trip to L.A. 6.5hr layover in L.A. Airport (bad) then 10hrs on to Fiji. 3 hr layover in Fiji then another 4 hours on to Brisbane. Nerida has vowed, “Next time we fly direct!”
July 20 – Met up in Brisbane with our good friends from Georgia, Gerry and Shannon Brown.
July 20–29 – Showed the Browns around South East Queensland and Brisbane.
August 22 – Austin Sisk, singer/musician from Georgia, arrived to help out for 3 months.
We have also managed to find a house to live in and have shifted everything from storage. Boys have started School and are absolutely loving it, which is a huge relief to Nerida.
We’ve had meetings, meetings, meetings with people interested in partnership and are praying for more contacts.
Thanks so much for your love, encouragement and support as we set out to start this new church in Brisbane. Your partnership is a blessing.
What can you pray for?
• First Team Meeting. We are SO excited about our first team meeting. We’re gathering together on Wednesday night the 2nd of September for a time of vision, fellowship and prayer.
• Our Team. That Jesus will gather and unite His team around His vision of seeing those far from Him engaged with Him and His life. That Jesus will bring many more positive contacts of people to make up the core team.
• Financial Support. Provision & wisdom in financial decisions before us.
• Our Family. That we will daily be reminded that it is Jesus’ church and He will build it. That anxieties will be placed at His feet and we will embrace the joys and blessings of this season.• Our Boys. That they will make a smooth transition into their new school and make some new friends.
• Meeting Place. That God will guide us to the right place to meet publicly.
