Update...

G'day, i thought i would give an update on things here in Adelaide, with me and with Gen1....
I have been somewhat busy working and hanging out on the streets. This time next week i am going to be in the Gold Coast playing basketball, in the Salvation Army interstate comp, which i am looking forward to. Then when i come back i will be in Adelaide for 1/2 a day (in which i am planning on going out on the streets for and catching up with people), before heading to Melbourne for 2 conferences... The Spirit and Poverty.... and ... Surrender... which i am fully looking forward to, as i will be able to learn some stuff from the likes of Jackie Pullenger, Dave Andrews, and also network with other salvos that are doing incarnational ministries. I can't wait.
God has been showing me more of who i am, and some of the reasons of why i have given into certian temptation in the past, and how that had affected me over the years. Christ is also challenging me to be more disciplined... which i am still struggling to be.

With Gen1 things are still happening... God is still working... which is awesome to see and be a part of after being here for 2 and a half years. There is a few changes that may be happening in the coming months with Gen1... there is talk about us not being an out post from ach, cause of the lack of support from them. So with the official side of Gen1 i am not sure what is happening, whether or not we will officially be an outpost from somewhere. However i know that i am meant to be in Adelaide, and do this ministry... So Gen1 is going to continue, whether it is offically or not.
Some of the more exciting and praise points about Gen1 is that doors are opening around Adelaide... there is a day centre down the road that is mainly for people who are homeless, and i have been going along there regularly and the workers really want to partner with us, they have a passion to see the people there come to know Christ, and love the fact that i come in and have lunch there just to chat with some of the people. We have 7 people coming to cell regularly, and there still people coming and joining us... praise God... it is awesome... and it is all the work of Christ. In our cell, there are people who we have noticably notice a difference in there lives and can see them growing closer to either recieving Christ or closer in their relationship with Christ. I thank God for the opportuniy that He has given me in being a part of this cell, and also thank Him for using me to speak into people's life.
I praise God... cause there is still more He is going to do here, i can't fully imagine the whole of it... however i am excited for the future here in Christ.
