ACL volunteers are amazing!

A man from a non-Christian background found his curiosity awakened when his daughter started attending a Christian school in Geraldton and came home talking about Jesus.

Christmas shoppers at Armadale Shopping City were delighted by our amazing Canning North Action Team on Saturday, when they distributed the Gospel of John with Christmas cheer!

‘…some seed fell on good soil. It came up, grew and produced a crop, multiplying thirty, sixty, or even a hundred times. Then Jesus said, “He who has ears to hear, let Him hear.” – Mark 4:8,9

The Gospel of John is going out far and wide, through our volunteer army! This past weekend was SA’s turn. South Australia’s delivery date coincided with New South Wales. A special day where the States that border each other could be spreading the gospel in the communities at the same time.  The delivery area spanned thousands of kilometres, which is very special when you consider that imagery. It was wonderfully exciting to have pick up points and delivery areas across all SA – including Kangaroo Island, up to the Barossa Valley and Laura, across to the Yorke Peninsula and down to Mt Gambier.

‘A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.’ John 13:34

There is no greater way to show love to our neighbours than to give them the greatest gift, the hope of Jesus and the blessing of eternal life with Him! What a life-giving and life-changing gift that is!

‘The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.’ John 1:14

The Gospel of John campaign has launched in the Northern Territory, with five teams spanning the length of the Territory – in Darwin, Palmerston, Humpty Doo, Katherine and Alice Springs. We had over 70 volunteers engaged over the weekend across the 5 locations. It was so exciting to have the youngest volunteer (4 weeks old) and the oldest volunteer (90) delivering gospels, with all ages in between!

Biased media, writing to MPs and Christian involvement in the public squares

As Christians, we are called to take the message of the Gospel to others in our society. But how can we best do this when that message is obscured by media bias or simple lack of interest? And, more importantly, why should we keep trying? Martyn answers some of your questions about public engagement.
