On the road again.


It’s been a crazy week that’s gone so fast! We’ve been crazily trying to get all our washing done and get the last minute preparations sorted before we leave for outreach.

So tomorrow (Sunday) we’ll be heading out in the van and starting our adventure together. We’ll be heading to Mackay, Gladstone, Brisbane and Toowoomba over the next three weeks. It’s going to be a time to share God’s love through personal testimonies, skits, music, our actions and individual interactions.

Please be praying for us as we travel. Also, I’d like you to all pray for heaps of opportunities to speak to people and that they’d have open hearts to hear what we have to say. We have an incredible team with ranging skills and abilities, which will be fun to see how God uses us.

Thanks heaps to those have been writing to me! I love hearing from you!
Talk to you all soon, love Anthea xo

Here's some recent pictures:

A sweet camping experience


Wow! Crazy times! I arrived back home at the base in Townsville around lunchtime yesterday (Saturday). I LOVED IT! 

There was a lot of rain! I know there has been a huge abundance of rain back in New South Wales and it was the same for us! The first night was a huge lot of fun when the majority of the girls tents were saturated and everything turned to a soggy mess!! We were off to a good start of just learning to live with each other and get over the little things.

What an incredible time to hang out with everyone and get so much closer. The first week we heard some staff testimonies which allowed us to see what God had been doing in their lives. The second week we had a couple from the base come and speak to us about ‘Lordship’. As we learnt more about the Fear of the Lord and how it applied to our lives, I think we all really were humbled and grew in our love for God.

I personally learnt so much from God, enjoyed quiet times looking out into the bush and spending quality time with people that I just love! Little revelations of God’s love and faithfulness amounted to a much greater understanding of God.

There are some really cool stories that I’d love to share but I think that writing them here would take away some of the specialness so you’ll just have to call me or something. J

Hopefully I’ll get some pictures of camping up soon!
We have one more week here at the base and will be learning about ‘Spiritual Warfare’. Then we will head off for ‘minor outreach’ which will be around Queensland including Easterfest in Toowoomba! (Very excited!!)

As always, I love and miss you all!
