G’day from Steve,

Maps and Calendars.

The next time you open your Bible take a quick look at the maps in the last pages of this amazing book. They will reveal significant era’s in history. The exodus from Egypt of Moses and the people of Israel, the travels of Jesus and the disciples, the missionary journey’s of the apostle Paul. Some Bibles even have maps of Solomon’s temple where the ark of the covenant was placed after it’s own travels through the wilderness. It fascinates me that God is into maps and history yet he loves us enough to allow us to make our own way, ever present to rescue us from our self destructive decisions and careless behaviour.

For many months now we have been working on maps and schedules for the Heritage National Tour of Australia. A missionary journey in the same spirit as the great Apostle Paul. A team of people dedicated to proclaiming the good news and exciting believers to even more effective mission. Well.. we are on the road and working hard to make every concert a great event for the people who turn up. The concerts are free. We are trusting God will supply all our needs as we travel. It’s real faith adventures in action and we are determined to reach every destination on the map in the coming months.

Because of Jesus Christ, the presence of God no longer lives in the ark of the covenant in a sacred temple. The presence of God is available to all by the power of the Holy Spirit when we believe that Jesus died for our sins and that through Him we are reconciled to God, forgiven and free forever. That’s a message worthy of making some travel plans and praying over maps. People need to know that the very presence of God that raised Christ from the dead can live in them as well.

Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12.1

Thanks for your prayers and support for the Heritage Tour 2010. We are on the way and we are going for it…. no matter what.

Godspeed,
