Church

Australia Update

Oct 30, 2008

G’day mates!  Here are a few things that have been happening…and a few things on my mind about this weekend…

  • I’ve GOT to say this…this weekend at NewSpring Church is going to be the BOMB!!!  Seriously ladies…this would be the weekend you want to go ALL OUT to bring someone with you!
  • And guys…uh…trust me on this one…you REALLY want to be there!

Okay, now on to Australia…

  • I played rugby yesterday…and…I’ve still got some juice in me.  I delievered some good hits and took some as well…and I am still walking!!!
  • The guys told me that I was the first guest pastor that has ever came out & played rugby (these were college students!)  I wore that badge with honor.
  • Spent some time shopping yesterday…did not buy any skinny jeans or a scarf…and I probably won’t!!!
  • I haven’t shaved since leaving Monday…starting to look ROUGH!
  • Back to shopping…they don’t have many clothes down here in Australia for really big guys…even the XXL shirts do not fit!  WHICH is sad b/c a lot of the clothes are awesome!
  • Driving on the left side of the road FREAKS me out!
  • The people here at Hillsong Church are simply amazing!
  • Had the privilege of having dinner last night with Brian & Bobbie Houston…as well as the pastors from Hillsong England and Hillson Kiev…and the “campus directors” of the two locations here in Australia!  DANG…God has definitely placed an awesome group of leaders together!!!
  • I will be speaking a total of six times this weekend (four separate messages)...could really use your prayers!  :-)
  • Not sure what we are going to do today…but I am sure it will be awesome!

ONE MORE THING…just read THIS POST on Tony’s blog—dang, didn’t know we had over 700 registrations for Unleash!  AND…we’ve extended the deadline for our early bird registration!  Seriously, you might want to jump all over this!!!
