Destination Wujal Wujal, Australia
I am currently at a house way high up in the mountains of Cairns, Australia where we will be getting briefed on our ministry for the month. I know just my small team of 6 will be headed to an Aboriginal community called Wujal Wujal. What is unique about this area of Australia is it’s only one of two places in the world where the Rain forest meets the Reef. It’s quite a sight to take in. We are here amongst some of the most deadliest spiders and snakes in the world we were briefed on this as we were picked up in a bus by our ministry contact. We will be miles away from any civilization. The only way to get to where we are going is by 4×4 vehicle as it is currently wet season here, the good roads are flooded and the roads we can take don’t even look like real roads. Mosquito’s here carry Malaria and some other similar disease so we’re in for a wile ride this month.
Not sure what to expect this month as far as ministry goes, but I am however very excited to work with the aboriginal people here. I know from what I’ve been told they are a people who are eager and hungry to learn about Jesus but have just been neglected by many people who have come before. Pray God opens hearts and ears while we are here this month. This is going to be a tough and yet exciting ministry month for us.
We will have no internet or phone access as we will be deep in the Australian bush. If I do get either of the two at all this month, I’ll consider it a blessing. I’m looking forward to being in a more remote place. It will be interesting to see how our team bonds this month as we do ministry together in close quarters side by side. This is what growing in community is all about. I’m excited to see how God deepens my relationship with Him deep in the Australian bush. We are not coming here to “Bring God” to the people, more so just show them how He’s already present and empower them.
Please keep my team and me in your prayers this month. For my supporters and readers I’ll try to blog if I get a chance but in all reality will probably not have internet until we fly to Asia on Feb 26th. So sit tight, and just think and pray for us as often as you can. Prayer is powerful and it’s a HUGE blessing. I’ve seen some amazing things happen as a result of prayer last month, I can only imagine what happens in the month of February in the middle of no where.
Love you guys thanks for all your support and prayers.
