`MISSION FOCUS #1
Next week’s Speaker will be DAVID WILLIAMS,
Regional Manager for CMS for SA and the NT. His
preaching topic will be Mission and the Heart of God.
The Key to the Greater Work
by Oswald Chambers.
“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me,
… greater works than these he will do, because I go to
My Father. John 14:12 (NKJV)
PRAYER does not equip us for greater works — prayer
is the greater work. … We must go to God as His child,
because only a child gets their prayers answered; a
“wise” man does not (see Matthew 11:25).
PRAYER is the battle, and it makes no difference where
we are. … Wherever God has placed us and whatever
our circumstances, we should pray, continually offering
up prayers to Him. His promise is in John 14:13. Yet
we refuse to pray unless it thrills or excites us, which is
the most intense form of spiritual selfishness. … He tells
us to pray (Mathew 9:38). There is nothing thrilling
about a labourer’s work but it … makes the ideas of a
genius possible. And it is the laboring saint who makes
the ideas of His Master possible. … May we be in the
habit of taking our orders from Jesus Christ.

Melbourne will go well. Pray that her return journey will be safe.

Romans 8:26
Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we
should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us
with groanings which cannot be uttered.
MISSION FOCUS #2
The AMT Christmas Offering is coming up in the next
few weeks and the details have been sent to all on the
WCC contact list. Please prayerfully decide on your
level of support as this is a once a year opportunity to be an encouragement to
the AMT missionaries.
Once again I would like to thank all of you who
were involved in the Operation Christmas Child
programme this year. 82 boxes were received
which have now begun their journeys to the
children who will be blessed by the contents.
