The tragedy in the DRC


Many of us at FNC on Sunday night were disturbed by the images we watched from the Democratic Republic of the Congo – graphic evidence of the human cost of the ongoing conflict there.

Here are some links to brief video clips sourced via the BBC that show more of the same. They are helpful in that they give us a bigger picture of the situation there:

Good news about Warren and Michael (both underwent surgery this week).
Results are very good, and God has been very gracious at answering our prayers.

Please continue to thank God and pray for a full and complete recovery.

Your story - God's work

Sarah (left) and another team member
Working through Acts 16-19 at FNC, we’ve been doing a bunch of thinking about Paul’s gospel work of planting and establishing churches.
I got to wondering how Paul would broached the whole issue of Jesus and the gospel when he first arrived in a town or city. Picture the situation. Here’s a town with loads of gentile religious people worshipping all kinds of pagan gods, and a bunch of traditional Jews meeting week by week in their synagogue.
None of them were likely to have even heard of Jesus and what he has done.

How does Paul open the door to speak about the gospel?

Seven plastic Jesus' - done to a crisp

Burn your plastic Jesus
Mark Driscoll hit Sydney last night in fine style.

He showed exactly why he connects so effectively with Gen Y (although he did just fine at keeping this Boomer awake!), combining an evangelistic talk with a wake up call to us Christians too.
You can buy a DVD, CD or audio download of the night from KCC, but here’s a snippet:
