PACK PACCK PACK PACK… PACK SOME MORE
Yes we moving again!!! The start of July
saw us pack up our home in La Lucia for a move across 3 suburbs to the church
house. We were all both sad to leave our
little home but thrilled to have bigger space, newly painted smartly completed
kitchen and huge garden with space for a tree-house J In all we had mixed feelings
of moving to be neighbors to the church – Troydie was telling all his friends
at school that we were moving to the church!! I had several moms ask if we were
okay? It was only until we drove in the drive way of the new house did he
realize that we were living separate from the church J
Well, you could say now that we are seasoned movers as we have moved 4 times in 6 years – God has been gracious – Mark says it adds 40 years to your life every time it is definitely NOT for the faint hearted. Pray for us as we settle in our new space and make it home. We are really excited to be able to use our home for ministry pray we will have loads of opportunities to share Jesus with others in our home.

I did take us all of July to feel AT HOME –
so much to do, so much to unpack and with having more space the boyz are
feeling a little far away from us at night so it has been like we have newborn
babies in the house all over again as
they venture out of bed in the dark to lose their way down the passage – we now
have night lights throughout the house J
Mark had a wonderful birthday – the boyz so
enjoy birthdays that we cannot celebrate unless there is cake and candles –
Praise Jesus for health and strength for Mark as he ministers for Jesus.
Ministry
NEW SENIOR PASTOR – John and Liz arrived
safely and have taken the month of July to find their feet in ministry and home
life. It has been great to get to know
them both and we are all excited to be involved in ministry together at Durban
North Baptist Church.

YOUNG ADULTS WEEKEND AWAY –We had the
opportunity to join with all our young adults down at the beach on the south
coast – Hiberdene. It was a lovely
weekend of fellowship and fun as we got to know each other better, disciple,
encourage, support and work together.
Mark lead the devotion times and the boyz so enjoyed all the
attention. We praise God for the way
that he has build this group up from no one to 30 in the short time we have
been serving at DNBC – praise Jesus for spiritual and physical growth in this
age group of our church.

LADIES DAY SEMINAR – this was the first
time Tan was invited together with her mom to be the guest speakers for a
Ladies Day Seminar. Their theme for the
day – “Mountains thru Scripture”. They
had a very special time studying God’s word together. The Seminar also included worship, craft,
drama, and worship drama and prayer time.
In all it was a fantastic opportunity to share Jesus with others - God
is great!
In all God has been good - Mark has continued to preach several services each month, lead 2 bible studies, speak at several Youth events and also lead worship for several morning and evening services. Our lives are full, busy and exciting - we are so enjoying serving the Lord together and praise Him for this special opportunity to shine for Him.Thanks for your love, support , care and
prayer for us – God bless in Heaps
Mark, Tan and Troyd, Treyson and Tryston
