Friday-Sunday: 12-14 June

A Whirlwind of Blessings!
Gympie was a wonderfully busy stop on our journey – full of divine appointments, inspiring people, and so many reasons to praise God!

Essie Works Her Magic at the Mall
On Friday, Essie was set up in the main shopping mall and she drew a wonderful amount of interest from the public. One man we spoke to was so touched that he came along to church the very next Sabbath morning. What a beautiful fruit from a simple, faithful conversation!

Equipping the Church
At the church, I had the privilege of sharing two parts of The Healthy Church training program – and what an engaged and hungry group they were! In a truly touching moment, a couple of relatively new SDAs drove nearly two hours from Kingaroy just to be there – even though they had already heard the messages down there. This young lady and her daughter are so clearly seeking the Lord with everything they have. God sees that, and He is faithful to meet them right where they are.

Gympie Markets — Connections Everywhere!
Sunday brought us to the Gympie Markets with Essie on display, and it was a joy-filled morning! We gave out heaps of literature and made the most wonderful connections with people from all walks of life.

A Marathon Story That Must Be Told
One encounter in particular stopped us in our tracks, in the best possible way! We met an extraordinary couple who had run right around Australia, completing at least a marathon every day. And here’s the most inspiring part: he was 68 and she was 64 when they did it. All to demonstrate the power and vitality of a plant-based lifestyle. What a testimony! I’ve got their details and am very much hoping to sit down and interview them when we pass through in early July. Theirs is a remarkable story that absolutely needs to be shared with the world.

A Team Worthy of Praise
We simply could not close this chapter on Gympie without giving a huge and heartfelt shoutout to the Gympie team, who were just amazingly supportive, helpful, and generous in every way. We are so grateful for them and even more so for God who made every single bit of this possible. To Him be all the glory!
