Evangelism success at the TAFE
Well my evangelism lately is having more success with the 'Aussies' than with the Africans. I'm having great chats with Robert and Glenn. Please pray for them. Today we talked at length about the evidences for Jesus' resurrection, about whether faith must mean commitment without evidence, whether there is absolute truth or meaning, and much more. Pray that these guys will come to a true and lively faith in the Lord Jesus. Nearly all the sound engineers are open to chat, so that's great... Praise God for that.

Launch a success
Well, I think our launch was big success. Well done to all. It was encouraging that many of the skater boys were willing to come over, take free stuff, take our card advertising us..... and one couple of boys even suggested they might come to church with us. Also, Linda wants to join us. (The lady that came with Rosemary found out about us through the Messenger article......Bravo!)
Listen to me on Life FM 10.10 Thursday 18th March
Yep, there's 15 minutes worth of Mike being interview. Please pray I commend Jesus with what I say!

Money for Alina's family
Hi all,
Alina's family are struggling in Tanzania at the moment. She has 8 brothers and sisters (4 brothers, 4 sisters) there. Three of them are married, and some of those families have children. Alina's Mum and Dad are also there. There is no food anymore, because UNHCR have left and the Tanzanians want the refugees to go, so they are restricting further their freedoms. For example, no more pet goats allowed.
Only 30000 refugees now remain, meaning that the majority have returned to Burundi.
Alina's father believes if he returns to Burundi, he will be killed. This is because the man who is now staying on Alina's dad's land will not want him to return and claim the land which is rightfully his. He will arrange for Alina's Dad to be killed, they are sure about that. Many of the Burundian refugees who have returned have been killed - not in public battles, but in quiet targeted killings of this sort, or of a political nature.
I have said we will get together $500 and send it over to help them eat for 3 months. Please pray they will get refugee visas so they can come out of there.
