How we should pray


Today was the 2nd last Sunday I will teach at Newlife Church.
It was AWESOME to be able to introduce the new Pastor - Rev Jack Teepa!
It is a big deal to me. I love the people that make up this church.
I know my wife is really sad about the relationships that are in flux.
I'm upset that my boys are grumpy about their toys being packed up.
BUT we all know this is the way forward for us as a family.
Please pray for us. Pray that we will keep growing and changing, changing more and more into the people God wants us to be. More kind, generous, open and passionate about sharing the truth about Jesuse with those who're far from God.
We are excited about the things God wants to grow and teach us in the next few months.

Pharaoh Lives!!

It's hard to believe but my quiet, lovely, always relaxed wife is a bit of a Pharaoh when it comes to packing up all our stuff!!
Today at least on four different times she has asked me to do 2 tasks at the same time.
Now I have to admit - there is NO WAY I can not do any more than 1 task at once and when she asks me to answer the phone, pack and shift a a box my brain literally goes into meltdown.
Anyway, we are still working on the plan. I have just an insight as to how the Israelites felt... just kidding. It's a blessing that the boys are with Nanny and Pa as we pack!!

Church Plant Video

Hey, as you know on the 22nd of July the Hendersons fly out to the U.S. to undertake a one year church planting internship under the guidance of David Putman and Shawn Lovejoy and ChurchPlanters.com
This is the clip that Matt and Katie Ebenezer put together for Mountain Lake Church. As you can see they did an awesome job!! Thanks Matt and Katie.
If they say a picture can speak a thousand words... this clip blows it out of the park!!

Nerida's Piano

Today Malcolm, Chris, Dad and I shifted Ned's Piano!!
AGAIN!!
I must say, the love of a husband and Grandfather is seen by their willingness to shift pianos. I love you Nerida. And I hope that the next lift is done professionally. Hmmm.

My last Series at Newlife


Tomorrow I begin my last series of Messages as the Pastor of Newlife. Over the next three weeks I want to work through the humanity of Jesus as our Saviour and God. Kinda sad to be working on the last three talks. But encouraging to know that Jesus is the Good Shepherd and He will continue to care for His flock.

Please Pray

Please Pray for us... the Henderson Family as we prepare to leave beautiful Australia for the awesome U.S. of A!!
We need your prayers for the simple areas of transport, finances etc as we land in a new town to start work on what it takes to launch a new church in South East QLD in 2009.
Thanks for your partnership in prayer for this. Nerida and I truely appreciate it.

Timing is impecable

I am again dumbfounded by God's sense of timing. God who is beyond time, who exists in time past, present and future delights in showing up just in time.
I thank and praise God for His perfect timing. And for His grace to enable me to live trusting in His perfect care, always right on time.
