Roma Church

We arrived back in Roma 23rd September. Please give thanks for the local people who will kept ministry in Charleville going during our time in Roma.

Charleville

We arrived back in Charleville after the state Assembly, only to return to dad's bedside the following week. I have returned to charleville, Alison will be back soon. The big agenda item in Charleville is the Kids' Club programs. During the winter school vacation Wes and Di Fettel from AOC will be leading it each morning. In third term each week the locals and Alison and I will be providing a program to primary aged children.

Quilpie Sunrise

I delivered the sermon and helped lead the PIM service at Quilpie. Our intention had been to do other services but rain had made that less then feasible. We were up early so that Andrew the PIM patrol padre could do some fishing on his day off. We found a lovely spot near Cheepie on a big water hole in Beechal Creek a tributary of the Paroo River.

Our accomodation in Quilpie was courtesy of the McKays who run Opal House Quiplie which is gallery and accommodation in the "Brick" an historic two story brick hotel.

Road to Windorah

15th March saw us leave for our trip to see some far flung members of the Charleville congregation. Windorah is five and half hours drive. We stayed Wednesday night in Windorah before heading out to visit Scott. Later that afternoon we stopped in Quilpie (about 3 hours drive) to renew our conection with the Christians in Quilpie.

Wandoan Church

We will not be returning there, but please continue to prayer for the church in Wandoan and at Noonga. We remember the warmth of the Wandoan people.

Noonga Hall

Noonga Hall where there are afternoon services each month.
