I spent most of the week thinking it was the wrong day. Firstly because on Monday the whole family went to the ECM-Italy meeting a couple of hours to the south of Trento, which seemed like a weekend activity. So Tuesday seemed like Monday. As well as that Stefania had a slight cold, and so [...]

Today we had a visit from the church at Formigine, which is about 200m south of here, and where another one of Pinuccia’s cousins attends. The whole church came together, which almost doubled the number at the service. Since our hall is too small for us by ourselves, let alone when another church joins us, [...]

I have never been a great fan of Facebook, as the information I might have put there I have been writing instead on this blog. But I thought recently that is would be a good way to great my blog read more, and as a result more people praying, as probably more people read Facebook [...]

Pinuccia today went to the meeting where her work for this academic year (starting on Tuesday) was decided. Last year, she got the last available job. Now she is a bit higher in rankings and was able to choose one from the last three available. She was able to pick one which was a lot [...]

I did manage to work on quite a few small projects during this week, although I did not get as much done on the Bible studies for next year as I was hoping. So there will be a bit of work to do on those during the holidays. In fact we are leaving at 2am [...]

It is certainly a snowy winter this year – there have been more snowfalls than I can ever remember, even though for the most part they have been fairly light. Although heavy enough to disrupt quite a bit of my activities. So this week band practice on Friday and a bookstall at Rovereto on Saturday [...]

Yesterday was another heavy day (as Sundays often are on deputation), with more than three hours at two church services in the morning, and then another almost three hours in the afternoon at a recommissioning service at our main supporting church in Sydney (Carlingford Anglican). But the afternoon was very encouraging for us, reminding us [...]

I did the talk at the cathedral yesterday afternoon. The talk itself came out fairly well at the end, after slaving over it for a few days, and by Wednesday I had become more comfortable with doing it – thanks for praying for that. There wasn’t a lot of public though, about 20-30 people, of [...]

Note: I wrote this message last Wednesday, and only just realised that by mistake I had saved it rather than publishing it. So he it is anyway, which will help you understand the other post of today.
I was asked yesterday to do a talk at St Andrew’s Cathedral on Friday 18th, on the occasion of [...]

Next week will be another busy week, although not with deputation meetings. It is the annual prayer week for European Christian Mission in Australia, so most of the week will be spent, naturally, in praying. Although there will be a few other activities as well, since most of the ECM “family” will be gathered here [...]
