July Prayletter

You would think we would learn!


We forget, at times, that we should ask God for help,

and turn to Him in prayer. Like last November when

we were selling our home. 4 weeks of no offers, except

a verbal one. It dawned on us that we hadn't

prayed! We handed the sale over to God, and that

afternoon we received a written contract for more

than the verbal offer. More recently we put the caravan

on ebay and after 2 weeks it still hadn't sold. We

were puzzled as we have had no trouble selling on

ebay before! As we typed the June prayerletter we

realized again that we hadn’t asked God to help, and

it would be a good idea to put the van on the prayer

list. 3 days later we sold it for the price we needed.

We easily forget. Praise God we have His prompting

and guidance. Without Him life would be full of doubt

and worry. He is both forgiving and gracious to us,

even when we don't learn the first time!

Latest News

- Shalese had her appointment with the allergist 2 weeks

ago, and praise God, the peanut allergy is continuing to

drop (3 points) and all other nut allergies have completely

gone. Thank you to all who are praying. Her next appointment

is at the end of October. Please continue to pray

that there will be no sign of any peanut allergy. The Dr

was a little surprised, and I was able to announce proudly

that we had a lot of people praying that she would be

healed. Pray for the Dr, that a

seed will be planted in his life.

- We have had a wonderful

time speaking at churches

over the past 4 weeks. It has

been a great encouragement

to us and a reminder that we

are all in this journey together,

with one God, working

toward the goal.

Nathan's Band Showcase

This video shows us the skills of the precussion only, great beating Nathan!


In year 5, the students have 6 months of band to see if they enjoy it, and whether they will be chosen to continue on.  Nathan successfully was chosen to do precussion, and his drum lessons helped in his skills.  Well done Nathan!

School dress up days - Leanna and Shalese

I added this photo, even though it is blury, as Shalese is singing the national anthem - very patriotic Shalese!

Leanna had to dress up in her favourite occupation, and Shalese had to go in something that is an Australian Icon.  Check them out! Awesome job girls!!!
