Revive church (Melbourne, Australia) was launched in March this year by a group of young people. The focus has been prayer, reading the Word, an environment of encouragement and support, relevant worship, sharing and socializing with their friends. Saturday 25 August started at 11.00 with 1.5 hours of prayer – and as preparation was made for the baptism and worship time (4.00 pm) groups were meeting and praying. Each of the five young men who were baptized – Matt, Josh, Paul, Troy and Matt – shared how Jesus had impacted their lives. Almost 300 friends gathered to witness their baptisms – many witnessing a baptism and its meaning for the first time. Ken & Heather Raymond who are planting a house church (Mornington New Life) say, “It was a fantastic event!” Check out www.myspace.com/revivechurch for events cafe times, prayer weekends, Lif Groups, JEM Mission Trips, etc.
Thanks so much Peter for being there on the weekend and for your support all throughout this adventure we’re on. It has really been wonderful to know that you’re there and that you understand and that you’re backing us. We pray that God continues to support, nurture and encourage you as you go about changing this world for Him.
Thank you! Claire
Claire, it is really encouraging to see what God is doing in and through Revive. To honour Him, I sense that God will want what is happening multiplied. Thanks for being faithful to His call. Peter
On behalf of Worawa Aboriginal College thank you to all of the young people at Revive who volunteered their time and effort and were on hand to welcome Worawa College students at staff at the time of our evacuation from our boarding school during the time of the Victorian Bushfires. Thank you!
