Wake up!

The more that I get together with people from the South-West to discuss ministry in the South-West, I become more excited and, paradoxically, more appalled. There is so much potential here. It's insane. The South-West of Sydney is the most multicultural region of one of the most multicultural nations on Earth. I don't think you could number the different people groups, languages, nations that are represented here, it is a truly unique demographic. More than that, it's a mission field. Ok, everywhere is a mission field but, oh my goodness, why can't people see it? The South-West is the back door to the rest of the world! People have come from their closed countries and are just walking around waiting to hear about Jesus! There are whole churches in the South-West of people who used to be Muslim and now they are saved by grace! It is them that we need - because they then can go back to their countries, to their own people, whom they know best, and do God's saving work. It's ridiculous. How are we just letting these opportunities fly by? You don't need to go to Yemen, go to Fairfield! You will find someone from Yemen! Strategy. I flipping hate that word. Here's a strategy for you: preach Jesus to the South-West of Sydney and I'm telling you that you will reach the nations. Thank you Lord for opening my eyes!
