Insights from the ‘City to City’ conference

Over this past week I have been privileged to spend three days at the ‘City to City Pastors and Planters Conference’, featuring Tim Keller from Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York.

Whilst there are many insights that I will take and use in the weeks, months and years to come, a particular aspect of the conference that was of great interest was the challenge to truly understand the context of the suburb in which our church is located.

As we better understand the worldview of the non-Christian people in our local suburbs, then we’ll be better-equipped to ensure that the expression of our ministry at Oak Flats Anglican hits the mark for those in our city who don’t yet know Jesus, whilst we still maintain the historical truth that has been passed down to us.

Let us pray that God will give us great inroads into the suburb of Oak Flats and the region of Shellharbour, as we seek eagerly to see the lost won for Christ, in the power of the Holy Spirit, to the glory of God the Father.
