More Folk for the Kingdom in Port Hedland

Ladies Bible Study Group

Phillip, Elke, Lilly & Annabella Knight

As we were getting ready for our second Christmas at Port Hedland in the North West, we looked back on the last two years and wondered what God had in store in the future..

A lot of new things have happened since we arrived here in January 2006.

We have seen more dust and red dirt than ever before, been through a major cyclone, driven thousands of kilometres in ashort space of time, marvelled at the rough beauty of the outback desert, made friends with a wide variety of people and seen a lot of them leave town already, soaked up the fantastic weather in winter and endured the heat of summer mostly indoors – God bless the person who invented air-conditioning.

Our church family, though no less transient than the community as a whole (population 15,000 with a turnover of 8,000 a year), has been a great source of support and encouragement. We have seen people grow in their faith or make commitments to Jesus for the first time and now trust God to continue His work in their lives in the different places they have moved to.

It has been a privilege to work alongside seasoned BCA workers Bill and Jocelyn Ross and benefit from their experience, love and generosity.

Our larger family, i.e. fellow workers in this huge diocese, have also provided us with a great network of support and encouragement and we have thoroughly enjoyed the times we got to spend together at various events throughout the last two years.

We look forward to this year and the inevitable arrival of new people in town which presents us with fresh opportunities to connect and share the life changing message of the gospel with as many as possible.
