Australia Tour Photos

We were told that Australia has the most dangerous animals in the world. Or at least most poisonous. When we passed this sign I thought that Australia was posting the current number of human deaths by the wildlife. I thought wow! This is an interesting way of warning people to stay away. Just keep track of who's died and post the number.


Speaking on the radio. We had lots of fun and the station aired the broadcast twice!


I don't think I would have ever come to Australia unless God had presented the opportunity to speak about the orphans. With all the open doors that are here we are already talking about our next tour.


Sam & Julie Vidler. We have had so much fun working with them on this tour. I can't even begin to list out all the ways they have been a blessing to us.


On this tour we have been able to speak to hundreds of people about the orphans in China. Please pray that God would touch lots of people to volunteer for this summer's camp.


Thomas and James Vidler. Last Sunday we went to a bunch of church services with them. That's hard for a little guy. But they did great. Although Thomas said that his hand was sore from handing out so many DVDs. :>)

Meet me at row 17, aisle 54

A day at the beach in China-








Are we willing to leave all?

Hi Everyone, we landed in Australia and have had an amazing tour. We have had so much response that I think we might end up setting up an office here. Which I wouldn't mind. It is absolutely beautiful. The first morning I was here I woke up and went down to the beach for my quiet time. I felt like I had stepped onto the shores of Heaven. My eyes watered up thinking about how much God was blessing me.

But even more of a blessing is the family we are staying with here. They have welcomed us like family! They came to camp last year and spent one week with us. Since camp, God really touched their hearts and now they are packing up their house and moving to interior China to serve as doctors for orphans. They are leaving a beautiful house and an incredible view, as you see below, to follow God's call for them. What an amazing example to me of following God's call wherever and whatever it means. I'm reminded of Luke 18:29-30:

“I tell you the truth,” Jesus said to them, “no one who has left home or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God will fail to receive many times as much in this age and, in the age to come, eternal life.”
