Coming home

It's fitting that this is post 601 - starting a 'new hundred' now that I start another period back at Marion Corps.

Many people have been asking me about coming home. How am I travelling? Has it taken much adjustment? In some ways it has been quite a shock - not least of which has been experiencing the Adelaide cold after a few months of African heat.

In other ways, nothing has changed. The mission we undertook in Mali is the same that we undertake here in Australia. The call that is on our lives to save souls, grow saints and serve humanity is the same here as it is in Africa. The need to know God, grow in God, show God's love and go in God to change the world is ever present.

Perhaps the symptoms of the needs of people are different. Perhaps the scale or the severity is different. The resources for the mission are certainly different. But the mission itself is the same. We are always in the business of shining God's light so that others may see what we do and give him glory - and, we pray, join us as disciples.
