Week after week we see the Holy Spirit move. Often he comes with stillness and peace, refreshing hearts, healing the sick and bringing the conviction of sin leading people to repentance and following after Jesus. We believe that this is just the beginning of what the Holy Spirit is up to. We can't wait to see what he has in store for us.
Sunday May 8th marks the day of our first baptisms. Anthony baptised 3 men in the local pool at Moulden. Conan, our resident evangelist, has baptised others at the water park in Leanyer. Thank you Jesus for free water parks in Darwin.
We have seen a move of repentance and people rededicating there lives to Jesus. Many people are returning to Jesus after giving their lives to Jesus years earlier. God is lighting the fire again in peoples lives, birthing a hunger for him and his word. We are also seeing many first time commitments to follow Jesus.
We have seen so many miracles at church and on the streets. We haven't been able to document them all.
On our midweek catch up Paula and Anthony prayed for a man named Tony. Tony had a broken toe. He was in pain and walked with a pronounced limp. After a couple minutes of prayer he felt relief as the pain had gone. He walked, jumped, jogged with no pain or limp. He hugged Paula with genuine happiness and gratitude. People walking past commented on his joy and celebration. Praise God!
uring one of our Sunday meetings a witch doctor was talking with Paula. He told Paula that he was going to visit Paula in her in the night. Paula replied that Jesus was going to protect her and that he wasnt going to visit her. Two nights later while sleeing Paula felt a sensation as if somebody was knocking on her body in her dream. In her dream Paula saw a door resembling that of a castle door, extremely solid wood with the big metal bars on the other side keeping everyone out. Paula felt the knocking on her body. Once Paula saw the door she heard him knocking. At this point of the dream Paula knew it was the witch doctor and that she was protected, there was no way for him to get in. Upon reflection of the dream it highlights Jesus' protection over all our family and reminds us that Jesus is the greatest power.
This practice in Indigenous culture is common place. While we aren't experts in this field we have been able to pray for people who have had curses put on them and to set them free and for those who practice witch doctor or black magic to stop and recognise the one true God. A lot of fear surrounds this part of Indigenous life. As Jesus said in Luke 4 " I have come to set the captives free".
This is a huge testimony. When we started The Meeting Place Church we never anticipated the support we would receive and had no idea how much we would truly need it. God has blessed us abundantly with these great people in our lives.
Recently The Meeting Place Church has come under the banner of Indigenous Ministry Links. We have had relationship with them since mid 2021. IML are a great support through admin, resources, networking and spiritually.
This year we have established strong relationships with YWAM Darwin and the teams that travel to Darwin and Glory City Darwin Church. Fire Church Melbourne are also supportive through sending mission teams and providing resources. These partnerships/friendships God has put together. YWAM and Glory City Darwin are involved with us on Sundays, support practically and prayer pray for us regularly.
Fire Church Melbourne, headed by Frank Clancy are arriving in July to minister with us for two weeks. All of these organisations have blessed us with prayer, food, sound equipment and helps on a Sunday morning and evangelism.
