Kings and Servants

The Sydney Kings are looking quite strong again in the early season...I love the bottomless bench. In the last game against the Tigers (one of the top teams in the competition) we actually gained points in the spread when our "bench" players were on court. It would be interesting to see what would happen if we actually started the bench! I think they would hold their own. What a great bunch of guys to work with.

Several of us are meeting now weekly (after a team recovery session) to study the Bible in depth. We have started on the book of Galations and enjoying it so much that all three of us have been encouraging other team mates to join in with us. A few nibbles but no bites yet.

It has been fun to have the wife of one of the players join us...and another promising to come along!

With my other job, I am in Wollongong with over 120 other Campus Crusade for Christ workers (in conference) talking about the mandate for Jesus' followers to "multiply movements everywhere so that everyone knows someone who truly follows Christ". What a privilege to be with such a high calibre of servants.

Today we honoured the first graduating cycle of the 54:2 Leadership Development process by having them share what they have been learning with the rest of the workers there. The second cycle of the process will begin within the next couple of days.
