The
Colley's at Wilcannia warmly welcomed the Mottram team to
their Sunday 5pm function on their first day on patrol. Great
response to Jane's Prodigal Pig puppet and Phil and Steve's
music. Locals longed to hear more of Jesus Christ, and that's
why they came, regardless of the heat draining their energies.
They met the locals in town, a bit scary until at ease about
it all at the White Cliffs School next day. That's the way
each day unfolded. The team headed out to fit in as much as
possible in the few days. The Piper Lance took them to Tibooburra,
Alice, Yulara, Oodnadatta, Roxby, Leigh Creek, Broken Hill
and Ivanhoe all in the cause of Gospel outreach and to encourage
the few Christians in their towns.
Jubilant is the only way to describe the responses. Tim's
photos captured glorious scenes in colour, and would like
to show them around. They are truly the hand of an artist,
capturing God's greatest artistry. Best of all, Heaven's recorded
those whose lives were being changed through the power of
Christ's Gospel. The only delay occurred when the plane's
alternator failed, and Alice's MAF replaced it overnight.
From then on, the instruments worked perfectly. The team are
busy now in reporting tot their supporters the fruit of their
labour, and praying for another opportunity to return outback.
