Summer Celebration: 29 to 31 December 2000
A mini Capernwray program is to be held 29 to 31 December 2000, as an
alternative to our traditional full-scale Summer School. The idea is to create
an inspiring 3 days - a time that is perhaps more accessible, time-wise,
especially given the quite full program in store over the next 12-18 months.
Local speakers will include Lynton Allan, and Keith Adams for a refreshing
and encouraging mini program in the 'Capernwray Queensland' style which so many
of us have come to love. The venue will be Camp Tamborine, Mt Tamborine
Convention Centre (the location, in fact, of our first Capernwray Qld program
some 13 years ago!). Enclosed brochure gives details. If you would like to come,
may we welcome you in advance and encourage early registration to Al and Karen
Drew.
Upcoming Programs
Easter 2001 - Exciting joint program. Capernwray will combine with Mt
Tamborine Convention to present a wonderful program of ministry and fellowship
with Charles Price and Hans
Peter Royer. Mark this in your diary and make sure
you are there; anticipate a precious time of fellowship, reflection and
motivation. It will be held at the Convention Centre, Beacon Road, North
Tamborine.
Spring School 2001 -; awaiting confirmation from Bob
Hobson.
2002 - Summer School - Charles Price and Johan Schep have confirmed.
Further possibilities are in train for programs with speakers Bob and Amy George
and Sonny Westbrook.
Watch for the further details on the above..
Information on Lynton Allan
Lynton continues to be a source of friendship, encouragement and inspiration
as people 'walk in' to his Gallery in the Old Burleigh Arcade, 'See Change'.
Lynton and his family continue to need our support as Lynton's presence at the
Gallery means that he is not gaining the financial support that his more
itinerant ministry attracts.
While Lynton selectively maintains some travelling work, this part of his
ministry has reduced as he balances his various roles, including family
commitments.
Please regard these issues in your prayers and contribute to their support if
you will. We commend Lynton, Marjo and family to you that you might consider
ways you might assist in making possible the continuation of Lynton's ministry,
chiefly centred on the Gold Coast.
Jody Nelson and the boys
Jody is going though a more settled phase but the ache without Mike is real.
Further finance is needed if bringing Jody and the boys to Australia briefly in
May 2001 is to be a reality.
Thank you to those who have already responded. Your gifts will go directly to
Jody and the boys for a gift of, or towards, airfares. The plan is a small token
of thanks and friendship as we recall Jody and sons, Jonathan, David and Brandon
sparing Mike on so many occasions over so many years. All contributions will be
welcome, should this be something to which you feel you can contribute.
Jody says that her job at the company where Mike last worked is stable and
that she is thankful for it. She and the boys have moved to a modest rented
place, and her mother is closer now. The boys are trying to pick up the threads
of their studies and activities.
Dynamic Outreach
Capernwray Tape distribution was initiated many years ago by Graham and
Maralyn Phillips whose wonderful open-house and open-hearted ways are a blessing
to many. The ministry goes from strength to strength today with Bruce and
Beverley Tulloch telling of heartwarming stories of folks reached and blessed
through the tape and book ministry. This edition, we wish to publicly thank
these folks who are demonstrating such joy in their availability to Christ in
this dynamic area of the Queensland work.
Bellow is a message for this newsletter from Bruce and Beverley Tulloch, who
are based at Burleigh Heads, Gold Coast. We close with their message and the
encouragement it is to all of us that it's not so much where we are, but who we
are, and Who is at the helm of our lives for life to be rich and fulfilling. The
Tullochs write:
Dear Friends
Greetings from the book and tape centre. We are being kept busy with orders
from people who are sharing their faith with friends and family - especially
those who have recently grasped the concept of Christ living in us and working
through us. It is so encouraging when we receive letters and 'phone calls
telling us how much the tapes and books have helped them and changed their life!
A couple of months ago four ladies drove all the way from Casino to purchase
material for their Bible study, excited at seeing the topics and titles
available. These ladies didn't know that we were voluntary workers who operated
from our home - they assumed we were a shop which was always open. The
providential aspect was that we had returned from holiday the previous evening
so fortunately we were home.
A friend of a friend went to Perth and shared some Bob George material with a
lady there. She has now sent four orders for more material and is sharing with
her Fellowship group. We are enjoying in-depth phone conversations with her.
A person in a country town in New South Wales obtained a copy of some Charles
Price tapes. These have now been shared with so many people who have wanted
their own sets. There must be about 15 sets in homes in that one town. The
feedback is very positive - they are loving the messages presented by Charles.
Recently we received a shipment of 'Classic Christianity' and 'CC. Study
Guides' from Bob George to replenish our stocks. This is a great book to share
with others or for our own library. Charles' two books have been reprinted with
new titles and covers. They are now called 'Stop Trying to Live for Jesus' and
'Christ in You'. However, the content is still the same. We have new stocks of
these books. Many people have appreciated the special offer of $20 for the set
of 8 study guides in the 'Closer Look At…' series. This offer is still
available and they can also be purchased separately.
It is wonderful that Mike Nelson's vibrant personality and messages lives on
with tapes and videos. Many people have taken the opportunity to remember Mike
in this way and share his message with others. All the sets on the catalogue are
still available.
We personally shared a wonderful time of fellowship with Sonny at the end of
June. We now look forward to a time of sharing and fellowship in December at Mt
Tamborine.
Yours in His service,
Bruce and Beverley Tulloch Phone/Fax 55355329
