The big picture

March 29,  2009  - Ian

Our All Saints history month of March is at an end and so the quiz now finishes with the last main section of history; the time from the end of the second world war until now.

As I have look over the whole 190 year period what has struck me as important to note is that the church has been a great influence amongst the local population – be they ‘Indonesians’ or ‘Expatriates’, but also at times the church has been very small and seemingly insignificant.

Yet what has never changed, nor ever will, is the work that God does in this land. He wants people to know Christ and so God will always leave representatives of his people here to be a witness for him.

How effective we work with God is very much in our hands and His in this partnership we call church.
