Aubergine

7 years ago by Rod Bailey

Solanum melongena (or what we, the Kiwi's and the Yanks call eggplant) is an interesting species of nightshade, thus related to the tomato and the potato.

Even when fully ripe, the tomato can have gr...

"Fruit for Your Labour" - Perth Contact Baptised

7 years ago by Melissa Wynne

About three weeks ago some of our team received an encouraging message along with the above photos: "Blessed sabbath brothers. Fruit for your labour, your contact at the door finally committed. Thank you, Pastor John." Last year as we were knocking on doors in Perth we had no clue what the results would be, or even if there would be any that we would be able to see at all. Sharing books door to door through evangelistic canvassing is often a “seed-sowing” work. ...
