Book stats 498  Path to Peace 59 The Great Controversy (including 12 small editions) 44  Health and Peace 28  Peace Above the Storm 4 Lessons of Love I didn't think Ally was going to get anything at first.

We talked about the Eastward farm and she wanted contact details to ask ...

Sukuma Wiki

7 years ago by Desley Bailey

When in Kenya in 2016, I found Sukuma Wiki (Kale) growing along the sides of the roads. In Swahili, 'sukuma' means push, and 'wiki' means week - when food is scarce (as it often is in a Kenyan village) kale 'pushes you through the week'.  In our garden other vegetables come and go with the seasons, but kale lives on, and on, and on. So what do you do with an abundance of kale in the garden? You eat kale, kale, and more kale! ...

Storms of Life 2

7 years ago by Rod Bailey

We had another experience this week that has helped us to put the struggles we have in context of the bigger picture of what is happening around us. This spring has been terrible for our tomato's. We were late getting them started, and then we didn't have all the beds ready when they were ready to go out. But finally over 600 plants were tucked in by Hannah and Ella, and given every chance of a nice productive life. And they grew. But then they started dying. One by one.&...

New Venue for Music Camp 2018

7 years ago by Emmanuel Higgins

Many of you will be excited to hear that Music Camp 2018 is being held in a new venue. After much searching, thought and prayer, we have decided to hold Music Camp in the Adventist Crosslands Convention Centre, about 1hr north of Sydney. This venue creates more opportunity for growth and outreach. It opens new possibilities for filming locations, and is more central for those flying to camp (we can do pickups direct from Sydney Airport). You can find out more about Crosslands on their w...

Storms of Life

7 years ago by Rod Bailey

We, like many others in our area, had a hailstorm on Saturday afternoon. Strong winds, pelting small hail, then a torrential downpour of rain that cause mini flash flooding and left everything sodden afterwards. I love a good storm as much as anyone, the louder and heavier the better - and heavy rain on a corrugated iron roof has to be some of the alltime best music ever made. But on this occassion I wasn't enjoying it too much, as visciously spectacular as it may have been. Bec...

Colour

7 years ago by Rod Bailey

Sometimes you see something that makes you take a second look. Yesterday it was these beautiful clouds that swept across our northern horizon, with an occassional electrical explosion punctuating their inkiness. Magnificent! And the contrast of the sun on the kale, broccoli and silverbeet - ahh, beautiful! Have you ever been consciously thankful for the cone photoreceptors in your eyes that allow you to see colour? A normal eye has around 6 million of these champions, mostly located...

Canvassing Road Trip: Northam to Port Lincoln

7 years ago by Jylan Wynne

Albany to Northam, WA The Tarago and trailer were fully loaded when we drove out of Albany, WA - the location for D'Sozo Camp WA 2017. Camp had run from October 1-8. Blessings from throughout the time were easy to list! God kept rainy weather and sickness at bay, and convicted many youth to seek a more meaningful, active experience with Him. We drove 5 hours or 450 km to Northam (east of Perth) after camp finished on the 8th. Living in Northam were a family who'd attended D'Soz...
