Latest Update from SBLC Call Committee.
This week Nich let us know he has received a third call – this time from Lifeway in Sydney. Thus he now has 3 simultaneous calls - Ours, St Paul’s congregation at Caboolture in Queensland, and Lifeway in Sydney.
Nich is going on annual leave in the last two weeks of January. He has decided he will make a decision on the calls in early January so his family can have their holiday time without having to think about calls.
We ask that you pray for Pastor Nich and his family as they consider the three calls they have received.

We are so excited to be only two months out from the 2025 Live to Love Conference with Heidi Baker, Leif Hetland, Katherine Ruonala, Will Hart, Mark Varughese, David Hall and Ally Dowling. Once again, we will unite at the Adelaide Convention Centre, this time in a much bigger room and market hall to accommodate up to 3000 people.
We invite you to join us on the weekend of the 23 - 25 January at Adelaide Convention Centre for the Live to Love Conference.
In times of immense pressure and change in our social landscape, unity, and understanding are increasingly paramount. We honour and value your service to communities, and want to see you experience both refreshing from Heaven and encouragement through fellowship.
We have attached our flyer with the event link, QR code and other information for you and your Church family. We would love to see you all there and to share this great news.
https://www.livetolove.com.au/events
Please feel free to forward this email and attachment to other Churches, kingdom entrepreneurs, businesses or organisations who may also be interested in this Conference.
We believe one touch from the Father changes everything, so we want to bring people of all streams of Christian faith together to unite under the banner of His love, to pray for our Adelaide, South Australia, and our nation, petitioning Heaven for a move of God to transform hearts, families, and the world.
LIVE TO LOVE BUSINESS & FAMILY
We believe that no matter what sphere of influence in society God has placed us, we are all positioned to bring the love of God to the world.
Have a blessed new year, and we hope to see you in January at Live to Love!
Blessings,
The Live to Love Team
