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.
