Cheers 2024-11 End-times & Beyond

15/11/2024

 
I'm well overdue for an update on Cheers Neighbours’ Network.

Plans about whose auspices Cheers come under have changed since last time (long story), but there is light on the horizon maybe with Worldview Aus who I now work for. WVA is still finding its organisational feet, and there's no urgency, but it's good to have insurance, childsafe training etc. And the connection between Cheers & Worldview Australia is strong as ever.
  • WVA camps involve most Cheers people at some level. And most of the Directors and many of the Young Adult Leaders for the Youth Leadership Camp come from Cheers circles.
  • WVA's new WVA Family Camp replaces the Cheers Family Camps we ran annually since 2003.
  • WVA's new Pre-View camp for years 6-8 will use our Core Stuff with which Cheers crew are quite familiar, and is directed by Darren & Kathryn, who have also hosted Cheers Sunday meetings.
Aside from WVA, since April 2023, Cheers has:
  • Continued to meet at the Westlakes' around the Bible, & prayer, & praise through trial discovering His joy in it. Helped each other through some quite difficult family & personal struggles (growing through, rather than avoiding them).
  • Kept involved with various community groups, including the BG residents association, schools & workplaces.
  • Protected each other’s places when the big bushfire came close.
  • Been learning: community living & outreach from the book of Acts, truth from Genesis 1-12, wisdom from Ecclesiastes & Proverbs, the Baton of basic teaching Paul passed to Timothy in Colossians & Ephesians, and recently passages about the End Times, and now continuing on through Matthew from chapter 26.
  • Attended the Never Again Is Now rally in Perth. This was really special, besides the important issues about antisemitism. Cheers has for years celebrated the Messianic significance of Passover and other Biblical Feasts. Plus I (Geoff) visited Israel in May ’24 observing sites from Oct 7, studying end times with various Bible scholars, and gained a sense of Christ’s desire for his Bride. At various moments in the rally I was overcome to be part of two and a half thousand voices, Gentiles joining with Jews, a foretaste of heaven’s all-nations fuller Bride, praising our LORD together. I pray something of our witness that day made them aware of the living presence of their true Messiah.

So Cheers goes on, praising the LORD.
