Solomons Trip Report cont’d - 2014

Mon – the Diggerland team took the boat from Honiara to Auki, Malaita. The
seas were very rough & most of the team were sea sick. During the trip, Ps.
Rebekah Milne stood up and preached to the whole of the upstairs section, they
call it ‘first class’. Ps. Bek & Ps. Andre shared their testimonies, Ps. Bek then led
all the people in prayer. Ps. Andre got out his guitar & a wonderful time of
worship ensued. We arrived in Auki at about midnight & finally got to bed at
about 3am
Tue - after a bit of a sleep in (8am), the team caught the truck to a village called
Faugwari. They were welcomed with a traditional greeting ,which momentarily
alarmed the team. They were led into the church where the locals honoured
them with songs & gifts. It was beautiful & the team were all emotionally moved
Ps. Andre preached that night. There was a powerful sense of God’s presence,
several people received healing, including a lady who was blind in one eye
receiving her sight, as the whole team ministered. By the end of the night
everyone was dancing & rejoicing in the Lord. We eventually closed the meeting.

Loading the boat for Malaita Wed – Led by Ps. Ruth, the team ran a children’s
program in the morning, many were filled with
the Holy Spirit with tongues following and even
began to minister to one another, and to the
team. It was awesome to watch.
That night, Ps. Bek spoke a powerful message on
‘joy’ to a full church. Again, there was an
incredible sense of God’s presence with a
demonstration of His power as people were
delivered, set free, healed and touched by God.
What a night!!

Thu- The girls in the team shared at a women’s
gathering in the morning. A powerful testimony
by Amber, (one of our team), resonated with
many of the women and the following ministry
saw many women set free from guilt & shame.
There are too many testimonies to write about
here, but it was a significant time in God.

On Thursday night, the team walked a couple of
kilometres to the village of Daudau. There was
standing room only in the church. Ps. Andre
preached a powerful & anointed message on
‘forgiveness’. Many responded to the altar call,
& many were set free from bondages associated
with un-forgiveness. There were tears of
repentance & joy as people all over the meeting
were ministered to by the Holy Spirit.

Solomons Trip Report - 2014

The church at Daudau Fri. – Ps. Andre shared with the men of the
village in the morning, preaching from
Nehemiah, he challenged them in their roles as
fathers, husbands & men. It was an anointed
time that followed with the team ministering as
all the men responded and God began to break
up the hard ground with His grace & mercy.
Some men were filled with the Holy Spirit &
spoke in tongues for the first time.
In the evening, Ps. Ruth preached, & Jack &
Hannah shared inspirationally to a packed house
of youth. The young people responded and a
powerful time of ministry lasted well into the
evening with many deciding to follow Jesus &
being filled with the Holy Spirt

Sat – Was a day off, although Ps. Andre & Ps. Bek
were asked to visit a girl in her home, who had
been possessed by a demon for many years.
Although being prayed for in the past , she
remained in bondage. Actually, Andre & Bek
thought they were going to pray for healing for
someone, however, as they walked onto the
property, God gave Ps. Andre a word which he
shared with Ps. Bek, & both went in prepared for
what lay ahead. After some time of ministry, the
young lady was delivered and went through the
waters of baptism the next day.
There was an evening feast & celebration to
mark the official end of our visit & say goodbye
to the team, which lasted well into the night. It
was very special.

fourteen years has had a

Julianne and I flew to Rabaul to
encourage and minister to the
women in CRC churches on the

We were the first Australian
women from the CRC to minister
across the CRC churches of East

speaking powerfully of a new era
to be launched to the women. We

had a lot of “first time”
experiences during this ministry –
not least of these being Julianne

and my first missions trip!
The second week we ministered at

Merbein Christian Fellowship By Pastors David & Andree Lim

You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put
it under a bowl. Instead they put it on a stand , and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same

way , let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in
heaven. Mat t 5 14-16

This scripture has been speaking to us a church as we enter our 5th year of planting. The church has
now been seen within the community as one that is here for the long haul .

As this report is typed , settlement of the building for Merbein Christian Fellowship is taking place
which means that the church now owns property in the township of Merbein. This not only speaks
wonders for the township in the physical but more importantly in the spiritual ,we have staked our

ground in Merbein .
We love to worship. We love to pray. We love to fellowship and minister. Our services are amazing. We
love the presence of God which is so evident in the meetings. We stand in awe of His mighty work in us
and the community. We know that His word will not return void. His promises are Yes and Amen and

we know that good things are in store for us as a fellowship.
We already see healings, deliverances, salvations, baptism in the Holy Spirit, Water baptisms and we
see people responding more and more to the gospel as we continue to sow and sow and sow in love.

Men’s meetings have just started to begin with a total of 5 men. We have all heard the small
beginnings story and that is what we believe is happening here. The meetings also take place at the

office . There has been one outing where we went bowling and everyone had a great time.
Our ministry to the community continues in various forms including regular services and visitation at

Chaffey Aged care. This is such a precious time not only for the residents but also for us as we hear
their life stories. There are many opportunities to befriend, pray and minister.

Ps Andree continues with CRE into Merbein P10 college along with Marilyn Lowick and although class
sizes have dwindled , the students attending have all enjoyed the life lessons been taught.

The church continues to be involved in the local Merbein Carols with the other churches in Merbein.
This event continues to grow as we present the gospel to our community. This event has grown from

humble beginnings of around 80 people 4 years ago to more than 700 last year with this year
predicted to increase.

Merbein Christian Fellowship By Pastors David & Andree Lim

This year also marked the inaugural women’s camp of Merbein Christian
Fellowship. What an amazing milestone. The camp titled “DEEP” was full of fun,
fellowship, worship, word, ministry and rest.
We all travelled to Bushman’s Rest caravan Park and stayed in 2 great houses for 2
nights. Beautiful weather, Great setting, Wonderful company, Extraordinary work
of God. We can’t wait for next year. God is doing an incredible work in the women
of the fellowship. Watch them grow. Watch them sow. Watch them as they realise
their full potential. Wow! We are so blessed by each one of them. Valued,
cherished and Loved.
The Merbein community has seen and heard the women’s meetings that are a
regular occurrence every second Wednesday in the church office. We have had
women coming at times who don’t yet know, or have just come to faith in Jesus
and experiencing and loving the environment of love and peace and friendship
they are discovering amongst us.

Merbein Christian Fellowship By Pastors David & Andree Lim

Our weekly meetings are awesome. No-one wants to go home. We love being in the
environment of the Holy Spirit and with each other. We are so thankful for His love
endures for ever, and his love overflows from His precious women.
Some notable highlights of the year were:
Marily Lowicks 60th birthday which was celebrated at the Pomegranate Café in
Merbein. It was a great night where we could really honour Marilyn and love on her for
the blessing she is to us. It was an excellent night, heaps of fun and laughter with a
great group of people.
Ugo Matthew and Grace Pangs wedding. What a great day. What a celebration where
the union of Ugo and Grace was so beautifully executed by Pastor Bruce in the lovely
surroundings of Sovereign Gardens and in the presence of their family and friends. We
can’t wait to see what God has in store for this precious and much loved couple in the
fellowship. Wow! They win as far as having people travelling the most way to be at a
wedding!!! (Nigeria, Malaysia, Singapore and England).

As we approach the end of 2014 we are so excited as to where God is leading us as
a fellowship. We know that we have been called to be the light in our community
and reflect the glory of our risen Lord . We give thanks to the Lord for the people He
has called into fellowship with us with their giftings and abilities and look forward to
2015 and what the Lord has in store for Merbein Christian Fellowship.

Diggerland Easter Event Report by Bruce

This year was awesome. Continuing with our goal
to make Easter very attractive to visitors, we put
on a mini production covering the period mainly
from the resurrection to the ascension.
A lot of work was done to harmonise the Gospel
accounts and organise all the dialogue. This was
then all pre-recorded so that the many parts
would not be complicated by microphone and
memory issues. Amazingly, virtually no creative
license was needed to make it work. It was all
straight scripture punctuated by the normal
elements of a Sunday morning service.
The new data projector was used to effect with
the a large amount of artistic work going into the
development of the backgrounds. This enabled
minimal set requirements in the confined area.
We strove to involve a range of age groups and
experience to fit our ‘Generations’ Theme for
this year.
We were able to weave communion, offering and
message in, to make the whole day impactful.
Philip Webster, who is one of our elders, took the
part the narrators voice in the Scripture. Ruth
Whitton as a disciple took the communion
segment and I delivered the message and took
up the offering as part of that.
Our main characters were Ali Foreman as our
very own Jesus, Nat Wilksch as Mary Magdalene,
and many others from Kids Church and Youth.
Many thanks to the sound and lighting guys who
also prepared everything in advance so well.

we aim to offer the Father our very best.
1 Chronicles 21:24 but King David replied to Araunah, “No, I insist on paying the full price. I will

not take for the Lord what is yours, or sacrifice a burnt offering that costs me nothing.”
We recently had a coffee and vision night where everyone agreed that their best this year will be

surpassed by their best this time next year.
It’s so awesome to hear this type of commitment, honouring God to be the best we can be.
Our training is aimed to increase vocal and music skill, also knowledge and understanding of the

Word, in preparation for undergirding any prophetic download.
The more we grow, the more we can serve.

Throughout the year, the training has been a lot of fun, a little bit taxing physically (gotta practice
that breathing technique and singing with the heart rate UP!), the occasional brain strain and
plenty of laughter.
Upon request we welcomed vocal teams from Robinvale and Onevine churches to the training
nights. They have expressed their desire to be included in future training sessions
which is really exciting.

Diggerland PMF Activities Report by Bruce

Diggerland plays a major role in assisting the Sunraysia region with connection
and eventing each and every year through PMF Sunraysia Inc of which I have
been chair for most of its long history. In recent times Roland has been Secretary
and Rebekah has been involved in Pray Sunraysia and Love Our City (see below).
PMF also covers the regional ministries of Pray Sunraysia, Women’s Refresh
Conference “Embrace” with Nick & Meredith Resce, and SYA youth which runs
the annual Encounter Rallies.
Our PMF Sunraysia ministers also participate in fellowship days with the central
Mildura Ministers’ Fellowship on a regular basis for a meal; taking it in turns to
host that day.
In addition to these, in the last year we also:
• Hosted evangelist John Mellor for the second year in a row
• Organised a regional Men’s morning with Nick Resce
• Organised the Heaven is For Real Community event at the Cinema doubling

as a fundraiser for Love Our City.
Love Our City is a concept that has required a significant amount of preparing
and networking of the churches regionally. It will be officially launched in the
new year, and will focus on changing the atmosphere in our city through acts of
random kindness.

Diggerland Moneytree Nurseries Report
by Bruce

This year saw the successful production and sale of a
significant bulk vine order. Some other sales have
also been pleasing. Some cuttings were planted.
The time has been marked by the progressing of our
exit plan as the main church account has been able
to take the next step and assume full responsibility
for all the church’s property loans.
In preparation for wind up, the stock was transferred
to the church in lieu of working capital. It is
envisaged that in the next period other asset
transfers will be complete and the nursery will be
operated as a department of the investment account
as it continues to scale back.
Our chief concern is that we are still carrying a lot of
citrus against internal liabilities that needs to be sold
or else our investment account will suffer the
commensurate loss (there is a notional plan in this
eventuality). We can plant new stock to cover these
losses rather than the smaller amount we do for
operational costs, or just wear it; but it makes more
sense to use our connections to sell it. So we are
calling on everyone who knows somebody who may
require citrus to direct them to us; Please!
Our field grown citrus have the advantage of not
requiring staking, and otherwise very attractive
pricing. We also have significant potted citrus.
The other risk management strategy is to head up a
lot of our stock and or rework some. We can value
add some of it by regrafting to mandarin which is
sort after.

Diggerland Worship Report 2015 by Ps. André
Whitton

As a church community, we are blessed to have the depth and breadth of maturity,
spiritual fervour and passion in our gifted and dedicated worship leaders. 2015 has
been another good year of seeing God move in our congregation as our worship
leaders have led prophetically each Sunday helping each person connect with the
heart of God to gain a better perspective of His will, power and just plain
awesomeness. Our worship leaders pray and intercede so that the songs which are
chosen are not just songs, but a reflection of where we are at, what God is saying and
where we are heading as a church. These are great times of faith been built, healing
being released and burdens lifted as we are encourage to look heavenward and release
our praise and worship to the one who desires to inhabit the praises of His people. It
is also powerful in creating a platform, expectation and faith in preparation for the
word to be ministered. As you can see, it’s a lot more than just grabbing a microphone
and singing. Being a worship leader carries with it a huge responsibility, and I’m glad
to say that our worship leaders prove they’re up for it time and again. It’s been great
to see new home grown songs been written and released to the congregation, the
quality of these songs just keep getting better and better. Thank you to all of our
Worship Leaders, your commitment and sacrifice are appreciated.

Our worship leaders for 2015 were:
HannahT, AnnC, Jared, Natalie, Andre, BekT, Tom, Steve, Jo, Zak, Jane, RuthT, Ali, KylieF.

Diggerland Bands Report 2015
– by Andrew Graham

My thanks and indeed OUR thanks to Andrew Lucchesi, who has
lead band 2 wonderfully for several years, and has now officially
retired from band this year. It is sad to see you go Andrew. You
brought a wealth of flavour to the mix.
My thanks to Alexander who took over from Andrew to lead band
2, and thanks to Matt for leading band 3 beautifully.
Band 1, you’re one of the best! Another solid year of service. I
know that I enjoy every minute of worshipping alongside you all.
My thanks to all who filled in the gaps.
Great friendships, and it will always be a great privilege to serve the
body of Christ through our gifting. – Andrew Graham

Band = friendship + worship + body building. A great way to stay
in shape! – Donna W (photo: Donna, Mark, Andrew & James)

Band2 Report 2015 - by Andrew

Graham

It’s been a wonderful year being part of the worship team, and
in particular feeling a growing sense of belonging with you all in
band 2. It’s really helped me become a little more integrated
with the church as a whole, as it is quite an honour helping
God’s family into His presence for worship.

As I reflect on what we’ve done together as a band, my
thoughts move to how amazing God is. We worship Him
because He is our righteousness. He is our defender and our
strength. He is our provider, He is our life. In fact, I think that
the music we weave together as a creative unit is often
misunderstood; like it’s only a means to an end. I think what we
do is more. The talent in our bodies and even the breath in our
lungs is a gift given to us! And so, our music, and our creativity,
and our talent as expressed on each of our instruments stands
to declare His amazing beauty and lovingkindness.

Like all of nature around
us that shouts His
majesty, so the music we
create in itself is a
celebration of love and
power and life. Our music
not only assist people to
praise Him, it is praise
itself. – Andy Burley (1st
year guitar)

Band3 Report 2015 by Matthew
Mandica

Band 3 in 2015 has brought about many challenges in terms of
having a different team most weeks with Daniel Williams coming
into Band 3 this year, then Dale Vaughan stepping in for a quarter ,
Charles Hutcheon learning Bass in the 2nd half of the year with
Andrew Graham filling in the first half, and also having multiple
drummers when Jared Arnol couldn't make it. All in all, I personally
believe that our worship has lifted from the start of this year and
also our musicianship. I am privileged to have led Band 3 this year.
Every Sunday throws up a different dynamic and I am so excited for
what God has planned for bands and our worship over the coming
years. – Matthew Mandica (band 3 leader)

Playing in band 3 for the last part of this year has been an absolute
blessing to me! To be able to play with such an awesome bunch of
musicians has been incredible, and to me, leading in worship is all
about being able to witness the community that I call family in such
a special place as they worship God, and being able to contribute
into that community! – Charles Hutcheon (1st year bass guitar)

Diggerland Go Team Report 2015 –Libbie
McBain

The vision for Go Team is to reach as many unchurched children
within our region presenting a program that is Christian based,
FUN, SAFE, engaging, interactive, imaginative and informative.
Our aim is to sow the WORD of GOD in a way that is simplistic and
tangible so as it can be understood by all the children that attend
regardless of their age - 5 or 12.
In the July School Holidays we presented The Space Theme which
incorporated many science experiments and cross references to
Jesus in the various object lessons. We explored Space and
Science in a positive way which was both interactive and FUN

while showcasing GOD’s hand in creating the
universe and world around us. The kidz loved
hearing about the International space Station,
defying gravity with their egg creations, making
space ships & the absolute favourite participating
in messy games.
With every Go Team we are always striving for
program of excellence that is both memorable

& enjoyable as we sow the
Word Of GOD but most
importantly that it awakens
a desire and thirst in each
and every child who attends
to seek the heart of Jesus in
their life.

GoTeam X Factor – Sept 2015

In September Go Team went into X Factor mode. This was
enormous fun for everyone - Kids, Youth and Adults!! It was
amazing watching the kids explore their passions, gifts and
talents and having the courage to perform their various pieces
in front of a live audience. The boys were incredible performing
their X Factor routine impressing our awesome judges. A
highlight was the Nursery Rhyme sing-off – which came down
to the wire with the boys only being defeated because Happy
Birthday wasn’t on the song list .. perhaps sing Baa Baa Black
sheep for the encore next time!! Oldie but a goodie !!
This year saw a new generation of Go Teamers emerge. As Go
Team gains momentum within the community it was so
wonderful and encouraging to see the young children and

families new to the program stepping through the
doors and being so impacted by what they saw and
witnessed in our incredible Youth as they interacted
and built relationship with the children. Parents
acknowledged how refreshing it was to see Youth
being great role models and positive influences to
the younger children. It’s such an awesome
testimony to ALL our amazing Youth & Young Adults.
And finally so much happens behind the scenes to
ensure GoTeam runs smoothly and I truly give a
HEARTFELT Thanks to each and every Volunteer
who willingly gives their time and energy to serve
in the many areas so crucial to success of the
program, Admin, Data, Hospitality, Sound, Band, Set-

Mildura Prayer Group report by Pastor
Debbie

Victor and I were inspired by God to
open a second dedicated prayer cell
that would be accessible to people in
Mildura . Since then a flow of people
have joined us weekly in petitioning

for the needs of the church,
community and nation as a whole.

Prayer to us is everything .The bible
reminds us in Philippians 4:6 ..Be
careful for nothing: but in everything
by prayer and supplication with
thanksgiving let your requests be

made known to God…

Through prayers we are able to hear
the heart of God concerning every
situation around us and it is this that
gives us peace through the storms of

life.

Our life as a family is a testament that
God does hear and He does answer

our prayers .All that is required of us is
to P-U-S-H ( Pray Until Something
Happens )

Feel free to join us every Tuesday
morning 6.30am -7.30am at 154

Thirteenth street, Mildura.

Prayer is exhaling the spirit of man

and inhaling the Spirit of God…

Diggerland Pool Program Jan 2015

The Pool Program continues to be a
very much anticipated & valued
event on our Kidz Church Calendar.
Over the Christmas break its great
for the children to unwind and beat
the heat at the Red Cliffs Pool. It’s
such enormous FUN for our kidz as
they really ENJOY this change of
pace and the opportunity to engage
and play with each other and adults
in a different environment. We
really appreciate greatly the support
of our Parents, Youth and Adults in
our church community who willingly
volunteer their time to help
facilitate this very special program
by participating in Pool Roster.

Sarah & I revamped Kidz Church before we opened in February 2015.
Sarah T introduced a new prayer wall which has been a beautiful addition to kidz church.
This was such a GOD moment as Donna(M)Williams also contacted me during this
process with a vision she had received from GOD for Kidz Church to have a prayer wall
unaware that Sarah had also received this from GOD. AMEN…
This beautiful prayer wall has been wonderful visual reminder through the year for us to
write down our prayers regardless of how little or how big the request may seem and to
remember to always put our prayers before Jesus. Then as GOD has answered each
prayer its been removed from the wall.

Kidz Church Loving Our City in 2015

Wow, what a year it’s been filled with
complete JOY and BLESSING in Kidz
Church! It was such a privilege this
year to see the children blessing our
City! Our kids are so passionate about
sharing their daddy GOD to the world
and we saw that over and again this
year, especially when the children
were given opportunity to go out and
share JESUS love to others. For me
there is no greater joy than to see our
children walking in the Truth and
growing into beautiful loving children
who adore our GOD! I can’t wait for
all that lies ahead of us…Heart wide
open ready and waiting on the lord.

Easter Service 2015

This Easter Kidz Church kidz and our KC
Team Members participated in our
Annual Easter Service providing
wonderful support to Ps Bruce’s Vision
for the Easter Service. Thank you to ALL
our wonderful Parents for allowing your
kidz to a part of these special events.
Testimony –
Cassie Fielding had been up a couple of
times randomly prior to Easter and had
asked if she could be a part of the Easter
play – Of which I replied “Yes we would
love that”. So I prepared a costume but
then I didn’t see her in KC again.
On Easter morning Cassie ran into
Diggerland 30 minutes before we were
supposed to start and said to me – She
had forgotten the Easter play was on BUT
she had FELT strongly on waking up to
get up early and go for a ride around Red
Cliffs on her bike. As she neared Church
she remembered the play & raced in
hoping she could still be a part of the
play. HOW Awesome is GOD.. Cassie
was so radiant in her costume. AMEN

Refresh and Triggerpoint Conferences
2015

The Refresh Women’s Conference and Triggerpoint
Conference were both held at Diggerland this year and
the Kidz Church Team was given the wonderful
opportunity to facilitate child care for the event. We
catered for babes – through to primary school aged kidz
over both conferences. Although challenging, we
presented a fun, action packed program offering
various age appropriate activities. We acknowledged
the various age groups babes /toddlers /school age and
tailored the program accordingly to accommodate their
differing needs. Huge thanks to Majella, Sarah T, Bek T,
Naomi and Amy Williams who did an amazing job over
both events and truly blessed these precious kidz and
their families with their enthusiasm, love, endless
energy and commitment to serve !!

Testimonial - Kids Church had the opportunity to experience some really
special Worship and Praise moments this year. We had the chance to
bring up a guitar for a few weeks and have live Worship for the children.
Children engaged in this time and some commented “I was in god’s
arms”. That is what we seek for the children to experience while in kids

Kidz Church Prophetic Art 2015

Christmas Eve Artwork

Over the recent weeks kidz church has been a hive of activity
with various Christmas projects. We discussed the Vision for
Christmas Eve Service with the children and Donna(M)
Williams explained the concept of Prophetic Art , hearing from
GOD and putting that word /idea or picture that they felt was
put on their heart down on paper. We then worshiped
together with everyone feeling the presence of GOD in the
room. Donna(M) asked them to draw what they felt, to keep it
simple and thoughts flowing. ALL the children had a Word or
Picture and the drawings where amazing. When Donna
collected the pictures 5 distinct themes emerged, The
rainbow, Moses parting the Red Sea, The Nativity Scene,
Loving The World and 1 solo picture of the Building on the
Hill. Donna got the children to then move into those themed
groups and work together to produce the final pieces of art
using their pictures as the foundation template .It was very
powerful and impacting to see our kidz outwork their
amazing designs. The results are truly stunning..AMEN!
