You could run your whole church off Google apps, I reckon. Docs, Calendar, Groups, Gmail. It’s all very tidy. There’s just that security issue, you know?
Google Calendar is cool, though. I’ve just set up a draft calendar for our church, Gereja Kristen Pelita. Church members can view the calendar online, on the GKP site when [...]
Still writing, but done soon. Really enjoying it.
I’ll report on the sermons at a later stage.

Our new church is a new church! We started at FOCUS (Fellowship of Overseas Christian University Students) on the first Sunday of this year and a few weeks ago FOCUS started their first Indonesian congregation: Gereja Kristen Pelita - Pelita (Lamp) Christian Church. The three of us are serving there this year and next, God [...]
There are some great preaching resources out there, some of which I’ll be making use of to get my preaching to some acceptable standard, but one that stands out (even amongst printed guides to preaching) is Biblical Preaching. You could mount a pretty strong case that a Bible and this website are enough to make [...]

Sally and I are excited to announce that we’ll be heading to FOCUS in 2008. FOCUS is the Fellowship of Overseas Christian University Students, and is a return to our roots in a way. It’s part of The University Churches, which include Unichurch, the church we were at when Sally became a Christian in 1997 [...]
