This update is from GCI Australia pastor Bob Regazolli.
There was much excitement here at the GCI church in Brisbane, Australia. State of the Heart music minister Ross Jutsum led our Christmas service (Ross and his wife Tammy were in Australia to visit Ross’s family).
Ross provided a mixture of Christmas carols, a few songs of his own compositions, selected readings, a children’s section and a song in Swahili from members of our Congolese congregation. Ross’s daughter Lisa then spoke with us about her experiences as a missionary in the Congo. She also sang a song for us.
We had the highest attendance for a service here in about a decade – 154 people. I have never heard such positive comments from so many following one of our worship services. It was truly inspiring and wonderful to see so many joining in praises for our Savior and King.
