Update from Australia

It's been a while since my last post... apologies to all our faithful readers, hopefully now we'll become more regular again (sounds like and advert for brooklax :)

Recently, Rodney and Audrey were in Aus visiting family and had a chance to catch up with Clay at Hillsong. They also took some pics for us. Thanks guys, it's good to know there are people like you who care.
Clay... the opera singer

I had an opportunity to chat to Clay the other day over the phone, it's always great to hear his voice, I usually leave the phone conversation with a few tears in my eyes and a huge lump in my throat. To say Clay has changed would not do him justice, Clay has undergone a radical baptism of fire, now that's better...
He's gone through a Spirit led metamorphisis and just from talking to him I can hear how God has changed him into something beautiful for His glory.

As a brother I am naturally proud of him, he's accomplished more this year than I could've hoped to. I look forward to learning from him on his return. Even though I'm Clay's older boet, I look up to him in many ways, he's lead an un-compromising life in Aus while away from his immediate support base and has learnt to rely on God.
Our conversations are all too short and I long to see him again but I've had to come to the realisation that Clay has dedicated his life to God's service and he will go where the Father sends him.

Clay... the ship's lookout

Clay, as this year draws to a close, I believe with all my heart that it is the beginning of something far greater in Christ than we could ever hope or imagine. My love for you as a brother is never-ending but it can fail and be selfish, that's why I thank God everyday for my family and the love of His Son Jesus Christ that is so evident in our lives, that's a love that will never fail us, that's a love that brings us to our knees in adoration and awe of an amazing all powerful God.

God Bless bro...

Love Don

Clay... my brother
