The last few weeks, I have been struggling both spiritually and emotionally. Have been struggling with personal issues. please pray for wisdom and discernment

Dear Friends in Christ
I have been involved in prison ministry since 2002, I started as a volunteer prison Chaplain in Adelaide South Australia and in 2009, I go involved with a prison ministry called KAIROS. This prison ministry is a three and half day course held in a prison. I have been involved with KAIROS prison ministry since 2009. I have been involved with 16 KAIROS course. They are held twice a year at Mobilong Prison near the town of Murray Bridge South Australia. Last week I had the privilege to serve on KAIROS Mobilong 38, this course ran from Tuesday 16th June till Friday 19th June. On this short course 16 men heard the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. There were two men wo were Christian and because of this course began to follow Jesus again. On this KAIROS the men are offered a Bible and a leather Cross. All 16 men took the Bible and a leather Cross. KAIROS began in South Australia in 2002 and I know that since the very first KAIROS course till KAIROS course 38 around 880 men have heard the Gospel. I know of at least 30 men openly give their hearts to Jesus Christ and many seeds planted into men's lives. In the last 12 months at Mobilong prison 6 prisoners have been baptised. On the outside I know of 6 KAIROS graduates who got baptised at a local Church. I praise God for the privilege to serve KAIROS prison ministry. I have seen men's lives changed and set free.

Today Australians in Australia and New Zealand, France and Gallipoli remember ANZAC Day when Australian and New Zealand troops fought at Gallipoli in 1915. This was a day where we honour our fallen armed forces men and women who lost their lives.
I am reminded of Jesus own Words.
Jesus gave His life for us, Jesus sacrificed His life so we could have eternal life.

Saw this picture and it reminder me of Jesus being fully human and fully divine. John 1:1 The Word was God and the Word was with God.
John 1:14 The Word became flesh and dealt among us.

These Crosses were outside a Church during Holy Week. It was a reminder of what Jesus did on the Cross. This nail is a reminder of the painful death He went through. This picture of the soldiers, the crown of thorns reminds us of the gruesome death Jesus to face. On the Cross Jesus even in agony forgave the people.

Jesus is Risen
Jesus is Risen
Jesus is Risen
He is Risen indeed.
We serve a Risen Christ
The tomb is empty
Death could not hold Him down.
May the Risen Christ be your light and Hope.

Christ is Risen
Christ is Risen
Christ is Risen
Christ is Risen indeed.

Today we remember Jesus love for us on the Cross. Jesus willingly went to the Cross so we could have eternal life. As I reflect on this Good Friday. I am reminded of Paul words "It was while we were still sinners Christ died for us" The Cross is about God restoring the broken relationship that began in Genesis 3 where Adam and Eve disobeyed God and at the Cross our relationship is restored

The first Sermon preached by the first Chaplain Rev Richard Johnson, who was the on the First Fleet to land in Australia. The message was preached Sunday 3rd February 1788. The text was Psalm 116:12-13.

As 2025 comes to a close its time to reflect on the year gone past. To think about what God has done for you. Reflect on how God has been with you in the tough times and uplifted you. For me, my 2025 has been a time of highs and lows. The lows dealing with my wife Rosie MS and my oldest son Peter who on Christmas day 2022 came out as transgender woman. I can say that God has been my tower of strength. The highlights, my younger son Christopher who is youth pastor and a school chaplain, in South Australia they are called Pastoral support workers at a high school. For me Christopher at the request of some of his youth invited me to be youth leader. I have been able to share Jesus love to the youth.
As you go into 2026 may God bless you and honour you in all that you do. May God be with you in all that you do.

The Salvation Poem. This Salvation Poem is pointing on how to have a relationship with Jesus.

Jesus came to restore the broken relationship between God and the human race that began Genesis 3:15.
As Jesus said John 14:6 "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me"

This picture reminds us that the Christmas event of the birth of Jesus came into the world to restore the broken relationship between God and the human race. As John writes in John Gospel chapter one verse 14, the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.
Without the Christmas event there is no Easter event.
