The earthly sanctuary services were appointed of God to help man know and understand exactly what God was willing to do for him. Every animal slain by the hand of the sinner was to be a miniature Calvary. It was to reveal to man the deep-seated enmity he held against God, but in the same instant to prove to him that God held nothing back, not even His Son, if by any means He could bring man to see his rebellion. It was in this way that God prepared the catalyst to break the proud and stubborn heart of man. Nothing less than “blood” could wash away such an awful sin as his, i.e., the will to kill God.

Ill Equipped

I have just been temporarily transferred over to Longreach for work and am locked into a six week contract. This is the first time I've ever gone away from family and friends to a place where I don't actually know anybody. I'm overwhelmed by a sense of loneliness and I just feel totally lost. 

Though, I believe that God has brought me here for a reason. Longreach is a small town west of Brisbane. Far out west. They have a number of Churches here but, to my disappointment, there don't seem to be any Adventists around. So.. Feeling a bit lost and out of place.. I would still like to witness in some way but feel so ill equipped.. And INCREDIBLY lonely.

Growing up in a family of 8, I'm really not used to being alone. I thought this trip would be a great experience being away from family and friends and finding my own footing.. Ive only been here since this morning and I must say, I'm feeling quite homesick. 

Please pray for me. I have experienced, in the past week or so, a desire for Christ's return that I have never felt before. I just want to go home. This world holds nothing for me. 

The message must be preached and I desire to carry it... I really do just feel that I am very ill equipped for this mission. Your advise and prayer would be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks,

: )
