Orientation week & Welcoming Dinner at Macquarie Uni






We had a very successful Orientation week at Macquarie University on 5th August 2008


Altogether, 70 survey forms were filled out and many more were invited to our Welcoming Dinner


We had lots of fun meeting people and had fun as a group working together










Out of those 70 people who filled out surveys, over 50 new contacts came to our Welcoming Dinner. There were lots of fun and games and a short talk by CS at the end of the evening. The gospel talk was on "Running the Race" ...appropriate because it was the very same evening that the Olympic games opened in Beijing.








It would encourage us so much if you could partner us in this exciting ministry by supporting us in prayer, contributing to food, coming along to visit and to meet the students, providing transport for our excursions or just taking time out to find out how things are going at MICF














Our first MICF meeting in Semester 2





MICF recommenced last Friday on 15th August, with a series of talks and bible studies on the claims of Jesus.

Many new contacts made during Orientation week and our welcoming dinner, came back to join us and we are so grateful to God for His sovereign grace and goodness and giving us such wonderful opportunities to share the gospel of salvation.











A few of these contacts came to church last Sunday at Cornerstone@north. It is such a joy and delight to see these students who are hungry to learn, connect with us and responding to the community of believers.


Sharing pizzas!

Furthermore, a trip to Featherdale Wildlife Park was also organised for them last Saturday. A total of 25 students went to the excursion.





We are grateful to those who helped us with transport and took time out to befriend these students.


God has since brought us several helpers from Concord and we are so grateful for their partnership in the gospel of Jesus! Please continue to pray that God will empower us and equip us to do His good work.

Mother's group


I have the privilege of visiting Mother's group once a month and I always come away from the group thoroughly encouraged!
Mother's group is a fellowship of mothers who support one another in love, prayer, counsel and the sharing of scripture.
Presently, they are doing a study on "Becoming a Woman of Freedom".

There is usually a scrumptious morning tea, followed by lunch, graciously hosted by various mothers at various locations.

Please feel free to come and join us on Fridays at 10.00 am. I guarantee that you will be blessed as a result of fellowshipping with other ladies who share the same love for Jesus, who care for one another and who share in the joys and challenges of motherhood.













The mothers will love you to come and share in fellowship and learning with them! Come and check them out!

Saying Good bye to a friend from China

























It was a pleasure to have met Tracey, who returned to China after completing a short stint of studies at Macquarie University.
She came to Australia, not knowing, nor understanding the gospel. But, God had graciously led her to come to Cornerstone @ North through Seng Min and through bible studies and talks, now understands the gospel.

She has not made a personal commitment to Christ, but is willing to continue to learn. Please pray that she will find a church in China and join the fellowship of believers there, where she can continue learning about the person and work of Christ.
