Notes of a six day trip to the West Coast and North-West Tasmania
| Breakfast at Smithton with Tim Hawkins re Youth Ministry strategy and development in Tasmania and the need for appropriate training.
We need leadership with a passion not only to make disciples of Jesus Christ, but to be making disciples of Jesus Christ who in their turn are making disciples of Jesus Christ. This leadership passion and focus is essential to gain the multiplication of disciples. I reflected on the blessing my wife and I received in coming to Christ through ‘The Navigators’, an organization with this ‘being makers of disciple makers’ emphasis in their DNA. Sunlight drive to Burnie along the scenic Bass Highway. ‘The Nut’ rising above the village of Stanley is striking in its grandeur. Radio ‘Coast FM’ reminds us that in 1979 ‘Up there Cazaly’ was written and sung. |

| 11.30 | Arrived Burnie. Warwick’s hospitality including homemade vegetable and chicken soup for lunch and a fantastic view of the Burnie harbour. |
| Afternoon | Check my emails as there was no coverage in my unit last night at Tall Timbers. How did I last without email contact for over 24 hours?
Preparation for tonight’s ‘Walking in Holiness’ seminar at Cooee. ABC radio seeking interview. Media officer Stephen arranging times and place, etc. |
| 4.40 | Leave to set up the ‘Walking in Holiness’ seminar at Cooee. |
| 5.30 | About 44 of us. Good participation. Warm and generous hospitality. Brian rescues us by successfully connecting the parish projector to the power point slides on my laptop computer. Why is every machine distinct? |
| Late night meeting in front of a log fire with Rector and Chair of Parish Council. Now, what did I agree to? And so to prayer. |
