One of the highlights of life in the ministry is lifelong friendship that you get to make - like Jason & Kim. I first met Jason 5 years ago at a conference in Vanderbiljt Park in South Africa. We were both speaking at it, and continued to do so over the next three years. Jason was the youth Pastor and Edge church in Adelaide, and was the person who asked Jaedon if he was a legend (See an earlier blog about spaceships and legends.)
Several years ago I jokingly said to Jason that it was nice that he was living in Australia, but that if he lived in England, he could truly change the world! It was a vain attempt on my part to coax him over to the promise land.
Two years, I was in Sydney airport, and Jason phoned me. His first words were ... "Guess what?" So i did. I said "...you are moving to England..." I was half joking, but he said that he was and that he was looking forward to moving to Bristol to the new church plant from Edge church.
Jason and Kim are now the Pastors of Edge Church Bristol - here to change a nation.
Salvation is free, but discipleship costs everything. In Luke 14:25-35 Jesus tells us that we need to be prepared to give up, family, friends, culture and comfort in order to be a true disciple of his. Good on ya Jase, Kim and the kids...you are modern day heroes! Believing in a fantastic future for you in Bristol and beyond
