Trucks on the Highway. The life of a long distance truck driver is never easy. It demands endless hours of monotony and responsible decision making. It can be a lonely vocation with at times high risk and little return. To be an interstate operator means being away from home a lot and being on the road, getting the job done, then returning and doing it all again. "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up". Galatians 6: 9 These past weeks we have seen this picture a thousand times on the major transport routes of Eastern Australia. I often think about the drivers, each with their lives and families somewhere back there down the road. Loneliness is a great test of character when you are separated from all that you know and love. But if your work is to deliver the cargo to people who need it... then you get out there and get the job done.
Thanks again for your steadfast support of our ministry. Godspeed,
Pictured: Steve and Gav Gardner in Brisbane We received an email from Gav & Jen Gardener a couple weeks ago offering the use of their Toyota Hilux twin cab for the tour. This has been a huge blessing. At the moment the good ol' diesel Hilux is still on the Sunshine coast as our team plans changed the day of departure. But we are still very thankful to the Gardeners for their generous concern for the ministry and want to say 'thanks'. Sometimes it is gestures like this that confirm in such a profound way the Lord's hand on the work we are doing. Thanks Gav and Jen. Black Sheep Motorcycle Ministries in Australia 
Pictured: Slowdog's Heritage Softail 
Pictured: The Narrabri Concert When 400 people turned up to a Wednesday night concert in the town of Narrabri, NSW we all took a while to get over the shock. It was a wonderful event organized by Phil Spiers of the local Presbyterian Church. Many Bibles were given out to those responding to the invitation given by Steve and the crowd showed warm appreciation to the team. Local Pastors have already invited us back for the Heritage tour of 2010!! Thanks to all who helped make it a great event. Heritage Hymns get the crowds singing! 
Pictured: Jordan, Steve and Frances Here's a picture of Jordan, Steve and Frances singing hymns at the Narrabri concert last Wednesday night. We are amazed at the immediate and positive response we are getting night after night to the Heritage Hymns. It is so overwhelming to hear people worshipping the Lord with these historic songs recorded and arranged for these modern times. Please let us know if you would like a Heritage concert in your town next year. Click Here if you would like for us to try and schedule your region or town into the tour. 
PIctured: Jordan and Steve's Uncle Warwick on stage in Cootamundra. It's a huge blessing to tour the countryside again with the old man. Today, Joe Phipps and I got the opportunity to go do some simple ministry in Cootamundra High School. With young teens ranging from grade 7 to 11. I got to play a few songs and Joe got to really impact these kids with simple questions and sharing from his personal testimony. So far, all the concerts and luncheons have had a great response and it is really encouraging to see people, young and old, be impacted by Dad's 4 chord songs and the (re-amped) old hymns. Thankfully we have had no mechanical or technical dilemmas. So thank you for your constant prayers... Jordan Making Memories on the road (or right next to it!!) 
PIctured: Joe, Jordan, Frances, Margot, Joshua, Ian, Lachlan, Kerrie, Ryan and Steve Our team for this part of the tour is a happy bunch! The Bail family from Portland Victoria, Joe and Frances Phipps from Chico California Thanks so much to all who have been praying for the tour. We praise the Lord for the salvation stories and the opportunity to encourage many in local churches, schools and prisons in country towns.
Pictured: The vehicles on tour at the moment We praise the Lord every day for many of you who have helped us get back on the road here in Australia with vehicles. The Sprinter van is proving to be a real workhorse and very reliable. We plan to get signage done in the coming weeks, plus new tyres!!! and a bull bar is still on the list for safety. Otherwise the vehicles are going well. 
PIctured: A memorial to the unknown soldier in a Queensland town. Three simple ways you can be involved:
We are still finalising sponsorships with various organizations so appreciate your prayers on this as well. Australia for Christ. 
Love, Kerrie
The songs from the Heritage CD continue to be a great blessing to audiences and churches. Thanks again to all those who have helped to make this dream a reality. We will be touring in October/November 09 with songs from HERITAGE in Australia. If you would like to place an order, or get some for your church, visit our online store or contact our office.
Until next week, Steve & Kerrie Grace |
