" Dyck Ministries International"

We set out on our very first ‘Dyck Ministries International’ adventure at a ungodly hour of 7am Sunday morning. Wangaratta was our intended destination in which you would be happy to know we arrived safely two and a half hours later.We were greeted by a little yellow tin shed with a sign “Freedom Ministries.” We had absolutely no idea of what to expect but stepped inside this shed to a little church set up with red plastic chairs set for about 50 people. It was interesting for both of us to be part of a small church service again. We experienced things you would never see at your church back home, such as singers walking off the stage to get a drink of water etc! The little church was filled with amazing and friendly people who welcomed us into their church, and who were very excited to meet us.

I was up first with my communion message that I was little concerned about because I hadn’t spoken in front of adults in so long, (I’m used to talking to little kiddies!) but I was given many great reports about how significant it was to each individual, so really I had nothing to be nervous about.

After communion I handed the mic over to Jeremy and he did an amazing job. (Biased Wife!) His message title was “How to take ownership of your church” with his three key points being 1. You have to love your church. 2. You have to contribute to it and 3. You have to grow it. His message ended with us both praying for people, and many many people thanking Jeremy for such an amazing message. I think it was a very significant message for the church and the stage they are at.

One of the perks of ‘Dyck Ministries International’ was the thick wad of cash we were handed for the morning. Well, not so thick but it sure was a huge blessing to us, something we were not expecting.

We were then taken out for lunch with the Senior Pastor, her husband and a few other couples which was really nice. Conversation was great, lunch was even better and soon after that we headed towards Victoria’s best-preserved gold town, Beechworth.

Jeremy and I had wanted to visit Beechworth for sometime now and seeing it was only 20 minutes from Wangaratta we thought we’d make the trip over. It was such a pretty little town with the most amazing lolly shop that we just HAD to visit. After walking the streets of Beechworth we decided to make the three-hour trip home.

We were very happy to arrive home safely and get out of the car into some comfy clothes after our first outing as ‘Dyck Ministries International!’

Jeremy and I hear from a little birdie, that we have a huge fan base logging on to our blog to check for latest updates, so we hope you’re quite satisfied with this latest entry. We’d love to be able to post photos with each entry but we do not have a digital camera as yet, but we’re planning on purchasing one in Singapore on our way over to Canada at Christmas, so once we get back there’ll be photos galore on here. But until then everyone will just have to wait to see us in person!

Well that’s it from ‘Dyck Ministries International’ for today, we hope you are well and please don’t forget to email us. Just click on to the link on the right. Now that you’ve spent the time reading it you might as well drop us a line. =)

Love Meg & Jeremy
