Jo's visit to Canberra

Jo has just returned from her trip to Canberra. I asked her to write up a report of her trip to publish on our page. This is what she has written:

As my plane was landing in Canberra my mind went back to the last time I had flown into Canberra. It was quite a number of years ago when Larry and I attended ‘One Heart for the Nation’. This time I was on my own. After a bit of wandering around the city I found my accommodation. It was nothing fancy, but it was clean and warm. I had arranged to meet up there with my friend Alison from Warrnambool. Not long after I checked into my room there was a knock at the door and there was Alison. Well this meant time to catch on all the news. We headed off out for tea together along with two others staying at the same hotel who were also attending the conference.



The conference was organised on by the Australian Parliamentary Prayer Network and it was incredible! The first two days were held in the great hall of Parliament house. Throughout the day many senators and foreign diplomats joined in with some of our sessions. On the third day we moved into the old Parliament house building.

God’s presence was so tangible in our sessions which included worship, teaching, prophecy and intercession for our nation.

Some of the highlights that stand out in my mind:
• Meeting up with my friend Alison again
• Seeing snow fall in the streets of Canberra
• Awesome times at the conference sessions each day
• Connecting with so many people whose lives reflected a deep passion for Jesus
• Feeling at home in our nation’s capital

Maybe best of all, it was so mice to come home again and know that I had been missed. (And from us who stayed at home it was nice to get her back!)
