Planning for a 2012 that Counts
Though the need is great, we are never asked to give beyond what we have. But if I can invest a talent, or a dollar, or an hour of my time to champion the cause of the oppressed, do I not have a responsibility to do so?
Another Amazing Year in Metamorphic Land – 2011 Year in Review
The best part of this year has been the people, not the projects. So many valuable individuals, team members, volunteers, and prayer partners. And then there are the precious people we serve – the disenfranchised, poor and marginalized. For me, it is the greatest honor to serve each of these people as, together, we make the world a better place.
Metamorphic in Africa – 2011 Year in Review
This has been a great year for Metamorphic in Africa. In 2011, we held two church planting programs in Kenya and one in the Congo. One of my favorite things when we train these men and women is listening to their visions and dreams for the churches they want to create and the communities they want to transform. I am constantly amazed at the passion they carry and their belief that with God they can achieve anything!
Metamorphic in Asia – 2011 Year in Review
This year saw us focusing our energies on Cambodia and Myanmar, where we have seen around 40 new churches planted. On top of this, we were also able to assist several thousand people in Cambodia to gain access to safe clean water for not only the first time in their lives, but for life. Additionally, it was pleasing to see previous church planters initiate disaster relief plans in their provinces when floods hit in the latter part of the year.

Thanks to many of you and your fundraising effort and donations, the Metamorphic Water4Water Initiative was able to achieve the following over the course of the year: Here is what the Rarm [...]
Habits Part 7: Building for the Future
Life is a marathon, not a sprint. It’s not the start that determines your success or otherwise, it is how you finish that will determine how people remember you and your influence. If you are a leader, can I ask you, will you take the time to make a personal plan for your life? Set goals for your physical, emotional, mental and even spiritual well-being. I guarantee that if you do that, and you discipline yourself to follow it, you will have a far more effective career or ministry, and will set yourself up for a bright and long future.
Habits Part 6: Listen Before You Speak
If we truly want to be successful in business, in church, in building teams or even in family life, we need to learn how to not only listen but to understand – to truly connect. The best teacher, the best bosses, the best leaders, the best speakers, are those who learn the discipline of listening.
Habits Part 5: Win Win
Image from Alexis Rodrigo I love watching sport: NRL, AFL, Super 15s, Moto GP, Superbikes and, of course, special events like the Rugby World Cup and the Olympics. In most sports of course there are winners and losers. In fact, as a society, we are taught very early on that in everything we should seek [...]
Habits Part 4: Better Together
