GOD’S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE

God’ s excellent adventure — best story in the world!
God’ s excellent adventure — which chapter will we tell?

1. Little David was a shepherd.
He became a mighty king.
When his people were in trouble,
killed Goliath with his sling.

2. Little Isaac, angel promised
— Sarah laughed at what he said.
She was old and didn’t know that
Israel was up ahead.

3. Little Moses, hidden baby,
sister Miriam was there.
Pharaoh’s daughter saw him crying
— she had love enough to spare.

4. Little Samuel, son of Hannah,
in the temple in the night,
got a message to deliver
— could he speak it in the light?

5. Little Jesus in the manger,
shepherds heard the angels sing.
More important than the Caesar:
he’s the greatest, he’s the king!

Dorothy & I had quite a bit of contact with Victor Harbor Lutheran congregation when Detlev Vosgerau was pastor there. We were going to lead the music for a service where the local Lutheran school was involved. The theme Detlev came up with led to this song — another way of relating some of the Bible’ s story, some of salvation history.

ALWS 29/5/24

In May 2023 we travelled to the Mentawai Islands in Indonesia, seeing work supported by Australian Lutheran World Service. Dorothy and I are Ambassadors for the ALWS programme, Lives You Touch. We are encouraging people to leave money in their will for the work of ALWS. We committed to leave a third of our will many years ago and hope many others can touch lives in this way.

Last year we visited churches in SA, Vic, Qld and WA with Jonathan & Julie Krause promoting the cause of ALWS.
