1Body Global
Team

launch discipleship
making movements
across the world.

Our Family motto Follow Jesus, love people, risk everything

and lose nothing - Jesus said For anyone who keeps his life
for himself shall lose it; and anyone who loses his life for me

Camera & Travel

Financial provision
for the trip to
Cambodia &
Thailand.

UPDATE: WEVE MOVED FROM MELBOURNE TO THE GOLD COAST!

The Globe is your mission field, Im sending you into the harvest - These are the
words that both Melinda and I felt were Gods marching orders for us to relocate
from our home town to a new state and new city. The Gold Coast is one of the
most popular holiday and tourist destinations, yet, once you scratch the thin
veneer of the golden beaches and pumping night life, we find a city and a
people in great need of connection to the God who loves them. Poverty, high
drug usage and crime, family breakdown, refugees and urban culture are
among over 90% of Australians that dont have an active faith in Jesus Christ. Its
here, with partnerships with people of peace that we believe God will raise up a
harvest of souls, a great crowd of disciples who, as first generation followers of
Jesus will seek to obey the great commandment and the great commission as
disciples who will make disciples. - Please pray with us to have wisdom, boldness,
innovation and empathy for the people that Jesus will connect us with.

People of
Cambodia &
Thailand

Pray for a great

movement of
simple churches in
these countries.

1 BODY GLOBAL MISSIONARY UPDATE - DAVE & MEL

5 JANUARY 2016

making disciples starting where you are!

2016 is here! As I consider what it means to live life

on mission, following Jesus and reaching the world
with the Gospel, it also occurred to me afresh that
making disciples who make disciples starts at home!
My son DJ whos 12, made the decision to get up at
5:30am each morning so that we can study the
teachings of Jesus together. This has been amazing
as he tells me how Jesus has opened his heart to
truth, how he can apply that in his life and who he can share this truth with. Being able to study and pray
together not only builds our relationship stronger but also builds spiritual muscle in both of us. I am truly
thankful that starting where you are can have a generational effect of discipleship that sees our kids
released to fulfil the great commission.

Fulfilling the great

commission and telling
the story!
We all know Jesus command to GO to ALL

nations, TEACHING them everything I have

COMMANDED.
We know its power and its
promise - Jesus says that as we go, his power goes
with us. He also told us in John 14 that those who
know and KEEP his commandments, they are the
ones that love him As part of the 1 Body Global Team I have the privilege to not only tell Jesus story but
capture the power of Gods story as lives, communities and nations are transformed. In February I will have
the opportunity to go to Cambodia and Thailand to capture the story of lives liberated and communities
being transformed through the power of Jesus. These stories help us to put the work of Jesus on display,
it helps us to see how each one of us can be involved in seeing Gods kingdom come. We are seeing
incredible stories of healing, both physically and mentally, stories of new disciples continuing in obedience
even though they are rejected for their faith and often their lives threatened. We see the living stories
unfold as whole families encounter and embrace the love of Christ - The power of Jesus to transform lives is
happening on a global scale as we see a missional multiplication movement begin to push beyond the
darkness. As I go on this next mission adventure would you consider partnering with me. I still have some
important video equipment to purchase together with some travel costs. To get the best of this opportunity
I need to purchase a focus peaking monitor, extra batteries, CF cards etc - The all up cost for equipments is
$1500 and travel expenses of $1900. Thank you for co-laboring with me.

Lets do this together!

THE 1 BODY GLOBAL STORY

1 Body Global began with Jesus impressing on the heart of founding missionary Lee Wood, the need to
move beyond some of the traditional methods of church planting,
harnessing the strengths of the early church which was a mobile
missionary movement. Today, 1 Body is part of a revolutionary
movement that is mobilizing and equipping everyday people to hear
Gods call, form missional communities, and reach others until the
whole world knows Jesus. Disciple-making movements are creating
unprecedented impact for the kingdom worldwide. 1 Body wants to
see people obey the Great Commandment and the Great
Commission: Obey GC ". If the task our Lord left us is ever going to
be accomplished it will require His followers to be of that sort.
Imagine if the norm was for followers of Christ to become multiplying
disciple makers. We want to change the world. More info email
