Discipleship is what we call learning to follow Jesus in our daily lives. Accepting Jesus as our Lord and Saviour is the first step, discipleship is the continuing journey of walking with Him daily and learning as we go. It is becoming more like Him in the way we live.

The Resurrection of Jesus is the event that most fascinates me. It fascinated me so much that it changed my life back in 1989.
Up until that point I had a basic understanding that Jesus died on the cross on Good Friday and then He rose to life on Easter Sunday.
But in all honesty I did not know why He died? When a friend gave me a tract that explained Jesus died on the cross for my sin, it started to make sense.
I realised I was a sinner and I needed God’s forgiveness and Jesus’ death on the cross made that possible. I could be forgiven because He paid the price for my sin.
The resurrection showed that Jesus had the power over death and that God was satisfied with His sacrifice for us. It also showed that we will be resurrected one day too.
This truth changed my life and gave me a new purpose – to live for Him. In a sense I was dead in my sins and then I was raised to a new life with Jesus.
I believe the birth, life, death and resurrection of Jesus are the most significant events in human history. I believe that if you want true life now it all begins with Jesus.
Today I would encourage you to visit my peace with God page so you can begin afresh with Jesus. You can find it here.
Here is a free download from my main website. This booklet contains a collection of short reflections from the book of James in the New Testament. The reflections have grown out my morning devotions and meditations on Scripture. There are 14 in total.
One of the things I wanted to do when we started PASSION Australia back in 1998 was to have a website. It was very strongly on my heart.
Back in 1998 you had to write lines of code in html to build a website. So I stayed up late every night after my family had gone to bed to learn how to do it. Some nights I would get to bed at 200am.
Eventually it all started to make sense. I had a website online and people started to come. I remember getting 50 people visit in a month and being very excited. Then 100, then 1000 and so on.
Now 27 years later we have had tens of millions of visitors from right around the world. So far this year we have had visitors from 77 different countries visit us on both PASSIONAustralia.blog and PASSIONAustralia.org. It is truly amazing to see the reach.
Our free discipleship booklet has been downloaded over 100,000 times. Our sermons get listens in the 1000s each week. And our salvation pages have been visited in the hundreds of thousands of times.
My prayer for the websites is that God will bring the people who need to hear about Jesus and His great love for them to us. We just want to connect people to Jesus and then help them grow in their faith. That is our heart.
One other thing we have always tried to do is make everything available for free. I do not want money to be an issue for someone finding Jesus and being encouraged in their faith. Finding Jesus is just too important.
If you are reading this today, no matter where you are in the world, I want to say thank you. Thank you for visiting our website. I hope you were blessed and encouraged during your time with us. We really appreciate you!
Our prayer for you
Loving heavenly Father, I pray right now You would touch the person reading this. Touch their heart with Your love, let them know how truly deeply you love them. Touch their mind to help them understand all that You have done for them in Jesus and what You will do in the future. If they need healing, place Your healing hand on them now. If they need protection, place a hedge of Your holy angels around them. If they are alone, let them know Your peace and presence right now. If they need provision, please open the floodgates of heaven and pour out from Your storehouse. But most of all Lord, fill them with the love of Jesus so full that it overflows continously. I ask in Jesus’ name, Amen.
This is a great question. My mission was given to me many years ago in Perth. I was doing my morning devotions and a Bible passage really jumped out at me. The passage lit up on the page like a light was shinning on it. And the words looked bigger like a magnifying glass was put over them.
The passage was 2 Corinthians 5:18-20 NLT. It says…
“And all of this is a gift from God, who brought us back to himself through Christ. And God has given us this task of reconciling people to him. [19] For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation. [20] So we are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, “Come back to God!”
This is when I felt God call me to ministry. In my heart I knew I had to tell people about Jesus and help them to follow Him. This started through my local church and several years later through PASSIONAustralia.org.
So since 1996 I have been doing my best to fulfil the mission God has given me. Some times has been in a full time role like a Pastor or a Chaplain, but mostly it has been as a Lay Preacher while working part time in secular work.
So what is my mission? I am an ambassador for Christ helping people be reconciled to Himself. I help them put the pieces of faith together to find Christ.
