From Ben:
Moving Forward in Faith Amidst Uncertainty
'Looking ahead to ministry at Sydney Uni this year, much remains uncertain. With the more recent COVID outbreaks we don’t know what activities, if any, the University will permit us to undertake on campus. We don’t know how we will meet new students or if even the scaled-down Welcome Week activities will proceed as planned. And for euFOCUS, we don’t know how many international students will be studying at Sydney Uni this year as the international borders remain closed.
In the midst of all these uncertainties, we do know that God our Heavenly Father knows what is best, and so continue to look to Him in faith, as we plan and prepare to bring His Word of grace to the students of Sydney University. We do know that He has appointed some for eternal life amongst those He has brought here from the nations. And we do know that He delights to display His mighty strength in our weakness.'
