I’ve watched this election with more than a passing fascination – I’ll be honest, I have a tendency at times to be a political animal, and at times my behaviour could easily become, well, animal. So much so that I have brought it before the Lord in repentance. In his grace, I believe he has …
Prayers Under the Bridge
Fruitpickers prayer guide, May 2022 I would rather teach one man to pray than ten men to preach - Charles Spurgeon Praise God. He's moving. We sometimes feel like we are failing at seeing our dream - a movement of 100 groups in Australia by July 2023 - come to fruition, but, by the mighty …

Pray for movement! No matter the cost!
Fruitpickers Prayer Guide, March 2022 'But the more the Egyptians oppressed the Israelites, the more they increased in number and the further they spread through the land...'

Sprouting Fruit
We are so very excited as a team, as we are beginning to see fruit. Praise Jesus, all glory to Him. As a team, we have been together for 2 years; in that time we have been refined, unified and tested by the King himself as he makes us fit to serve in his Kingdom. …

Exodus 40:16 After time to rest, pray, regroup and plan, Fruitpickers are beginning our trainings and meetings again this week. Pray that as work and study lives recommence that we will remain surrendered in prayer and devotion to Jesus, that we …
Does Jesus Surf?
We’ve been away as you do at the end of the year. It has been a time of reflection, considering and to be frank repentance. As we read through the Gospel of Mark, I noticed that people were ‘amazed’ at Jesus, and ‘astonished’. They knelt before him, begged, pleaded and followed him often for days …
God is God.
Fruitpickers prayer guide, January 2022 'And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.' - Genesis 1:3 God simply spoke and light, a thing fundamental to all life, went from completely not existing into existence. Think about that! Even light was obedient to God's command! Our God is supreme. Unbelievably powerful! At his …
Discipling or Disciple Making – where’s the difference?
When Jesus came he taught those around him that the Kingdom of God has come to earth, calling them to repent and believe and showing them what that looked like in a practical sense - heal the sick, cast out demons and baptise new Believers, all while looking after the poor and marginalised. Most of …
