A Week With Andy Farmer
We had a fantastic week being served by our friend Pastor Andy Farmer from Covenant Fellowship Church. Amidst spending time with our pastors and key leaders Andy spoke at four different events and served us so well!
Small Groups Training Day’: where Andy spoke about how to effectively give lead and counsel as a small group leader as well as how to best care for people struggling with varies mental health issues.
Preaching at Sovereign Grace Sydney on Galatians 5:25 - 6:5, helping us understand what bearing each others’ burdens looks like and encouraged us to walk together in the Spirit and look after each other as we seek to follow Christ. Listen to that here.
‘Dealing with the Realities of Mental Illness”. A public event we hosted where Andy was able to preach powerfully from the Psalms and then provide clear guidance on how to navigate through the mental health world. Listen to that here:
Pastors and Planters Academy: Andy spoke to our five students in more detail on many of the themes already covered and then spent time putting them in the counsellors seat and giving them training in how to most effectively counsel.
This is just one of the reasons that we are so grateful for our partnership with other Sovereign Grace Churches around the world!
