Swan Hill

On the Murray River, you'll find the community of Swan Hill, where the people are friendly and the weather just right. We met there together at the request of the Salvation Army Multicultural and Indigenous Australia Council to consider how we might better connect with Indigenous People. It has been a remarkable day.

Members of the Cabinet and the Council met with many Indigenous People on the banks of the Murray River. First we ate at the BBQ, then we actually did sit at the ten steps on the bank of the river. We listened and shared from the heart as God was glorified by such communication. By the end of the evening we were back at the corps hall celebrating and singing in sweet fellowship and harmony. Hallelujah!

This is where we belong.

Colossians 1:22 (NIV)
22 But now he has reconciled you by Christ's physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation--
