About Us

Dear LifeWay family,



What an amazing journey LifeWay has been on so far. To see God’s power at work
through ordinary people, prepared to move, serve and do ministry together is
wonderfully exciting. To see the unity, generosity, and faith-filled willingness
to ‘have a go’ is truly inspiring. It is incredibly humbling to be part of a
community who are



LIVING Jesus' love | SHARING His hope with all | GROWING in grace together



So are you ready to ‘take-off’ on the next decade of our journey at LifeWay and
see what God has planned for us and through us? You are not here by accident.
God has led you to this place, at this time, with your gifts to be part of
realising the vision to which he has called us. To be A vibrant, multi-ethnic
Christian Church equipping and empowering disciples of all ages in advancing his
Kingdom locally and globally, by living fully, sharing boldly, and growing
purposefully in the life-transforming grace of Jesus Christ.



God has given you a boarding pass to go on a journey:



- Beyond where you have been before.

- Beyond the limits you have imposed on yourselves.

- Beyond the limits you have let others impose on you.



For as we believe the truth of Jesus, practice the way of Jesus, and grow in the
life of Jesus we can step out boldly in faith and trust knowing: No eye has
seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those
who love him. 2 Corinthians 2:9



ONE MISSION ... making disciples of all nations



ONE COMMUNITY ... serving and impacting in multiple locations



MANY JOURNEYS ... celebrating each person’s unique giftedness



TOGETHER – living, sharing and growing



LifeWay, you’re cleared for Take-Off! Which plane will you board? What stopovers
will you make? How far will you let his love take you?



God, prepare our hearts for what you have for us next and give us a heart of
faith to go where you call us to go. Amen.

BOOKS ON MOTHERHOOD

Here's some great Christian books on motherhood - perfect for gifting to Mum
this Mother's Day.



The End of Me - Finding Resurrection Life in the Daily Sacrifices of Motherhood
- $22.99



There are many books on motherhood but not many that talk about how hard it is
physically, mentally and spiritually and what to do when you reach your limits.



When Liz Wann became a mother, she was unprepared for how hard it would be. In
this book, she writes honestly about these deeply challenging aspects of
motherhood and how God works through them to make us more like his Son. Coming
to the end of who I was, and what motherhood was stripping me of, was a good
thing that drove me to Christ and to the power that he supplies in every failure
and weakness of motherhood.



This short, easy-to-read book encourages mothers to depend on Christ when they
reach their limits. They will find that God will supply what they need to cope
with the daily sacrifices and challenges of motherhood, and that he will use
these struggles to make them more like Christ.



New Baby Survival Guide: Bite-sized Bible reading for new mothers - $18.99



A new baby is a wonderful gift from the Lord, bringing great joybut also
sleepless nights, constant laundry and, sometimes, total exhaustion. It can be
hard to read your Bible and pray. So here's a survival guide, which is do-able
and God-centred. There's probably no time, brainpower or energy for your usual
"solids" from God's word but: "Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk,
so that by it you may grow up in your salvation" (1 Peter 2:2)



These bite-sized Bible readings from the book of Psalms are designed for you to
dip into and be refreshed by the Lord. Also includes real-life stories,
practical help and an A-Z of mothering.



He Gives More Grace - 30 Reflections for the Ups and Downs of Motherhood Through
the Years - $22.99



Motherhood is one of lifes most joyful yet most difficult gifts. We are eager to
get it "right", yet parenting usually highlights our weaknesses and leaves us
worried about our mistakes.



These hope-filled, positive devotions recognise the realities and pressures,
joys and disappointments of motherhood and will give you a precious reminder of
grace from Gods word to hold onto each day. They will help you to trust that
Gods grace is enough for you and your kids. As the authors say in the
introduction, Our children do not need a perfect mother. What they do need is a
mother who recognises her need for a perfect Saviour and understands that this
is the greatest need of her children as well.



As you focus on the work of Jesus rather than your own efforts, you will feel
less pressure and more freedom and joy in all the ups and downs of motherhood.



Written by a mother-daughter combination (one with four kids aged 10-16, one
with three grown kids and ten grandchildren) who are both grateful recipients of
God's grace and faithfulness in the many seasons, situations and realities of
motherhood.

FINDING SANCTUARY

Whether its the TV or radio continually playing in the background or the
persistent pinging on our phones, the constant noise and frenetic pace of modern
life can be overwhelming. The cacophony of cultural messages that permeate the
air produces an inner restlessness that says, You should be doing more, saying
more, posting more and sharing more.



More than ever, we need sanctuary, not only as a refuge from the noise around us
but also as a place where Gods truth can be clearly heard.



This 31-day devotional explores what it means, and what it looks like in very
practical ways, to lead the quiet life Paul speaks of in 1 Thessalonians
4:11-12. Readers will come to see that a quiet life doesn't mean escaping from
the world around them but centring their hearts on Christ so that they can live
with a clear focus, a quiet confidence and a steady peace.



This book is for those who



- feel overwhelmed and long for quieter spaces that allow for thoughtful
reflections and honest conversations.

- want to balance time spent online with non-digital activities and invest in
real-life relationships.

- desire a deeper quality of life beyond the online culture of noise, outrage
and self-promotion.

BOOKS ON MOTHERHOOD

Here's some great Christian books on motherhood - perfect for gifting to Mum
this Mother's Day.



The End of Me - Finding Resurrection Life in the Daily Sacrifices of Motherhood
- $22.99



There are many books on motherhood but not many that talk about how hard it is
physically, mentally and spiritually and what to do when you reach your limits.



When Liz Wann became a mother, she was unprepared for how hard it would be. In
this book, she writes honestly about these deeply challenging aspects of
motherhood and how God works through them to make us more like his Son. Coming
to the end of who I was, and what motherhood was stripping me of, was a good
thing that drove me to Christ and to the power that he supplies in every failure
and weakness of motherhood.



This short, easy-to-read book encourages mothers to depend on Christ when they
reach their limits. They will find that God will supply what they need to cope
with the daily sacrifices and challenges of motherhood, and that he will use
these struggles to make them more like Christ.



New Baby Survival Guide: Bite-sized Bible reading for new mothers - $18.99



A new baby is a wonderful gift from the Lord, bringing great joybut also
sleepless nights, constant laundry and, sometimes, total exhaustion. It can be
hard to read your Bible and pray. So here's a survival guide, which is do-able
and God-centred. There's probably no time, brainpower or energy for your usual
"solids" from God's word but: "Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk,
so that by it you may grow up in your salvation" (1 Peter 2:2)



These bite-sized Bible readings from the book of Psalms are designed for you to
dip into and be refreshed by the Lord. Also includes real-life stories,
practical help and an A-Z of mothering.



He Gives More Grace - 30 Reflections for the Ups and Downs of Motherhood Through
the Years - $22.99



Motherhood is one of lifes most joyful yet most difficult gifts. We are eager to
get it "right", yet parenting usually highlights our weaknesses and leaves us
worried about our mistakes.



These hope-filled, positive devotions recognise the realities and pressures,
joys and disappointments of motherhood and will give you a precious reminder of
grace from Gods word to hold onto each day. They will help you to trust that
Gods grace is enough for you and your kids. As the authors say in the
introduction, Our children do not need a perfect mother. What they do need is a
mother who recognises her need for a perfect Saviour and understands that this
is the greatest need of her children as well.



As you focus on the work of Jesus rather than your own efforts, you will feel
less pressure and more freedom and joy in all the ups and downs of motherhood.



Written by a mother-daughter combination (one with four kids aged 10-16, one
with three grown kids and ten grandchildren) who are both grateful recipients of
God's grace and faithfulness in the many seasons, situations and realities of
motherhood.

FINDING SANCTUARY

Whether its the TV or radio continually playing in the background or the
persistent pinging on our phones, the constant noise and frenetic pace of modern
life can be overwhelming. The cacophony of cultural messages that permeate the
air produces an inner restlessness that says, You should be doing more, saying
more, posting more and sharing more.



More than ever, we need sanctuary, not only as a refuge from the noise around us
but also as a place where Gods truth can be clearly heard.



This 31-day devotional explores what it means, and what it looks like in very
practical ways, to lead the quiet life Paul speaks of in 1 Thessalonians
4:11-12. Readers will come to see that a quiet life doesn't mean escaping from
the world around them but centring their hearts on Christ so that they can live
with a clear focus, a quiet confidence and a steady peace.



This book is for those who



- feel overwhelmed and long for quieter spaces that allow for thoughtful
reflections and honest conversations.

- want to balance time spent online with non-digital activities and invest in
real-life relationships.

- desire a deeper quality of life beyond the online culture of noise, outrage
and self-promotion.

WOLLONGONG WOMEN’S CONFERENCE 2024: UNITED

Christians have been united to Christ. But what does that really mean? And how
should that reality affect how we live, how we interact with other believers,
how we view ourselves and how we face the spiritual battles that come our way in
life? We look forward to gathering together at Wollongong Women's Conference
2024: UNITED and being encouraged from Ephesians by the immense richness of what
it means to be united to Jesus!



Saturday 25th May 2024, 9.30am-3.30pm



- This year we are at a new venue - Figtree Anglican Church! We thank God for
the provision of this great venue, with lots of space, onsite parking, and a bus
stop out the front.

- Morning tea and lunch will be provided, and we are excited to be working with
a new caterer this year.

- We have been able to reduce our ticket prices and hope this will help more
women to be able to join us.
