Oh Father, not on the basis of deservedness, but simply upon the basis of Your mercy, send merciful rain upon the state of Victoria, I pray, through the wondrous operation of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Yes Lord!

Hi Rob...

Just popping in here before we have our prayer time this evening to see if there is any more news.

I'm so happy that you are alright. 

Hello everyone,
At last I can say that the fire threat is behind us. We have had cooler weather this past week and even a little rain which was so welcome. It gave the firefighters a chance to finally get on top of the last major fires and as I type there is only one remaining in a remote area of national park well away from any populated areas. The official death toll still stands at 210 and while it may still grow, we don't think it will get much bigger. That was put in sad context a few days ago when the State Coroner issued a statement that there were still many missing but it was concluded that these poor people were probably burn't so badly there was nothing left to indicate a person had been there. Nothing was left but ash, even any jewelry was melted and just pooled into the ash. This is just so sad. We are looking forward now to cooler weather as we start our Fall months and hopefully the fire threat subsides further.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for the prayers and thoughts you have all been giving these past weeks. The whole time we were going through this I had such great comfort knowing you all were holding us up to our Lord. May God bless you and keep you all.
Your brother in Christ,
Rob.

Rob, thank you, so much, for bringing us this report.  I know life will be forever altered from what you have known, but I also know that our God can erase all the horrors of this from your heart and mind.  Cling to Him and be assured that we are still remembering you, and your country, in prayer.

Rob, strength and peace to you and to your nation.  My prayers will continue as you all go on from here.
Becky

Thanks for the report Rob, I'm glad that maybe you are close to the end of this experience.

Praise God.  I am continuing to pray that the last of the fires are put out.  It is sad that so many have died.  So many have been lost.  So much mourning.

BUT God is Souverign

Hi Rob!

Thanks for sharing this news.  Yes, it's really been a trying time for you and your family members.  Now, even though it's such a sad time to realize that so many were killed, we will look forward now to seeing your photos again.

God richly bless you my dear brother.

Rob,
Thank you for sharing with your update.  I'm happy to hear that the fires are finally going out.  I'm sad to hear that so many people have been lost, and so much devastation has occurred.  I am continuing to pray.
Hang in there, and keep your eye on Jesus!
God bless,
