When Rowena and I made the decision to attend the SCAC (Southern Cross Association of Churches) Leaders Advance 2025 at Presence Church Port Noarlunga in South Australia we knew that the Lord was going to do something special and reveal what He is going to do at this very historic moment, something that will echo in the corridors of time until He tarries...

The Lord did exceedingly and abundantly above all that we had envisioned and much more.

A special time when David Kranjec ordained our newest SCAC pastors in this historic time, a moment to be captured.

Paul & Sacha Godrich

We would like to take this opportunity to honour and thank Paul and Sacha Godrich and their team at Presence Church Port Noarlunga for opening their hearts and church, working tirelessly behind the scenes making things happen for this historic moment when the baton of leadership of SCAC was passed on to David and Lidia Kranjec.

The DNA of Presence Church was so strong it resonated with everyone from their church which made our time so special. Everyone were so humble and willing to be of service. It was an honour to meet every one who volunteered their time and interacted with those of us from interstate destinations. It was obvious God was doing something significant from:

• Friday 28th February: For those who were able to attend the meal time at Mamma Carmela Port Noarlunga this evening enjoyed such a special and exciting time catching up with friends and making new ones.

• Saturday 1st March we all gathered at Presence Church where the Holy Spirit opened up the Leaders Advance 2025 when the music team began to praise and worship.

• With Sacha Godrich as our MC we knew we were in for a special weekend.

• Alaine McElroy spoke such a powerful message the Lord had set the scence for:

• The Passing the Baton - Laying on of Hands on David and Lidia Kranjec.

• Then Morning tea/Coffee was another time to connect and interact with those who were there.

• After that David Kranjec spoke as the new SCAC Leader by sharing his testimony from birth right up to NOW!

• We then all went off to have lunch across the road for some and down the street for others with our new friends,

• After lunch more worship and Paul Godrich spoke a very challenging and powerful message.

• Paul then introduced Darren Keneally whom the Lord used to stir my heart up to be the evangelist the Lord has called me to be.

• We then all had a break so we could all meet for dinner at the McLaren Vale Hotel. What an amazing time to have food, fellowship and fun while getting to know more friends. And the food was just amazing.

• Sunday 2nd March was when things got more exciting because we got to meet more people who attended church where we had worship and the word brought by Paul Godrich who by the way shared powerfully through an "object lesson" that impacted many epecially me.

• That message set the tone for those who were ordained as SCAC pastors by David Kranjec - and what a special historic moment in the corridoors of time for each of those who were being ordained. What a time of encouragement, inspiration and blessings.

• We would really like to take this opportunity to congratulate and welcome those who were ordained as they obey the call of God on their lives in this new season of their lives.

• Presence Church once again with servants hearts served up lunch where we got to chat with those who were ordained and be blessed as their enthusiasm was contagious.

• After lunch David Kranjec's message "Understanding the Season" began with going back to our moorings, who we are, where we've been and our calling into living an apostolic configured lifestyle and he set the tone, direction and trajectory for us as we seek the kingdom of God where we find the King whom we know through the foolishness of God confounds the wise. He spoke about the dangers of navigating waters that could take us away from apostolic wineskin and how we can stay on track moving forward as a family working together.

• After such an inspiring message we had a time of worship, ministry and fellowship as the event began to wind down.

• Hugs and koinonia kicked in as we all made our way to Adelaide Airport so we could go home.

• It was a very exciting trip home however it was tanished when I had a panic attack on the plane in the toilet because I had not idea the Captain was getting everyone ready for landing....

• That moment was something the enemy meant for evil yet the Lord turned it around for His good.

• With 35 years of marriage it is definitely rewarding knowing Rowena has helped me fulfill my potential and I helped her fulfill her purpose.

• This is something we believe will help us finish life and ministry well leaving a legacy for the next generation now not later.
