Across Victoria, Praxeis teams have begun a wave of prayer—six regional prayer pushes spanning towns from Warrnambool to Lakes Entrance. So far, two regions have been covered – the South-West and East Gippsland. As teams gather to walk the land, connect with locals, and seek God’s heart for each place, one thing is becoming clear: the fields are ripe for harvest.
One moving story has just emerged from Colac, where Arnold—a long-standing member of our Regional VIC team—has faithfully carried God’s heart for broken and dark places. While joining a recent prayer push in the South-West, Arnold felt stirred to reach out again to a homeless friend he’d been praying for over many years.
This man had always seemed spiritually closed off, but during breakfast together, Arnold gently asked if he could pray for anything. The response was simple but full of longing: “A house.”
They prayed.
The very next day, Arnold received a message: his friend had been placed into accommodation.
“Now he wants to meet again,” Arnold said with a smile.
This story reminds us that in Disciple-Making Movements, prayer is often the spark for spiritual breakthrough—even in hearts that once seemed closed—because ultimately, disciple-making is God’s work, not ours.
