I have great joy and many thanks for the twenty years I have been with Sydney Hosanna. Firstly, for the unchanging grace and mercy of Jesus Christ towards Sydney Hosanna, and secondly, for being able to head towards Vision 2020 together with God’s people, who are genuinely dedicated to serve. The vision and purpose of Sydney Hosanna is becoming realised in detail. It is the vision of Sydney Hosanna that God's amazing life is abundantly revealed in the areas of education and business.
Beginning in 2017, the leaders of Sydney Hosanna came to the realisation that we could not continue on as a community that dwelled on past mistakes that may have disappointed the Lord. Sydney Hosanna wants to fulfill our calling humbly through the help of the Holy Spirit. We aim to be the instrument of God's blessing by restoring Christian Education through the grace of Jesus Christ who lives and provides everything, and by creating employment through Business Mission where human dignity has fallen. We will not neglect prayer, and we will bring all the various ministries and training to the Lord. Please pray and actively join us in spreading new life together. I pray that you will be filled with God's great grace.
Shalom!! The leaders of Sydney Hosanna knelt before God with one heart. During this time of prayer, the Holy Spirit made it known to us that, hidden in the centre of our past ministries, were our own righteousness, rather than the Lord. At this realisation, tears of repentance burst out. The prayers of repentance humbled the hearts of the leaders and turned into a cry for the Lord's grace and wisdom.
"My children, let me carry out the work for you. Will you not leave it to me? "
That was His voice that we heard. All this time we had thought that we were doing what he had entrusted to us for His glory, but then realised that we had made ourselves king, pushing Him out of the way. As our weakness was revealed, the love and grace of God became even clearer. This love and grace has caused Sydney Hosanna to rise again and follow the path of the cross of the Lord.
"Though I will strike the wings at dawn, and go to the ends of the sea, and dwell there, Thy hand will guide me, and thy right hand will hold me" (Psalm 139: 9-10)
Prayer before all, Christ before all!
We look forward to the things that God will do. Although we are like a small jigsaw puzzle piece in the great work that God has planned, which we cannot even begin to fathom, we will strive to be a worthy Hosanna community. We praise God, who has led Hosanna up to now, and who will lead Sydney Hosanna towards Vision 2020.
Hallelujah!
