Well, the kids were sick but on the mend. So, I hope we get to head up to the Blue Mountains outside of Sydney today. Things are going well and we love the city. I met with Richard from the Burn Your Plastic Jesus event yesterday and we’re over 7000 tickets sold and hoping to sell it out in the next few weeks. And yes, the kids did a hilarious job on the video at the airport and have since helped themselves to my Photo Booth on the MacBook often so now they are amateur filmmakers. And, as you saw, they get their looks from their mom. Four out of five have blond hair just like her and could not be any cuter. Thanks for those praying for us and coming to hear me preach when the 30 sermon 11 day work portion of our Australia adventure commences.
Mark Driscoll, on his facebook.

Someone left him this comment:
Welcome to Australia Mate, enjoy your stay but one word of advice, watch out for the Drop bears … like a koala bear but bigger & they jump on people from out of trees at Dawn and dusk …. Seriously be careful. Don’t believe me, then google Drop bears or find out the hard was… but I’d hate to see that happen so I’ll be praying for you all.

Thought you may be interested to see this interview Driscoll gave in the red light district of Sydney. http://link.brightcove.com/services/link/bcpid1321273398/bclid1376842859/bctid1743107323
Thanks Matt! Good spotting
Thanks Matt.
Loved this part:
Interviewer: How difficult is it to stay to a sound gospel with all influences from the mega church prosperity gospel?
Driscoll: I think the key is to keep talking about Jesus. If your talking about a homeless guy, its hard to end up in prosperity theology
