Sydney & the Blue Mountains – Prophecy, Words & Pictures
Over 10 years ago while Mark & Helen were members of Wycliffe Bible Translators, they began to be stirred by ‘thin places’ that litter the landscape of the United Kingdom & Europe as they led teams of young adults on missions tours.
These ‘thin places’ where the distance between heaven & earth is so tangibly thin, began for them what is now their pursuit, creating such spaces for the presence of God. Affectionately they call them “Tabernacle Spaces”; a reference to the Tabernacles (special set apart places) of Moses & David that occurs in the Scriptures.
Over the years as they have lived in Germany, Australia & USA, Mark& Helen have witnessed the emergence of such ‘Tabernacles’ in the privacy of people’s homes as well as in public places such as church buildings.
From the very beginning, they have held a somewhat detailed vision of establishing a place where the nations would come to simply be in the presence of God. This ‘watering hole/presence place‘, they are now contending for in Sydney from the gateway of the Blue Mountains.
The vision they have seen is a property with one building centrally upon it surrounded by nature & space.
This building is the ‘Tabernacle space’. It is an open, accessible space full of light, continuous worship & the beauty of His presence. It is His space touched & filled by His presence.
Here people can freely seek God personally and corporately.
Mark & Helen are called to cultivate & nurture such a consecrated place devoted to Him. They are excited to help foster an atmosphere of praise & worship that delights the Father’s heart as people encounter His life changing presence, freedom & love!
For nearly 10 years now they have been & are seeing this in their ministry but believe that God wants to greatly increase this through a dedicated public Tabernacle Space.
