God's Squad CMC - Launceston

“Baron” or Oleg is one of our club brothers who serves in Ukraine, If you saw the floating around some of the other God’s Squad chapter’s pages and are interested but missed the link to the documentary, it’s on youtube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XI3A2SJvXA

It’s an often thought about topic too of serving Jesus and serving in military or in a war and how that works. Thank you for sharing Oleg.

🎬 Уже цієї середи в Українській євангельській теологічній семінарії відбудеться показ документального фільму «Під тиском» — правдивої, сильної та глибоко особистої історії про віру, що витримує найважче.

Фільм розповідає історію пастора Олега Магдича (позивний «Барон»), який стає командиром медичної бригади на українському фронті. Стикнувшись із глибокими моральними й духовними дилемами серед хаосу війни, йому довелося пройти через випробування власної віри.

Використовуючи необроблені, оригінальні кадри з передової, стрічка розкриває боротьбу між глибоко вкоріненими переконаннями і суворими реаліями війни.

Як узгодити вчення, наприклад «підставити іншу щоку», з потребою захистити свій дім і родину?

Від активної участі в Революції Гідності, волонтерства, бойового досвіду й поранення до евакуації військових та цивільних — подорож пастора нагадує: віра не є пасивною. Вона постійно випробовується, але ніколи не зникає.
Це не просто історія про виживання. Це історія про те, як залишатися вірним своїм переконанням, борючись за родину та майбутнє.

Що насправді наближає нас до перемоги? І чому в глибині війни кажуть: «В окопах немає атеїстів?»
До створення фільму була залучена студентка 4 курсу програми «Прикладне богослов’я» — Світлана Савка ( Savka Dmytrenko ). Неймовірно пишаємося всією спільнотою УЄТС.

🎬 Автори: Living Image, Олександр Махач, Світлана Савка, Оля Махач
🗓️ Дата: 11 червня, 19:00

📍 Місце: Київ, Пуща-Водиця, вул. Квітки Цісик, 57 (Центральний корпус, ауд. 315)

«Під тиском» — це потужне свідчення того, як віра може бути одночасно тягарем і джерелом неймовірної сили у вирішальний момент.

Не пропустіть, вхід вільний🌟

Earlier this year we celebrated Dave & Pete’s milestone anniversaries. While the club isnt joined for it’s opportunities to receive accolades, (but rather to serve as our Saviour did:

“Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles Lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave— just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.””
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭20‬:‭25‬-‭28‬ ‭NIV‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/111/mat.20.26-28.NIV)

We would like to celebrate with Dave and others who have received recognition for their service to our chapter and the wider God's Squad CMC club during the National Run.

Well spoken Chris!

Thanks to God's Squad CMC - Melbourne for capturing & putting these clips together. With the sad news in Andrew's passing this last week it's great seeing him enjoying his time with his club brothers and to hear more about how the chapter originated and some of the heart behind it.

We would like to thank everyone for their kind words, thoughts and reflections since the news of Andrew/Jonesy/AJ’s passing became public.

Our thoughts are with his family, friends and our brothers at this time. Andrew cared deeply for those he did life with and we are blessed to have had him with us here in Launceston and we know your brothers you spent time with in the UK will feel the same way.

Today is the 4th anniversary of the sad passing of Smithy.

Kevin John Smith, Smithy, The Reverend Doctor, Bullfrog, John, The General. Our commander in chief, our president and for nearly five decades, our teacher. He was an academic, a pastor, a preacher, a prophetic voice, an irritant to a comfortable church, an advocate for justice, the poor, the marginalised and the arts. A music lover, bookworm and biker, and more significantly, John was a husband, father, grandpa, brother and uncle.

We remember him today as the founder of God’s Squad CMC Melbourne and president of our chapter for nearly 4 decades. He was our first International president who took our ministry beyond Melbourne, and beyond our shores. He was well known throughout the biker world, conducting weddings, funerals, child dedications and had visited hundreds of clubhouses throughout the world, almost always receiving a warm welcome.

Today we remember Glena and his family, his children and grandchildren who we know miss him dearly. Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with you all.

We are thankful John for your time with us and for teaching us what it was to be a follower of Jesus, the Jesus who spent his time on the margins and calls us to do likewise today.

Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
He refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.
Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,[a]
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely your goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.
