Living a quiet life
Today’s episode is a recording of Chapter 6 of My Year of Saying NO.

Think about what’s important to you and how much of your time you’ll spend on different activities. What’s important to you? What has stopped in your life now that you won’t be bringing back in after things get back to some sort of normal?

Suraj is from Nepal. He comes from a Hindu family and he had to make some hard decisions when he chose to follow Jesus. He now lives and works in Tasmania, which is a long way away. The story of why he came here is a great one too. Suraj now reaches out to students who come from the subcontinent to study here. If you want to be a part of that ministry you can email him at surajnepali123@gmail.com
