<p><strong>Peter McHugh</strong></p>
<p>Peter has been in pastoral ministry for over 25 years. In that time he has planted two churches with his wife Lyn. He has also facilitated the planting of seven other churches. Increasingly Peter has found himself being called to pastor other pastors. Drawing upon his experiences with the Lord during his own walk, Peter has been able to enable others to experience revelation and freedom by learning how to lead from who they are in Christ. Peter is a gifted communicator whose greatest joy and privilege is to watch other peole right across the body of Christ rising up, stepping into their identities and demonstrating the Father's love in remarkable ways. Today, he and Lyn lead Stairway Church in Melbourne, have three married children and four grandchildren.</p>

<p>Rob is "passionate about life" and belives his life purpose is to enjoy and respond to God's sensational love for him. It's out of this intimate relationship with his Heavenly Father where he believes all of life flows. He is intentionally focused on seeing God's will being done here on earth as it is in Heaven, and he longs for the Kingdom of God to advance and for transformation to take place in people's lives through the Holy Spirit's presence. He is married to Marguerite, and has two daughters Melodie and Malia. Rob is currently Senior Pastor at GracePoint Christian Church.</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://gracepoint.squarespace.com/church-news-events/rss-comments-entry-14670994.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Happy New Year GracePoint</title><category>New Year</category><category>Rob Feeney</category><dc:creator>Andrew</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 21 Jan 2012 10:45:20 +0000</pubDate><link>http://gracepoint.squarespace.com/church-news-events/2012/1/21/happy-new-year-gracepoint.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">527828:6082735:14670929</guid><description><![CDATA[<div align="center">Happy New Year GracePoint and Welcome to 2012 - your best year yet!</div>
<div align="center">The success of this year is not dependant on our circumstances, but on the perspective we adopt and align with during this year.</div>
<div align="center">&nbsp;</div>
<div align="center">Hebrews 11:1 - Faith is being confident of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see".&nbsp;</div>
<div align="center">What is it you hope for this year? Where do you hope God breaks through and/or takes you this<br />year? What do you hope for in your spiritual&nbsp;growth and God encounters this year?&nbsp;</div>
<div align="center">Can I encourage you to take some time to pray, think and reflect over these questions<br />(if you haven't already)?&nbsp;Write down some of your answers, and then rewrite them into confident<br />faith&nbsp;declarations&nbsp;of what you are hoping for this year.&nbsp;Carry these with you, and regularly<br />declare&nbsp;them and watch out - this truly will be your best year yet!</div>
<div align="center">I'm excited about what God is doing amongst us, where He is leading us, and what He has in<br />store for GracePoint this year.&nbsp;I count it a privilege and a blessing to be a part of this community<br />of people, and to serve you in this way. &nbsp;My love for you and GracePoint grows stronger each<br />year!&nbsp;May the Lord richly bless you and pour out His favour on you this year and always.</div>
