I have no idea what is meant by that in reference to Covid-19, but I can't fault the way the Australian workers have both followed and communicated the rules during these times. My suggestion now would be for them to embrace online video chat to people in their fields instead of in person visits. The younger ones could already be doing that for all I know! A good opportunity to do voluntary work in the community looking after the community. This present emergency has produced many such opportunities. Or, with a car, they can run essential errands for the older friends, taking them for hospital appointments, doctors, get their shopping etc. Other churches are organising themselves in such ways. Great idea, give them the chance to preach the Gospel 1x1.

Great idea, give them the chance to preach the Gospel 1x1. Peter, Paul, and John preached 1x1 in Acts... Where they went alone due to circumstances. We also read in group of 3 Paul, Timothy, and Silas. They also went in two Peter and John Acts 3:1; Paul and Barnabas Acts 13:1-2.
When I was in the work 1 was a lone because my older co-worker went to Special meetings tours in another state, then I went and joined with two workers in the next field. I did this for 3 years.

You would wonder how Satan could put God's servants out of a job. Maybe God will help them get unemployment benefits. What! and take a cut in income?

Most of the retired Australian workers are left to live off the government. Once they are unable to preach, the system that has supported them, for most of their lives, seems to drop them like a hot potato. Do you know or heard any of the retired workers live on the street as homeless? Like I said these retired workers will be taken care of one way or another. Of course not! The government looks after them at that age.

You should be safe using that service Ellie, they just leave it on the doorstep and leave. You need not fear, there will not be an invitation to a Gospel meeting amongst the groceries.

Where do I sign up for the shopping service? Contact the overseer in your area. I understand the service is operated in twos. One drives the car, the other does the shopping and delivery. Alternatively, you can do mine? No need for a co-worker.

I wonder how many of the workers, for whatever reason, just won't come back to the work after being home for an extended period of time. I can picture that happening.

I don't think the 2x2 ministry is necessary or even biblically justifiable.

I think , curly is referring to the claims made , that the workers are HoMELESS, which is obviously not accurate - and I’m glad it isn’t true and they do have a place to go . Pity the people who truly are homeless .

Pity the people who truly are homeless . Alvin I have seen "homeless workers" with more shoes than Imelda Marcos and wardrobes packed with clothes and bit and pieces from their pre worker days. Hypocritical.

The government looks after them at that age. Yes, the gov't in U.S.A. does look after the elderly... and the families of the retired workers do look after them also. In some states they have professing nursing homes where the retired workers can come and live there to their last days.
Yes, most of the workers who left the work for whatever reason are homeless, they have no home of their own to stay in, they depend mostly on the friends or their families to take care of them for little while so, they can get back on their own two feet to find work to pay for the apartment, foods, auto and so on...

They might and they might use the friends trust fund for the ministry to use/spent on the workers, retired workers and maybe the friends help/donation too... The money doesn't grow on tree, you know. Why, don't you write to the friends nursing home email that I see post on TMB and ask them yourself... and report back to us, curly.

Australian gospel and fellowship meetings stopped a couple of weeks ago. Workers had intended to stay in their fields until meetings resumed. However, as more restrictions have been placed on movement in society, workers have been asked by the local head workers to go back to their families if that is possible or find a home that they can stay at indefinitely without being a financial burden. Last night, the Federal Government introduced the Rule of 2 - if an Australian is outside of their home with non-family they must only be with a maximum of one other person at any time. This makes it now illegal for 2 workers to go and visit anyone together. Interesting times - stay safe! Oh no! How can they seek lost souls? Trick question. They weren't anyway.

Maybe this will SPEED UP! Jesus 2nd coming to establish His eternal kingdom of Earth with His chosen people.... the gospel invitation of the Gentiles era has come to an END or FINISHED! God has given the Gentiles 2000 years of hearing the gospel Jesus SAVES.
Jude 14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him. These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage. But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Why are you so intent on ending the world? Yet you probably are trying to stay alive at the moment. Isn't that a contradiction? It makes no sense to me.

The world is NOT going to END/burn up/GONE forever, YET! It's going to be quite awhile for the whole world comes to an END. It is an END for the gentiles era 2000 yrs in hearing the gospel Jesus SAVES/Savior to enter the kingdom of God.
After the Gentiles time to hear the gospel has expired, then Jesus returns to set up His eternal kingdom on earth, where He and his born again believers will rule for 1000 yrs (symbol of the complete time frame) on the earth and throughout the Universe! During the 1000 years reign, Satan will be put in prison/inner earth for 1000 years. After 1000 yrs time/period are over God loose Satan then he gather all of his demonic army of fallen angels to fight against God and Christ the last/final battle in Israel. God destroyed Satan's army with fire from heaven.
Final judgment of all unbelievers on earth and the go where they belong then God will destroy/burn up the OLD earth and heaven completely! Celebration of the Lamb of God/Christ wedding in heaven, then we will go to the New heaven and earth where God has created for the believers and them to live forever.

Jack Price was in a great facility . We cannot afford a place like that for mom . Over $3000 She should have gone the work and be faithful to the end with flying colors to live in such nice professing friends nursing homes. I am very glad and happy for those retired workers, they have earned every penny of it in their last days. We know the worker's life is NOT bed full of roses! or easy... Those of us who had been there know about these things. God is kind to His servants NOT to give their all and end up sleeping in the street after they retired from the work. Who wants to work for a God that can't take care of those who gave their all to Him.
They stay in nursing homes where the friends can take very good care of them... Many nursing homes do NOT take good care of their patients, often ignored.
Jesus said in Matthew 19:27-19 27 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore? And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.
