Then Jesus came to them and said,

“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

– Mt 28:18-20

Struggling to get on with making disciples?

Book a free chat to discuss your
biggest issue right now, and even ask about:

"The 12-month Church Transformation Project".

"Michael ‘gets it’… he's a Bible-people guy who understands ministry."

"Developing a healthy church culture of making and growing disciples is hard. But there are things that can help you take big steps in the right direction.

​

That’s why I want to introduce you to Michael Lin. 

​

Michael is part of the evangelical scene in Sydney, the people that brought you:
The Trellis and the Vine, The Vine Project, and Vinegrowers.

 

So Michael ‘gets it’.

​

He’s a Bible-people guy (not one of those typical ‘leadership’ guys who don’t quite understand the realities of ministry). He lives and breathes disciple-making. And he’s been working with Australian pastors for years, helping them—and their churches—grow in their disciple-making effectiveness.

​

So I’m pleased that Michael is bringing his skills and experience as a

'Disciple-Making Culture Coach' to our part of the world."

What others say about Michael

Mike Wong.jpg

Mike W., Lead Pastor

"Michael really knows his stuff!

Stimulating, important, practical.

Super helpful tools and motivation.

Excellent. Evidently gifted and knowledgeable. Emotion!

Bruce B., Senior Pastor

“Oilstone was a turning point in my pastoral leadership.

​

Grounded on the imperative of Jesus' mission and grounded in leadership wisdom Oilstone helped me see how I could more effectively lead myself and my church. 

​

Oilstone brings clarity to the complex thing that is leadership. For example three words remain stuck in my head, Enlist, Enable, Empower. My task as a pastor/leader is to enlist, enable and empower members of my church so that together we can pursue Jesus’ great commission. How simple is that?  Oilstone taught me that and gave me the tools to help me get gospel rubber on the road."

Testimonials About Oilstone

Graham S., Lead Pastor

"It was clear to me that Michael cares deeply about the gospel and the reputation of Christ first and foremost. 

 

Michael engages personally as he presents. He owns it in real life, not just in the abstract.

​

I would characterise him as a gospel ministry leadership ninja. 😊

Then Jesus came to them and said,

“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

– Matthew 28:18-20 (NIV)
