Today is the start of two-week break and, 'YES!' is the cry from our students!! Weeks of hard work are now rewarded with a few weeks to recharge and refresh! And what better place to do it than in Australia! It is no surprise that most of our students are traveling north to enjoy the beautiful sunshine, beaches and opportunities of sharing their faith with fellow travellers. It's a whole new adventure! No more doing things because they are scheduled, but now its a question of the heart - and how their hearts have been growing to serve Jesus! I'm looking forward to hearing the stories when everyone gets back and I'll post a few to share with you.
Two of our students will be traveling overseas to Hong Kong. This is our second opportunity to go to New Boy House, (with St. Stephen's Society), to serve guys who are coming off drugs and looking for new life in Jesus. Thane and Thomas are going with Jordan from our community along with myself. We have spent many hours in training to be ready for a whole new adventure - different culture, different language, different food, different way of life BUT the same Jesus working through all of them! This is a ministry that transforms lives and as we serve with them we are transformed too. I will be very excited to tell you some of our stories in our next post too. Please help us by praying for a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ as that will help us with everything we do! You might like to know that with all the fund-raising that we did this year for St. Stephen's we will have given them just over HK$100,000 towards their building fund. We thank God for using us in this way.
In our school there are lots of other things going on while the students are away. We have the Women's REfresh Conference this weekend, followed by a group of people next weekend from an Indonesian church and they are followed by the Kairos Prison Ministry who will be serving the ladies in the local Berrima Jail. For the people who stay behind it is another whole new adventure! Life is never dull with Jesus!
So, with this news update I'll close. I will be posting some updates on the i58 facebook page for anyone who would like to follow our progress in Hong Kong. Meanwhile, have a great couple of weeks and I'll look forward to sharing those stories with you then.
GOD BLESS
