It's been a few weeks since I last posted a blog - apologies to our regular readers. Hope you will like the new-look i58 now that it has 'flash' technology! Thank you all for your patience!
I'm on the road at the moment as Torchbearers Australia is looking to set up a Mission Trip in an Aboriginal community for next Easter. This is an exciting time! We are looking to God to show us where He would like us to be. I am traveling with Tony, a student from last semester, and we are visiting various churches who have great connections with their indigenous communities. We've been to Port Macquarie, Tweed Heads, Moree and tomorrow we will go to Dubbo. So far we've seen some GREAT work going on and I think we'll have to pray and use lots of discernment to know where God would like us to serve. More news about this will follow once we get back and report to Dave and Neil. I just have to say that the hospitality that has been extended to us has been outstanding! People have been SO kind to us. And while we have been traveling we have enjoyed some new sights - we took some photos and the best of these I'll put on our facebook page.
Other news from our school is that there is a lot of baking going on right now!! We are holding a Benefit Night on 12th September for Missions and Ministry which will support our mission trip to Hong Kong on 28th and also help students who need help with their school fees. The evening includes desert and drinks plus entertainment and the main attraction will be the auction of the special gifts and talents of all our students! Most of the talents involve a fair bit of muscle, (gardening, cleaning, farm work etc) but others include help with IT, speaking German and baby sitting! How great is that! We hope to raise $2,000. I am impressed to hear from the students, (even though I'm on the road), that my flat now resembles a bakery!!
Lots of good stuff is happening at school - all part of a 'normal' week; GREAT teaching from our director, Dave, on the first book of Peter, GREAT family nights with trips to two local bowling allies and GREAT Guys and Girls nights with great bonding and praying.
I'm looking forward to sharing more news of life at our Bible School next week. Meanwhile, HAVE A GREAT WEEK!
