home again

hey all, i am back at home base. i had a simply amazing time down in tassie, of which i will fill you in once i have slept and allowed my brain some down time. God is great, not that i didn't realise that before, but some pretty awesome stuff happened down in hobart.

anyway, my bed is calling my name and i believe that my brain is already asleep, i am just so tired that i haven't caught up on that yet :)

God bless - God is with you.

Leadership

the past few weeks have been really interesting. we have had the privilege of having some local talent coming up to base to impart both wisdom and knowledge in us. it has been both entertaining and enriching and i feel like i have been able to draw lots of practical applications from the teachings. things that i can see myself using and implementing.

we are all getting ready to head off to tassie for a week to run two different youth camps. the prep has been interesting and i feel like the time will be very challenging and give opportunities to put into practice the things that we have learnt.

i am hoping that it will be a time of growth for all the team and that we don't all freeze. Yet apparently, it is warmer there than it is here in the Adelaide hills at the moment. go figure :)

to think on:

- 'Fear of the Lord is the beginning of all wisdom'

- we don't have to have knowledge to be wise

- God gives his wisdom to those who ask

what do you think?

class today

so in class today we had Mark Brokenshire who is the dean of education for Institute of the Nations international... it was a very interesting lecture and he had some pretty awesome stuff to talk about. such as:

Righteous means to be in a right relationship with God and those around you. you cant be righteous and do things that go against God, or others.

or

We cannot have faith in a thing... we can have faith in a person, we can have faith in God.

interesting huh?

ok. so i am once again committing to write these on a regular basis to keep y'all up to date with what i am doing and where i am at. please help to keep me accountable by pestering me to hear more news and cool revelations that i have been having

i wanna be able to use this whenever and for whatever. to inspire other, to process, to ask questions and so much more. so please stay tuned into this blog and get others to do the same

much love!

so, we have been having an amazing time the past couple of weeks in lectures. some really cool stuff has been happening in our lectures and around base.

to start of with, last week during lectures, i had some breakthrough in in worship and intercession! in this time, everyone else in my class, leaders included, began to pray for me and then they decided to lift me up in a symbol in them standing together with me and supporting me. they began to pray and shout out some awesome God truths about me and over me. then the leader of my school, Ray, began to throw water on me and baptize me. it was really awesome and it felt amazing!

..... still more to come later

so here it is!

i have decided that i am really bad at remembering to actually write newsletters on a regular basis, so as a way to combat that slightly, i have decided to start a blog. i can do it more often and it is easier to work with. so yeah.

The school that i am currently undertaking is called Principles in Child and Youth Ministry (PCYM or PaChYderM)

the people here are so amazing and i am learning so much and having a tonne of fun while i am at it.

i get to do weekly outreaches in the community at a local Kids Club helping out. we have lectures in many varied and amazing subjects with speakers from all over the world.

we are learning how to plan programs of all sorts and types and act them out/practice them in class.

well i should get to a studying.

bye
