Hello Everyone!
What with the wonderful world of myspace, my poor little blog got forgotten... ahhhhh! But Kenny gave me a kick up the bum...
Anyway.. welcome back to the blog!
I've made it two thirds of the way thru the year, what an achievement for us all. It's been a tough year for the team, but all is finally sorted and well with the Leicester Pais Team.
I'm writing this on my lovely 3 days off before I embark on the lovely journey to Skegness Butlins for Spring Harvest with the Aylestone Baptist mob. Going on Thursday and coming back next Tues, so I'll be there for Easter... no easter eggs *sob sob*.
Anyway, it should be really good, about half the church are going (50ish), so it should be an amazing relationship building time! I'm in a chalet with the lads: Greg, Jason, Jamie, Tony & Matt. Please pray that this will be a turning point in their lives. Greg & Tony are finding the whole church thing really hard at the moment and haven't been for quite some time, Jason now works on Sundays, and Jason's brother Jamie is not a Christian.
This week will be an amazing opportunity to get alongside these lads, please pray that they'll all experience God in an amazing way and be brought back to church, and that God will show himself to Jamie, and he'll surrender his life over Easter!
So i'm really excited about what God's got planned this Easter!
Where was I?? Oh yes... this term has been an amazing turnaround for our team, we've all been so positive, and really developed a 'team love' which has just helped so much in the schools, being united in one aim etc etc. So it's been a really encouraging term, we're working in 3 High schools and 7 Primary Schools, with another two primary schools on the cards, as it were, that we're expecting to start after Easter.
Things at ABC (church) have been fantastic, we finish the Youth Alpha course this Wednesday. It's been an amazing time, we've had fairly steady numbers each week, 12-14ish. The church has got really behind this initiative, with different people cooking each week and some people 'guest speaking' at the course, so it's been a really good experience, we had a great Holy Spirit weekend a few weeks ago, where it was really evident that the Spirit was working in these young peoples lives.
Ok, well I've got finger ache now, so I'm going to round this update off.
Thank you all for supporting what I'm doing, in your prayers, and also through the money you're supporting me with. This year has taught me so much and really grown me into the person God is wanting me to be.
So thank you all - you're fantastic - take care & God bless!
I'm back in kent between 11th April - 22nd April!
