Pray for The Kids Club Awards night. It will actually be on Sunday April 29th at 5:30 pm. Pray that families would come and be open with soft hearts to understand that Christ died for them! And, rose again to give them a new life!!!!

Pray for Chris as we are attempting to get him a new insulin pump. The one he has he has been wearing for 9 years. They should be replaced every 3. Pray that this would be a smooth change over. We meet Tuesday morning to find out how a new one will work.

Pray that Chris and I would be able to connect with 10 churches and new individuals to pick up to be apart of our team!

Pray for Melissa as she puts together a woman's Bible Study to meet on Wednesday mornings. Pray that ladies would be excited to come and would be eager to learn more about God.

WA Youth Camp

This year we had 6 guys and 6 girls go on the Western Australia Youth Camp. 11 of these teenagers were from our church! It was really exciting as we prepared for camp. The teens worked hard at their jobs and fundraisers so they could attend the camp.  It was well worth their effort because they had an awesome time.

The teens had to prepare all their own meals, with our help as well as we did all kinds of group bonding games, and lots of exciting activities.  After cap was over I could barely walk. I realized that Chris and I are NOT as young as we think we are! We had played capture the flag, and climbed sand dunes, and done all kinds of crazy things, and our legs were sore for atlesat 3 days... :) And, we were exhausted. We are not used to only getting 1-2 hours of sleep! :)

The weekend was focused on the phrase ECHO.
His Words- My speech
His Walk- My steps
His Will- My Stay
I am - I ECHO

Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children. Ephesians 5:1

 The teens made all kinds of personal commitments and I think Laura (Rachel's Sister) is very close to becoming a Christian. please pray for Laura as Chris and I share Christ with her!

Easter Egg Hunt

Landsdale Community
Easter Egg Hunt

This years Egg Hunt was a complete success. We had 109 children register and participate with their parents.  There had to be over 175 people in the hall because it was totally packed!   We had craft stations, Easter egg hunts according to age groups, jelly bean count , colouring in contest, free popcorn and drinks, but MOST importantly we had a story time where Melissa read the real meaning of Easter.  Each child was given an opportunity to make a choice and decide whether they were going to "believe" Jesus was alive.   "Kids Club" also sand two songs for the audience.  It was beautiful! The kids were fascinated and you could see their mind clicking over. It was a very busy,  but fantastic day.  Melissa and I have been organizing this for weeks and months, but we literally got up Saturday morning at 7:00am and never sat down till 9:00pm and that was with a WHOLE pile of everything left sitting in our living room at our house.   It is a lot of work to gather everything together and then haul it down to the haul for an event set up and then bring it all back.  We used every table and chair that our "rental" facility had to offer!

I also forgot to mention. We never did get our crafts that we ordered until 8:00am Monday morning. So, we had to go out and purchase all new stuff.  We had ordered three weeks ago our craft items and paid for three day shipping. But, UPS was very kind and ended up giving us back 1/2 of our shipping for not getting our package to us in a timely manner. 




We had quite a few emails after the event from people who have never participated in anything with us in the past and they kept commenting on what a great event it was and that the love of Jesus just poured out of our church family.  We have lots of following up to do!  So pray with us that we would be able to connect people to Jesus in a powerful way and that they would see the need for him in their lives.
