Youth Group IGNITES!
Our Ignite youth centre Friday night had 28 youth attend! A couple of weeks ago we had this same situation however Chris and I were caught off guard. But, not this time. The teens read the rules signed youth group contracts on behaviour! And, we actually had a blast! We played group games, and were actually able to facilitate activities! It was SO much fun! Pray for us as we have to decide how to respond to this. 16 of these guys were footy players, and we want to reach them for Christ. Yet, there are some social issues that are a problem. Pray for the church as we make some decisions about how to conduct the youth centre, and whether or not we should move it to another time. The most major problem is that after the games the parents stand outside the hall drinking and having a good ol' time. However, we are a Christian organization and we do not carry a liquor license which is REQUIRED in Australia. So, we are praying for God to show us the way as we discuss this with the footy group and find an alternative solution without loosing the footy boys! We believe that God is starting to change them and they are starting to open up to us. When it was time to close we literally had to almost kick the kids out! Because, they would not leave! WE praise God for such problems and hope that you will pray with us as we seek an answer!

Friends Night at church
Also, Sunday night we had Friends night at church. A teen that I have been bringing to church named Cindy has been coming for about 8 months! This Sunday night her dad came to church and brought her 3 siblings! HOW EXCITING! God is moving here, and he is starting to change lives! Tun, Cindy's dad would like to come back. Please pray for Tun and his family!
Asking for Prayer for our Young Adult Camp!
This week our DS is coming out and we are taking the Young Adults away on a 36 hour camp! Chris and I will be running Bible Studies and group games to build leadership and a bond between all of them. Pray that we would have a good trip and that they would unite together! Also, we are Sunday morning visiting a town called Katanning which is a sheep farm town 4 hours from Perth. On Sunday morning the church will be bringing in members! WE will be there to show them our support and to also build a bridge between us and them! We will be leaving our kids in Perth. Pray that this time would be a time of bonding, that our children will do well with out us, and that an unbreakable bond and growth in who our young adults are in Christ would be made!
