Week 9 update

Well it's the beginning of week 9 now less than a month and then we will be leaving for Nepal (28th of sept), the last three weeks lectures have been on Advocacy, Fear of the lord, Relationships. I'm really looking forward to getting more involved in hands on out of the class room type of way. We have had a lot of opportunities in our spare time to get out around here. On Friday I went to the train station with a friend and ended up talking to a girl (15years old )there that was homeless and begging. As we talked she shared her story about how she had a mum who was a drug addict and her dad wasn't on the sence. It saddened me and seamed unbelievable that in such a affluent place this could still be going on. That hundreds of people would walk by but not really take interest in her and her plight. This stirs me up to want to take action to provide a place for vulnerable girls and woman to have a safe place to come and stay a place where they are protected and allowed a chance to live as children but also get skilled up on how to do life. I'm not sure where this will lead me but I believe my next season's will properly be something around this area.

This is the team of us going to Nepal, India and Thailand

This weekend we had a class on how to test eyes for the some most common conditions with eyes. So when we go we can test and give advice and hand out glasses to those whom need some. This was interesting to me having recently acquired classes myself and will be great to pass on this to others less fortunate than me. It will also be a great tool to make people less vulnerable to trafficking as if they can see they are more likely to be able to make a living and support themselves.




I have also been helping out with some
maintenance fixing bits and pieces and

After work duties moving things sand and bricks and digging holes
and trenches for the construction for the new accommodation block

helping with construction of one of the
accommodation block previously just open
warehouse that will be going to house new
students. It is cool to be part of a bigger vision and be able to help out in practical ways.


Prayer points

Thanks for good health

Direction for what to do next year:

(thinking at this stage returning to NZ for 4 months then coming back to Perth to help out in a few areas here setting up a girls home helping with property and with the Priceless ministry (working around the area's of prostitution and trafficking)).

Finance for other students and staff: Here are some fundraisers that I'm involved with if you could pray about supporting

For those of you not able to make it to this one
suggest Idea is that you could sponsor a worker over
here and they can get pampered and we can get some 
finances to our trip. I will be helping by providing
tea and coffee and moral support

I will be running this one I think it will be about 12
km, or if you want to challenge me... make a bet that
 I can/can't do it under a certain time MSG me on
 facebook !!!

For this one I Plan on doing a massive bible study
 looking at mapping out Kings 1 & 2 and all the
 prophets and other details of events and kingdoms
 during this time using inductive bible study To make
 staying up slightly more fulfilling
