Long Time No See Good Friends!

Hello!

So I havnt posted on here in awhile so I just wanted to let you know Im doing great! Learning a lot stretching a lot and really gaining a lot of perspective on life!

I had been waiting to post because I wanted to wait until we got where we were going on outreach finalized, but that was told to us today that it probably wont be until Friday! So I just thought I would let you know the 3 choices we had 1.) New Zealand and Southern Australia . . .This is one is in support of a new mission they are working on here called Mercy Ships, so as the outreach goes over the five weeks they will be going to Schools, Churches, and other YWAM bases preaching and talking a little about the ships some as well as doing things that are needed to be done in preparation for the ship to come into those towns. 2.) Is Papua New Guinea this is where the ship will actually go in 2010 and so this outreach too will be doing some prep for the ship as well as jungle trekking and preaching of the gospel to the tribes. . . .

I guess I will explain real quick what the ship is . . .Its a small ship that is basically a floating hospital that will be docked in Townsville and this ship starting next year is going to travel around the coast of Australia and helping a few that need it but mainly preaching and trying to find people to Volunteer on it, then after three separate tours around the coast it will go to PNG (Papua New Guinea) and provide health care where it is desperately needed. . .

3.) The third option here is just in Northern Australia working with the Aboriginal peoples as well as doing school ministry, and one week doing ministry during what they call schoolies basically senior week and a week of partying in beach towns!

That is for our major outreach (the five week one), for out minor outreach We will help run what they call mission adventures, they are these 10 - 15 day mission trips for local youth groups. The youth groups come in to our base and we train them and prep them for their outreach and then they go to their outreach destination and we go with them as leaders. Here again we will be going into schools and working with churches and doing different types of ministry including things with the Aboriginals and youth detention centers! The other half of minor outreach will possibly be going and staffing a christian camp for high school kids on the Gold Coast we will get to learn to surf and go to a couple of theme parks as well as lead devotions and worship every night and this is all about relationship building. If you dont go on 5DE (the name of the camp and short for 5 Day Escape) you then will be doing something else, but we yet dont know exactly what that something is.

So yeah like I said we should know what these will be by Friday, and then I will let you all know what I am doing and more details of what that is will be provided as I get it!

Ok then! Talk to you soon!

Love and Light,
J.
