Corio Winter Mission Update
Pop-Up Church
We had one of the best ever outdoor services in June with a beautiful sense of the Presence of God, of love, awe and friendship. It was a smaller gathering in the cold, but we feel we should keep going monthly for the time-being. In the photo, Christine is leading a drama - street theatre about Jesus. Kids Club
Once again we had Kids Club in our home and 10 locals came and heard the gospel, played games and had food and fellowship. We talked about the Discipleship Course we're starting in July and there was a really good response. We're following up all those interested in following Jesus this month and getting as many as possible for the Cross Training course.

The video below gives you a taste of Kids Club where we are using drama to explore issues like stealing, smoking and peer-pressure. We then steer the kids to the Bible and declare that Jesus is the best friend you could ever have.
Discipleship Course - "Cross Training"
We have decided to run a discipleship course for unchurched kids in Term 3! Thank you for praying. We will call it "Cross Training". It will run for three Fridays. Then there will be a two week break and then it will go for another three Fridays. We have a team, a prospectus and we're now contacting all those who have expressed the desire to follow Jesus.
Intergenerational Prayer Engagement
The Lord showed me that to assign every child attending "Cross Training" a prayer mentor from the older folks at Bethel Christian Fellowship - our church. I hope to facilitate a meeting of the children and their Prayer Mentors at the Graduation at the end of Term 3. Please continue to pray for this ambitious project.
Sandra Steps Back
I need to mention that Sandra Harvey is no longer working closely with us. She has felt that God has called her to step down from Kids Club and helping me with running the team. She is still connected with us, but is not taking a central role at this time. Thanks for praying. The Lord moves in mysterious ways :)
New Ideas under consideration
I'd value your prayers about hosting a conference on new models of church. I'm also considering a sizeable Christmas Tree-Planting event with several guest organisations and I'm trying to arrange a training video with YWAM folks. Please pray we'll get the God ideas not the Good ideas.
Drumming in Band
I'm playing drums in a 9 piece band! Here is a photo of our second gig together at the Geelong Boat House - It's a fish n chip shop which floats upon the water! It is such a great hobby the Lord has given me where I can have so much fun in such a short time.

Prayer Remains Central
Here is a photo of where I pray 3-4 times per week. I feel to stress we are not trying to build an organisation. Rather we seek to impact the unreached with the love and Word of God. Here the medium is the message: intimate, personal, loving.
