First week

What a week it's been! Work officially started on Monday. I think a highlight was the SU group in the school. During lunch time we have an action-packed club for 45mins with kids 9-11 years old. The team has done an amazing job and there has been quite some excitement as the club gets going. This past week we reached our maximum number of 40 and had to turn kids away. No credit to us, it was only our 2nd week!

Now the question is what to do next. Perhaps we will look at the possibility of running 2 weekly clubs and include another year group. Praise God for such a fantastic problem so early on. One day last week I picked up Tabitha from school and about 5 kids from a class walking by were waving enthusiastically. It's great to see their enthusiasm and to be able to tell exciting bible stories that some of these kids will never have heard before.

Tonight we had our commissioning service at Carrubbers. It is always amazing to see how God works out the details of our lives and ministry on so many levels. It was really wonderful to see photos of the work that has been going on there over the last 5 years and to hear of some of the fruit in the ministries that have been established and people who's lives have been changed. We feel completely dependent on God and our team of prayer supporters for the days and years ahead. We are excited to be part of such an active, dynamic and exciting work and look forward to reporting much fruit in the near and far future.
