The details

At least one copy of our Church's Annual Reports for the years 1989 until 1999 inclusive to put in our Church Library. Please hand any to the Church Office/Help Desk please.

We urgently need the assistance of someone who knows a little about desktop publishing to prepare our weekly iSheet. 1-2 hrs per week. See Jim Gailer this week please.

Praise God - approx. $2000 was raised at last week's garage sale. The Missions Committee wish to thank all those who contributed goods for sale. Thank you especially if you came along and shared the workload and the fellowship.

Funds raised will be used to help send a team of our young people to Cherbourg Aboriginal Community in September and also help team costs for a Mission Trip to Sri Lanka in August 2009.
We are looking for expressions of interest from six young adults for this trip. People interested in being part of this team, please see Jim Gailer or Winston Madawala now.

Dear Praying Friends,

Apologies to those who were concerned that they haven’t heard from us for some time! I (Lisa) got myself too busy and am just trying to create more balance in my life (once again) and catch up on my “to do” list.

Your prayers are significant to our effectiveness here. You will notice a number of answered prayers from our email request in February… Praise God!

Thank you and bless you for journeying with us!!!

Humming along…
Life is finally getting normal (ie busy!) – settled
after over 8 months back. Phew!

A new intake of Physios
Two months ago, the Physio Up-grade Training
Program began with a new intake of students,
perhaps for the last time. This group includes
three lecturers from the physio school which
presents some interesting challenges.

Many of these physios have poor English,
meaning Steve spends the majority of his time

Dear Praying Friends

In summary
- Praise God that we’re back in Caracas (after our wonderful team retreat in Curacao)
- Praise God for the missionary consultation last week.
- Pray for Jorge (a young father from church) and his wife (Natalie) - Continue to praise God for all of us in good health.
