see you in September!!

Last night was a great way to end the 2010/11 season! Lots of kids, lots of volunteers, and lots of burgers! The fact that we had over ten regular volunteers around yesterday and that the sense of camaraderie and "in it together"was so strong is testament I believe to how far we've come in ten months.

I really want to thank everyone who has contributed to the work in Old Woking over the past year (and in previous years), it is very much appreciated. We don't win these battles in isolation but as a united front!!

This year has seen many more helpers assimilated into the team. Its seen the deepening of friendships with the children. Its seen the beginning of "interrogate". It has witnessed the sharing of the Gospel and regular prayer with some of the kids.

I believe this is just the beginning. God has enabled us (and others) to prepare the ground over these past years. The future I believe is potentially so exciting as we witness God gather in His harvest, as we see lives transformed and Gods blessing poured out. Have a great summer everybody, we look forward to partnering once again in this mission come September.

God bless you, Paul.

many, many thanks.

many, many thanks.

Gotta Roll With the Punches

Difficult evening people! A lot of kids, just a couple of volunteers....snatches of conversation in amongst the noise, the flying beanbags (think we need to suspend the beanbags!!), and the high spirits! A visit from the old bill at the bidding of a local resident brings on an array of discrete hand gestures!!

Called time on the whole thing early! Are we downcast? Maybe a little, but Christ reigns above all! Are we beaten!? Not at all, we simply dig in, persevere in prayer and faith, put on the full armour of God and eagerly await the next bout!!! Sometimes, for the love of Jesus  and the extension of His Kingdom, I guess you've gotta roll with the punches.....bring it on.....

Old Woking - Relationships Growing

Wow what a night, who would have thought that we'd get so much breakthrough in one evening (and without Silver fox and Paul)~!!!

Averagely there were 24 young people around, but there were about 40 in total, lots of new older youngsters.

There was a definite tangible presence of God on the rec, the young people could actually listen to what we were saying and were able to talk about things calmly. The football was a pleasure to watch as there seemed to be no division between the Outside Light team members and the young people. There were conversations held by the girls and a number of the lads about a social action project over the summer and Soul Survivor. There was only one lone voice who had something negative to say about God/Jesus, the rest just accepted us the way we accept them. In fact i'd say there was a lot of Godly attributes being reflected, mostly by the young people who were not even aware of how they were behaving. One of the mum's also visited to find out more about who we are and what we were doing. She stayed till the end and said she'll come to the BBQ we invited her to next week.

 

All in all it was one of the nicest evenings i've ever had with them and it flew by.
