Emil and I have had a growing love in our hearts for the young people of this generation. We are excited to have been given the opportunity to start a small Life Group for the Year 5 and 6 children at our home church and it has been incredible watching as they flourish and grow in the word. Our Life Group is grounded in the passage of 1 Timothy 4:6-16. Timothy, a young man whom Paul was building up and encouraging, surely at times doubted his importance and qualifications. Our heart is that young people of today grow with a sense of confidence that God has made them for a reason, and that they are called to make a difference wherever they are at. I personally had times in my life where I was unsure of where God was leading me. I mean, who hasn't had that question? Last Friday, Emil and I were very privileged to speak at the Whangarei Christian Renewal Church (soon to be Renew Church) youth service about this very topic. Emil brought a fantastic word to these young people about bearing fruit for Christ Jesus, and working on their lives to reflect Him so that He can empower them to do so much more for His kingdom. I was then able to share a small part of how Jesus led me to Himself, and then called me to the mission field in the Amazon Jungle. It was amazing being able to impart into these young men and women as they grow into the person God is calling them to be. Many people came to receive prayer and it was a blessing to lay our hands on them and pray for God's guidance in their lives. We had a fantastic week catching up with all our family up north, and yes - it was a bit warmer than Dunedin! The time for us to fly out to the Jungle is getting closer and we appreciate all your love and prayer. This is an exciting time, getting ready to reach out to the tribes, and we value your participation. May you grow ever more sensitive to the voice of our Saviour, and closer to Him as you study His word and pray.
