God is Faithful!
Hello All,
Two days ago I gave a talk at Abbotsleigh chapel to the whole school! My talk was on how God is faithful to his promises and he is concerned for his people. I spoke from Exodus 2:23-3:4. I enjoyed preparing the talk as I was being constantly reminded to trust in God's strength and not my own, and also the reminder that God is faithful!
In giving the talk I could also see that God was working through me to present something that was clear and faithful to the word. I have also been sick for the past couple of days and was sick on the day of giving the talk... but by God's grace, I was still able to give the talk and the students were very attentive.
Praise God for his power and strength, love and faithfulness!

JOLT
JOLT (Jesus Over Lunch Time) is the Christian lunch time group at the Bush School. We had our first meeting last Thursday and I was greatly encouraged by it.
Although there were only 6 kids there for the first meeting, there were many kids who popped their heads in to see what was going on. A lot of them said that they would come next week.
At JOLT we introduced ourselves to each other, made up cool nicknames, played some games, read the Bible and prayed. A few of the kids there had never read a passage in the Bible before so I had to teach them about the chapter and verse numbers. I also had to teach them what a Bible study was and how to answer questions. At first they weren't answering questions by looking at the passage but by the end of the session they had gotten the hang of it. What a great opportunity to be able to teach kids how to read the Bible for themselves. I am really excited about opening up the Bible with these kids every week.
For our first Bible study we asked the question "Who is God?" From looking at Acts 17:22-31 we saw that God is bigger and greater than us, however he is not far from us and wants to be our friend. This week we will be asking the question "Who is Man?" We will see that there is no one righteous, not even one. But God has provided a way for us to be in a relationship with him even though we do not meet his standards.

- Praise God that JOLT has been able to start again for this year and that there are many kids who are interested in reading the Bible.
- Pray that I would faithfully teach the Bible to these kids and that they would come to trust in Jesus as their Lord.

a quick update
This week has been my first full week. I went to Abbotsleigh on Wednesday morning and also started Scripture classes this morning at the Bush School (However JOLT - the lunchtime group - hasn't started yet).
So now I am getting a better understanding of what my weeks will look like which is good. So far so good.
This Saturday I'll be going to the Abbotsleigh Crusader's weekend away. This will be a great opportunity for me to get to know the Christian girls better. I've already seen them on two opportunities at school and I feel that they are opening up to me more. Pray for Tim Clemens who will be giving talks on the topic of faith. Also pray that this will be a beneficial time for me as I meet girls and encourage them in their Christian lives.
