Well Family and Friends It has been a few months now
Jan DTS
since my last newsletter. But Firstly I would like to say
• 11 Staff Plus 4 Kids
thank you to everyone that has been praying for me and
• 33 DTS Students
the ministry that I am a part of here in Australia, Looking back I am amazed at last year in all that God did and his incredible faithfulness. I know even the decision for me to come back on staff with RTO for another season was a battle where God once again reassured me being here. Once again I feel like God is calling me back to a foundational part of my life and ministry which is training and equipping young people to live radical lives for Jesus and helping give tools to help them in what ever mission field God is calling them into; be it business, education, government, front end missions or even just in raising a Godly family. So working towards that, I am staffing on the January Decipleship Training School. My role during this DTS along with 2 other staff members is to help assist in the running of the school under Faith and Andrew

Prayer Needs • Wisdom with the school
Dutton who are our School Leaders. But not only is it a time for 33 young adults to grow more passionately
• WOW Time management
in love with God but also we have a real significant opportunity to bless and support the local churches in our
• Also just looking to a number of options for straight after the
region through our 8 weeks of outreach.
This will actually be
the first time that we are looking to send a whole DTS out on Outreach together, so we are all really excited as we believe God is continuing to refine and redefine our DTS outreaches. Just because we tried something and it worked before doesn’t mean that we should do it again. We are called to be radical, through following a radical and cutting edge God who is continually wanting to show ways to reach out to those who are hurting, lost and abandoned. Evangelism, mercy ministries, school based activities, large events / concerts as well as any other way that we can come along side the local church in seeing their community impacted. So anyone want the joy of working out the logistics of taking 45 people in 4 vans as one group; food, toilets, showers and somewhere for us all to sleep out in the outback where some towns only have 600 people? Do you think they will know when we come into town or not? It is going to be awesome! already we are beginning to talk with the local schools, churches, city councils etc. to see how we can partner with them to see change and a message of hope presented to the youth of this north queensland region Prayer I guess in the midst of being staff on a school and all the stresses and battles that that brings up, I really would appreciate your prayers, especially in the season I am currently in I feel that there is a battle on every corner. I know that I am not alone in these battles, though they may look different. So I would also love to pray for you and would like to know some of your prayer requests. That would be cool. I Look forward to hearing from you and hope you are doing well, for any more information about the Jan DTS and updates about outreach you can go to www.reeftoooutback.com. Bless you Heaps
