“Mt Isa Dam” is to 100% full, because of the rain in the last few Weeks “Brothel” is closed after a lot of prayers “Gen Laurent Nkunda” the leader of the strongest rebel group in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, has been arrested in Rwanda. Some 250,000 people fled their homes in the region when Gen Nkunda led an offensive on the city towards the end of last year. Some five million people are estimated to have died as a result of almost 15 years of conflict in DR Congo, following the Rwandan genocide.The capture of Gen Nkunda is being billed as the "end of the war" by many. It´s a answer of our prayers because we prayed on the same day for congo in our intercession time and they caught him in the afternoon. “Church and Biblestudygroup“ I found both :)
Youth Street has started and we can see the first changes. Two Weeks Ago a Girl gave her life to God when somebody shared his testimony at 1/80 hour. Also do we have a few new people coming as a result of our weekly evangelism and different ministrys. Last Saturday we had a conflict between an aboriginal and australian but right after that they said sorry to each other without any influence by a staff. It is amazing so see the progress in relationships among themselves and openness in small groups. Aboriginal Church gives us the opportunity to lead the kidz programm during the church service. We have between 20-40 kidz coming and doing games, telling biblestorys. A few of them are already coming to Youth Stret and we can have a lot of impact in their non christian lifes.
"PCYC" asked us to do a youth disco every Friday between 6.30-9.00pm. But of course we take this chance to do it. Through that we can have a lot of influence in the music, can invite to youth street and build relationships with the youth. We going to start next Friday and I´m responsible for the music, so therefore I´m really excited. “RE class teacher wanted” at the moment we have the opportunity to teach in more then 20 different RE classes without being a trained teacher.That is a miracle and we´re still looking for more volunteers, but when we don´t get enough some classes not gonna have it. “Street Event starts soon” last week I spoke to the police about my idea to do a event on thuersday nights with games, music, prizes, drinks etc. A few days later they talked to us that we should do it every week and that we have their support in everything. I believe God opened a new door to reach the youth and to stop the crime, fights etc. “Timeout” a new biblestudygroup for our Youth Street crew every Wednesday afternoon.
“Outreach Team” from townsville is helping us out the next 3 Weeks and we´re doing different programs in hospitals, aboriginal villages, churches and at the street “New Projects” that we can reach a lot of young people and that God´s spirit is leading us to be a light “House situation” our house is still on sale and we have a lot of people coming in and out. So please pray that we will find something else when we have to move out of it “Natural disaster” a huge bushfire is destroying victoria and the cities around, more then 126 people already died and 750 houses burned up. We also have flooded towns between cairns and townsville. Please pray for the people!!
