So as you know, I am going to New Zealand. We are leaving on Friday evening or Saturday morning. While we are there we will be doing a lot of cool things. I got a few more details on it. We possibly will be doing prison ministry & high school ministry. We are working at a confrence called "Call To All" and a music festival called Parachute Festival. If you know bands such as; Switchfoot, Family Force 5, Underoath, Parachute Band, you will be stoked but slightly jealous to hear this. Our team is working in the programming section. Which means, we are working with the bands and hanging out and making them meals. How fricken awesome!
But lets back track a little bit. New Years Eve we went to fireworks in Stockton, which is across from Newcastle. They were on the shore of the ocean. It was pretty intense and cool. Then we went to a costume party hosted by a couple from our base.
We had 2 weeks of lectures. We had Calling and Vision and Missions. Calling and Vision was a really good week and I learnt quite a bit. Missions week was intense. We learned alot about poverty and unreached groups and being a missionary no matter what situation you are put in. One thing the speaker said that really stood out was "You are either the missionary that goes out into the world, or the millionaire who sends the missionary." Ponder that.
This weekend the January Summer Plus DTS arrived along with the new Sports DTS and the School of Evangelism. So our house gained about 40 people. Our school moved into new rooms and crammed into tiny rooms. There isn't enough room for the boys on our school so they moved to a church down the street. So we are busting at the seams.
But thats life in Newcastle, nothing too exciting. Talk to you guys soon!
