Wow, what a week.
This past week we had our Incredibles Kids Winter Week again. It was very tiring but also VERY rewarding. These kids just warm my heart everytime. It's so cool to work with kids, because they totally trust you. Now this isnt a ticket to tell them anything you like. Just making sure you understand that :).
I took a bit of break from blogging during the last couple of weeks cause I was so busy with all the preparations for winter week that I didnt get time to do much else. Sorry
Well I will take you through the week now. The theme of the week was Take Five. The kids were taught that through Jesus Christ, they are more than conquerers. We took them through the Bible book of Joshua. i.e. how they (the israelites) conquered the Promised Land and how the different stories relate to their lives. The kids had to identify some problems that they face in life, and then they were taught that with God on their side they can overcome these problems.
A really cool thing that happened was that on Wednesday it snowed. Yea you read right. It snowed right here in good ol Jozi. Hasnt done so in 25 years! So obviously we had a ball of a time in the morning, skiing down slopes, building a snowman, throwing snowballs at each other etc. It was SO AMAZING! We are all so greatful to God that He gave us this snow. We never expected it.
Im going on holiday next week for two weeks, but before that, I have to preach on Sunday next week. I still have no clue as to what Im gonna speak about :p. This coming week is also my birthday. I turn 25...a quater of a century old :). Hectic. It feels like Im getting old :).
The pastor and his family are leaving on Tuesday for the coast to go on holiday. He really deserves it. As far as I know the kids pastor is also going on holiday next week. God knows we all need it.
Incredible Kids and Youth only starts again in August (the 17th). Also in August the old youth pastor is coming to visit for a week.
