When I write this now I'm sitting in the middle between the cases and ask me how I ours, Glump 'get in there.
The highlights of the last few weeks have been the Christmas event for the kids after-school clubs and the church. The event was completely designed by us as a YWAM team and should be for the children a testimony of the true reason of Christmas. There were testimonies, dances and games from our Kids.
the end of the 7th Week there were debriefing, we exchanged our experiences and prayed for each other. A Norwegian family drove back that is a little earlier, because the children wanted to be home for Christmas.
Last Sunday (17.12.) I was privileged to preach in the church came from the reactions in some it is probably quite good (my first sermon in English!) To.
On our free day we took a trip to the Banks Peninsula near Christchurch, Akaroa back to where I and the men at the beginning had our outreaches the Men's-Camp. Akaroa is a charming village on a beautiful bay. You can still feel the French flair, because there landed the first French settlers, realizing that the British were faster, and the island was already in British hands.
Now we're on the go to Te Anau, but we will stay one night in Dunedin.
The weather is still too cold for the season, but this morning it rained in buckets and had 8 degrees! The children are excited and looking forward to Christmas, well, maybe we have still snow - at the temperatures (Te Anau is even closer to the South Pole and will be even colder than Christchurch). At New Year we are in Cromwell (near Wanaka) and then you go on 8 January in the north to Motueka (near Nelson) to the Abel Tasman National Park and then a few days after Takaka in Golden Bay. Am 18.1. it works then again towards Matamata, where we at 22.1. the next school visit.
We wish all our relatives, friends, colleagues and other visitors of this blog a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
