Action Packed Day Out!

 

Seven Christian men with their fourteen guests visited the Life Discovery Centre near Crawley for a Multi-Activity day of karting, quad biking, jet skis, canoeing and paintball games. But the day was not just about fun, although one guest commented after the first event that it had already been “one of the best days of my life”. The purpose of the day was to give our guests space to think in a fun environment and that’s exactly what it did!
During the orientation session at the beginning of the day we were all asked to think about some questions of life during the morning activities. This worked well and many of us had opportunity to talk with our guests around the questions set.

Year Team Visit

So it was the end of my time on the ‘Year Team’ and time for a mission trip to complete the experience! We joined with Spearhead to go on a mission they were running to the Roma Gypsies in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. As well as the group of 12 of us from the ‘Year Team’ we joined with people from KC21 Aldershot and ‘Living Waters’ Church in Clevedon, King’s Church in Poole, and some others as well as four lads from Tajikistan who taught break dancing to the Gypsies. So a total of 28 of us headed off to Plovdiv with a strong sense that God had gone before us and prepared the way. As a team we were expecting great things from God and ready to do great things for God. We were working with a lovely couple called Craig and Milena Sibthorpe who do an amazing work with the Roma Gypsy people in Bulgaria. The Roma Gypsies are very much looked down upon by the Bulgarian people and treated badly. Many of the people are into stealing, prostitution, drink and drugs. A people very much on God’s heart and in need of His presence in their lives.
