Welcome to YVV YOUTH 2008!

Can’t wait to see you all on Friday!
Hi all, it’s been a while. But do check out this guy’s myspace page.
He’s 15yr’s old and is doing all he can to help get rid of slavery in the world. It’s pretty inspirational.
No more complaints about being too shy or too young, you don’t have to be the upfront world changer, but you can do so much with who you are through God.
Watch the Good Morning America video (I might see if we can show it at youth next week) if you can. It’s really interesting.
For all you myspace lovers, Kevin Butterfield (the new pastor) has a myspace page.
Where are you on myspace?
Hello all, on Sunday Jess and d’Arcy got baptised (Along with Hannah’s brother Tom and another girl Kym)! It was fantastic hearing their stories and sharing this step with them.
We all went out afterwards and prayed for them and had a bit of a party.
Congratulations to you both, it’s really exciting and encouraging. If you read this it might be good to share what you said up here in a comment.
If anyone has any questions about what went on, what is baptism or are thinking of getting baptised, please let us know!

Hello crew!
Thanks for coming on Friday – the turn-out was huge and your slums were really quite creative!
For those who weren’t there, we ’slummed it up’ (as someone said) to get a better understanding of what it’s like for a large majority of the world and after a few hours of; ‘bad weather’, thieves, boring work and a very bland dinner of rice we came inside and had a great chat about what we can actually do to help. We floated ideas of sponsoring a child, doing operation Christmas Child, volunteering at a soup kitchen, fundraising and all sorts of other fantastic ideas. Keep bugging us about them and let us know which ones you really want to do.
“The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me,
because the LORD has anointed me
to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives
and release from darkness for the prisoners.”
-Isaiah 61:1

And if you’ve got any more stories about any of this stuff or what you’ve been thinking about since Friday, we’d love to hear them!
