Yes, there has been lots goin on! I have not recieved a job yet, so all you who voted 'yes' are WRONG!! Sorry. Anyways, I'm still looking. But, my laptop has arrived, but I needed to send it to Gateway for further repairs :(. Whatever though.
I have gotten out of the Overseas Missions Ministry and switched over to Prison Ministry. On monday I went for my first visit to the Niagara Detention Center for a tour of the facility. Quite a spot. Once a week from now on I hope to visit the Center for one-on-one visits with some of the inmates. What a great time and place to minister the love of Christ to broken, hardened (for the most part) people. Exciting stuff.
Last friday NCC hosted LIVE, which was an outreach directed towards kids aged 10-18. It rocked. There was like 3 live bands, a volleyball net set up in the sanctuary, with big screen video games, ping pong, air hockey, gladiator battles, huge twister, basketball, food, smoke machines, and free ipod giveaways. We had about 70 or so youth show up, and a dozen or so got saved, and all had a good time, I believe.
Halloween, NCC hosted Hallelujah Harvest, which was a huge outreach directed towards children aged anywhere between 1 and 13. We turned the cafeteria into a games room where our Bible based action games were a big hit. To end off the night, we gathered the 50-60+ children into the multi-purpose room and Melody Wallace and I presented to them a Gospel puppet show, completely ad-lib. T'was an event, to be sure, complete with the Salvation Prayer at the close. Kids are great at recieving the things of God, it's pretty sweet.
So there are some other things goin on too, but usually just the run of the mill, everyday, stuff associated with the ministry here. Pastor Peter Youngren is in Surabaya, Indonesia right now conducting giant Gospel festivals and seeing amazing things happen. God is good, and faithful.
This month is shaping up to be something really good. There is another ministry opportunity rearing it's head as well, but I wont divulge any details of that one right now. It could be a big one. OK everyone, bye bye. Have a good one.
