Well Family and Friends It has been a few months now

since my last newsletter. But Firstly I would like to say

thank you to everyone that has been praying for me and

the ministry that I am a part of here in Australia, Looking

back I am amazed at last year in all that God did and his

incredible faithfulness. I know even the decision for me to

come back on staff with RTO for another season was a

battle where God once again reassured me being here.

Once again I feel like God is calling me back to a

foundational part of my life and ministry which is training

and equipping young people to live radical lives for Jesus

and helping give tools to help them in what ever mission field God is calling them into; be it business,

education, government, front end missions or even just in raising a Godly family.

So working towards that, I am staffing on the January Decipleship Training School. My role during this

DTS along with 2 other staff members is to help assist in the running of the school under Faith and Andrew

Dutton who are our School Leaders. But not only is it a time for 33 young adults to grow more passionately

in love with God but also we have a real significant opportunity to bless and support the local churches in our

region through our 8 weeks of outreach. This will actually be

the first time that we are looking to send a whole DTS out on Outreach together, so we are all really

excited as we believe God is continuing to refine and redefine our DTS outreaches. Just because we tried

something and it worked before doesn’t mean that we should do it again. We are called to be radical,

through following a radical and cutting edge God who is continually wanting to show ways to reach out to

those who are hurting, lost and abandoned. Evangelism, mercy ministries, school

based activities, large events / concerts as well as any other way that we can come

along side the local church in seeing their community impacted.

So anyone want the joy of working out the logistics of taking 45 people in 4 vans as

one group; food, toilets, showers and somewhere for us all to sleep out in the

outback where some towns only have 600 people? Do you think they will know

when we come into town or not? It is going to be awesome! already we are

beginning to talk with the local schools, churches, city councils etc. to see how we

can partner with them to see change and a message of hope presented to the

youth of this north queensland region

PrayerI guess in the midst of being staff on a school and all the stresses and battles that that brings up, I really would appreciate your prayers, especially in the season I am currently in I feel that there is a battle on every corner. I know that I am not alone in these battles, though they may look different. So I would also love to pray for you and would like to know some of your prayer requests. That would be cool.

I Look forward to hearing from you and hope you are doing well, for any more information about the Jan

DTS and updates about outreach you can go to www.reeftoooutback.com. Bless you Heaps
