2006_08_26 Ski Trip

Photos from recent ski trip! Conditions on the mountain were pretty average (That's why there's no photos of us actually skiing!), but we had fun skiing 'blind' in poor visibility & rain/sleet. Stopped for a bbq at Mangaweka on the way home and enjoyed some MONSTER chocolate eclairs bought in Ohakune...NICE! Bekah came along and was a great help (Especially with the eclairs!).

2006_08 Power Up "D-Team"

We've really enjoyed spending time with the Power Up kids at "D-team" nights (D for discipleship!). Based at our home, we play games, spend time working thru a study called "Discovering Jesus", and finish up with supper! These guys are FUN and we've been encouraged by their enthusiasm and keeness to learn = )

2006_07_07 Power Up Camp

During the first week of the school hol's, 14 kids from the intermediate age group "Power Up", joined around 50 others at "Bible Discoverer's Camp". The camp was held at Foxton Bible Camp.

We had a ball! With visits to a local school gym, the Levin pool, a walk to see the flooded Manawatu River and mask-making, the week disappeared fast. After 3 straight days of rain we also ventured outside for some “Rain games”...that was FUN!

The theme of the camp was “Unmasked”...God looking thru the masks we put on to see the heart (1 Sam 16:7). The Spirit’s working was very evident thru the week, resulting in many spiritual conversations with the kids, and two trusting in Him for the first time!
