The India team have had a great time so far, working in Pune doing medical camps and ministering in churches. This week they have travelled on to Mumbai to work with World Vision.

This Tuesday at Pram College students were handing out free sausages with personalised New Generation cards that had messages like "God has a plan & a purpose for your life"...."You are special and unique and Jesus loves you"...

Pastor Michelle walked down to see how it was going.

She got there just as the bell rang and literally HEAPS of students were running out of the classrooms to get their free sausage.

The team did really well....and there were BAGS & BAGS of sausages distributed (we raised $400 at Meadows).

There was a HUGE line waiting at the end of BBQs and a couple of teachers had to help with Crowd Control.

I think most of the students at Pram college would have either got a sausage or heard about what was happening.

Lots of students thought the personalised cards were awesome and were stoked to get a free sausage.

Let's keep praying for the students at Pram College!!!

What an AWESOME time we had at Girls Getaway 09!! Girls of all ages took time aside in the first weekend of November to come together for a weekend at El Rancho.

There was a whole lot of laughter, fun, and incredible GOD TIME shared. This year we even had some ladies from Shannon New Life join with us which was so great :)

We had the privelege of having Pastor Julie Steele ministering to us over the weekend and everyone was so blessed as she encouraged us to lay things down before God; challenged us to continually build the altars of our heart and taught on how to live in Faith, Hope and Peace. A whole lot of pearls of wisdom and experience was imparted!!!!!

After the Friday night session we enjoyed chocolate fondue together and watched a light-hearted, girly movie "Confessions of a Shopaholic" which was made complete with popcorn & treats in our own goodie bags.

On Saturday afternoon the ladies from Otaki ran "The Amazing Race" and had us running around El Rancho in search of clues, each leading us closer to the finish line. At each clue there were physical & mental challenges we had to complete, some of which left us a little wet!!! 

On Saturday night we had an amazing time of worship followed by some powerful ministry time. It was great to see everyone respond and take a stand for change in their own personal walks with God and be ministered to in a special way by the Holy Spirit.

If you weren't there this year, we really encourage you to make it a priority next year. Girls Getaway 2010 will be one you don't want to miss!!!! Get your registrations in early for an unforgettable weekend!!!!
