Great Camp in so many, many ways!

“N had an amazing time at Good News camp”

“Amazing time at Good News camp with everyone!”

“God never fails to give an amazing Good News Camp!!! Just Wow, God is awesome”

GOOD NEWS CAMP!
Set up today
Campers arrive tomorrow
Please pray for a great week in every way!

What is it?
‘Good News’ Camps are packed with interest and provide excellent value for money. Campers are given the opportunity to explore new places, meet new friends, and take part in exciting activities! Organised Camp activities include onsite sports and art and craft sessions, plus trips into the New Forest, a jaunt to the beach and a splash in a nearby swimming pool. During ‘free time’ campers can just ‘chill out’ or use the onsite facilities e.g. snooker, table-tennis, volleyball, badminton, football and a variety of board games.

At the beginning of the week all campers are placed into teams and healthy competition is encouraged throughout the week. Teams will compete with each other in a whole range of fun based activities, scoring points and trying to make sure they are the team who will win the team prize at the end of the week!

Note: These Camps are Christian based. That means that each day all campers take part in various forms of Bible study and prayer. The main learning time takes place in an action packed, fast paced programme called ‘T.G.S.’ (The God Slot). This event includes singing, quizzes, Bible readings, competitions, prayers, fun spots, video stories and a short talk.

After a great time in multicultural Acton, London last week, I am looking forward to the contrast of working in Fetcham at Cannon Court Evangelical Church.

Thank you for your prayers regarding the ‘Space Academy’ Holiday Club at Berrymead Evangelical Church Acton, London.

Despite competition from a range of activities at the nearby community centre, it is good to report we have had up to forty different children come along during the week, most of the children are first time contacts to the Church and they will provide plenty of follow-up opportunities for the fellowship.
It has been a real privilege to share the gospel with children from a variety of cultural backgrounds (Iranian, Indian, Pakistani, Polish and African to name a few) and from a variety of religious faiths. Please pray for the number of Muslim mothers who have sat through some of the sessions that their children have been attending.

FirstServe is a unique discipleship and missions programme, primarily for 18-25 year-olds on a gap year, or those with a shorter time available.

FirstServe is a gap year programme designed to give young adults (18-25) a taste of service in the UK and overseas. Not only will they have the chance to help, support and encourage others but ‘FirstServe’ (www.first-serve.org.uk ) also includes a discipleship and missions training programme.

Gordon is part of the steering group and believes that this is a valuable investment of his time.

Great day at Efford Christian Fellowship, Plymouth – teaching & preaching…

…and it was good to share the trip there and back in the company of author A.J. Jacobs – ok so he was on audio reading his book – The Year of Living Biblically – some great insights and humour from an agnostic Jew – Frustratingly I arrived home on day 361 of his diary – wasn’t sure if I should drive round and round the area for another 5 or 10 or who knows how many minutes until the book finished – in the end went straight home – I guess I will just have to go out for a drive tomorrow!
