Great week at ‘MegaMakers’ Holiday Club, Swanfield Chapel. Chichester. UK – 60 kids full of energy and bounce and also full of the good news of Jesus!

A Snooker Evening was the latest activity in reaching men for Christ!

The venue was The Village Snooker Club, Stubbington, the evening reminded us all how out of practice we are at snooker! The conversation was good and although numbers attending were low, it proved to be a good evening.

At the end of the evening our guest speaker Ivor Cooper spoke on the Bible verse 2 Corinthians chapter 8 verse 9:
“For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich.”
Please pray that even now his words would impact those who were there.

Superb week with the GLO Team – literature distribution, School assemblies and lessons, Church activities and we still have ‘BodyBuilders’ Youth Event tonight and the All-Age Service tomorrow!

The GLO Team – schools, schools and more schools – assemblies and some lessons – great opportunities!

Meoncross is the only independent senior school in the Borough of Fareham. It is was a pleasure to be invited in with the GLO Team to take an assembly. Following the assembly it was good to spend some time with the older classes of the school, this took the form of a Question & Answer session. The GLO Team were able to talk about the countries they were born or grew up in, their cultures and their faith!
On Friday we return to Meoncross School for a similar programme, this time with the Senior pupils.

The team then went on to Lunch’n’Meet, a lunchtime get together for older people. A chance for people to enjoy the company of old and new friends, followed by a hot meal and the GLO Team sharing a thought for the day.

iTruth Xtra – A nurture group for young teenage Christians to explore the Bible and discover how it applies to their lives.

The wind blew, the team shivered but 1.000 Good News Papers and Church invites delivered to the local area.

Ladies Craft Night;
Quote: “Had a brilliant time tonight being creative”.

A range of crafts allowed the ladies to try their hand at wood burning, glass engraving, and candle decorating, while for the less adventurous a selection of simpler ideas were available so that everyone was happily occupied.

Great start to the week as the GLO Team took our All-Age Service giving it an international feel.
Really encouraging to see so many in and so many people stay for the meal – probably our largest attendance yet at a DRC meal!
