Well, I am back in Perth for a fast and furious two days... We landed and started preparing for the next leg of our journey. We are going to be headed up into the northern territory called the Kimberley's. We are going to be working with aboriginals community for the next three weeks. There will be 5 teams headed up there.. so a convoy of many vans and people!
I am so excited and growing in excitement about this experience. The aboriginal people have so much history and need so much of Jesus. The situations that are happening up in the communities we are going to is unreal, especially when you think about the fact that this is australia. A completely western nation. This is the first time perth is sending teams up into the communities so we hope to see lots of doors open, relationships built, and learn as much as possible for the people up there.
To get there will be long! We take a solid three day road trip to get to our meeting point where we will have orientation and met some of the tribal elders. We are talking three days of 10-12 hours of driving through this beautiful country! I am so excited and at the same time praying a lot that the Lord will sustain all of us drivers! (myself included since I am now a driver of the left side of the road!) =)
We will be camping the whole time... so all the way up and then in all the communities that we are staying we are camping, in fields or footy fields (kindof like football fields) I have little experience with camping but am sure that my knowledge will grow tremendously in the next few weeks... bahaha...
Apart from being able to do all sorts of things with the people like discipleship, prayer, kids programs, youth programs, dramas, and showing movies on Jesus and forgiveness and reconciliation. We will also be learning and letting the locals take us around and show us things like hunting goannas, kangaroo, snake, and taking us on bush walks (don't worry - not swimming for us - we don't need anyone pretending to be crocodile dundee!)
okay well i will be offline for a while, but I am really excited about this trip. The holy spirit has really been stirring in me as we prepare and hear about the people and their needs. I think I am really getting God's heart for their needs and situations. I love when that happens!
you are blessed to be a blessing.
