schoolies!

hey everyone sorry i didnt get to you all on monday like usual. this week has been very hectic trying to get everything ready for next week filming at schoolies.
tuesday morning i picked up Sam, who is organizing the Documentary, and his wife Reachel from the airport and now we are working out all the lagistics for next week. Pritty exciting though, im really looking forward to next week.

Sam and his Wife live in Las Vegas and work with a ministry called XXXChurch, you can check it out at www.xxxchurch.com its a really cool ministry that focus' on the porn community as a mission field going into Porn expo's and handing out bible's and evangelising. Check it out!

while we are at schoolies we are working with a group called Red Frogs, the same crew i went on tour up to cairns with last year. During the week we'll have film crews following the red frogs as they hang out with the youth and offer guidence to the many hurting teens and minister to them as they enjoy the week. then we will have a crew following the emergancy unit around and watching what there week looks like. And thirdly we will have a crew following a group of students as they go about there week.

its going to be a heap of work this week. our shifts are going to be somthing like 6pm-6am for the week, and day time is going to be spent sleeping and preparing for the next night. please keep us all in prayer for energy, protection and creativity and that most of all God will be made known and Glorified this week and that this production will stir people's hearts, making God known.

alright do it..


Hey everyone. so this last week was Prayer week it went really well i ended up playing worship a few times and during the week students were getting into the prayer! its always cool to see the students of the schools getting into the prayer and going after God. its very encouraging to see them get humbled by God and lay their lives down.

over the last few weeks, and more so, the last few days ive really been seeking God on what my focus should be for this next year and season. im wanting to be more influencial in the community and be more involved in the ministry of Reconcilation (2 Corinthians 5) AkA evangelical living, ive also been seeking God in what way he wants this Media ministry to move. so in light of that ive spoken with my leaders here and have decided to apply for a 3 month "School of digital Film" in Kona Hawiia at the YWAM (University of the Nations) base. since ive never had Proper training in film, ive really been challenged to get some if im going to take this seriously. i really want to do this with all my heart (Colossians 3:23). The School will start in April and end in june. After completing the course ill be heading back to Australia to keep on the work that im doing here and firmly establish the Ministy here, still shooting to have the ministry set up for more to come by mid next year!

November 4

Hey everyone. so this week is 24/5 prayer week in the DTS. last night my roomate Cam and i lead worship and i was asked to speak. the word that i shared was on Romans 12. (being a living sacrifice). God placed on my heart a message of repentance for all of us. God was challenging me to live more after His Heart and will, and share that with the school. after the message we had a time of prayer where we got into groups and prayed over each other and saught out what God had to share with us specificly in areas where we can begin to submit to God! it was good to see that several students that i knew were struggling with repsecting authority, and creating division with the other students were convicted by the Holy Spirit and broke down on there knees asking God to forgive and thanking him for bringing them back to Him!

this last weekend i had a friend from the Gold coast come and stay with me and do some local skate ministry stuff. we also had a friend from Sydney come up and speak at a local school.Then on friday night we helped run a youth event where some of our boys that we sponcer come out and skated and hung out with with the kids and shared the gospel.
