You may remember that we have a small group which is made up from young people from last summer’s evangelistic English camp. Here is the latest about our progress.

Out of the 14 students who attended the camp, we still have regular contact with 7. We have added about 5 others to our group. I am discipling one weekly, but we have completely lost 2 who were regulars over this period of time.

From our perspective this feels both positive and negative. Our dream looked much bigger after one year, but we work with what we have in our hands.

Each Thursday, we meet from 5:30 to around 8:30pm. We eat dinner together and then spend time around God’s Word. We have worked through two series’ of material. The first was a 10 week study of basic Bible themes and the other was another 10 week series called “Starting Point”. It is a study for new believers built around the story of God from creation to Eternity.

It has been an up and down journey for sure. One week I am extremely excited about the groups growth and maturity and the next week I couldn’t be more depressed.

But overall, I am grateful that God has kept our new family intact. And our vision is to split our group into at least 3 parts in the Fall in an effort to make space for more of our friends.

Could you please pray for:

1. God to generate his life in the group and attract other to that life.

2. That His Spirit would convince each member of their need for God and His truth.

3. For our plan to divide the group in the Fall – that it will be fruitful and an exciting time of growth.
