Give yourself... be transformed!

We are off to the UK for our annual Leaders event – Lynn, Joanna & Carolyn will be in Greece whilst the David’s, Jamie & Rachel head to the UK.

So here are 2 important commercials for you to read!

If they don’t apply to you directly please see if you can help us by passing on the information to others.

PRAXIS - ΠΡΑΞΙΣ

Praxis is the Greek name of the Acts of the Apostles.

In September 2006 we plan to start PRAXIS - Christian training programme. It will be a mixture of life learning, Outreach, Discipleship training and Bible school. We are expecting a group of 6-8 people to join us for a season of Action / Praxis. We are looking for people from the nations to come and be a part of reaching this nation with the Good News of Christ.

So we invite applicants to come to Greece for 3-12 months and be a part of our team.. We will have a weekly programme of learning that will involve learning through involvement. Each person will be taught, study and discuss themes relevant to the developing church today. There will be times for prayer, worship and outreach.

Each applicant will be required to pay some living costs and assist in practical work. This requires a willingness to give your self fully. You will also need to have-a-go at picking up some basic Greek.

This is a great opportunity – please pray & consider this, pass the information on to whoever you feel it may be good for…

This is Jamie & Rachel -

They will lead our young people’s summer camp in Halkidiki. The camp will take place in the last two weeks of July and will be a mixture of spiritual and physical challenge! We are looking for people’s lives to be changed and for us all to move on in God.

We want to see His Kingdom come! This year we believe for the lives of people around us to be touched and changed as well.

It is our desire to have a core group of 15-20 young people for this event, people who are open to change, want to play an active part in our team and who are willing to be used by God.

The camp will take place from 17th – 30th July and will cost approximately 300 euros.

For more details contact Jamie and Rachel on jbarnes@otenet.gr

Look forward to hearing from you.

Top Gear!

An elderly friend recently bought a new car and took it on a 200km trip which included some motorway driving. She later confessed to me that she still hadn’t got the car into 5th Gear!

Sunday at the Park Hotel, Thessaloniki, I, DW, spoke about shifting up a gear and how I believe there are 3 key elements to allowing the Lord to release our stress levels and yet increase our spiritual effectiveness.

1. Crucify the flesh – Jesus crucified his – we crucify ours – daily
2. Embrace the cross – Jesus Did – likewise we are to be crucified with him so that Christ lives in us…Gal 2:20
3. Allow the power that raised Christ from the dead to be at work in our mortal bodies. Romans 8:11

As chosen people we live in a different way – we are to live as Jesus lived….as a spiritual man, and then just like Jesus, we can ask the Father for anything. We be must like Jesus.

A Greek friend joined us last night to lead the worship with Rachel & David. The presence of the Lord was rich and I saw a river flowing from the Lord. This river would flow in the region and we could join the flow by embracing the points above - interestingly, this morning there is torrential rain in Thessaloniki and a river is flowing down our street!

This week...

• Tuesday is a day of prayer & fasting
• Dave & Lynn will travel to Bulgaria to join the church in Sofia for a leaders forum.
