Isn't it a blessing when new classes at church need to be created! That is just what we have begun at Discover Church. It seems our children's ministry is growing leaps and bounds!! We are ever so thankful for these young children choosing to visit Bible class.

For quite some time, we had been able to work with two separate children's classes, a birth-2 class and a 3 and up class. We have just begun a "tweens" class. This is to meet the need of our 6 and up age group. I can see a need for a future fourth class meeting the 2-3 age group, but we are limited on rooms and teachers at this point!

At this stage, Elijah and our intern, Cody, have taken over the teaching of this new class. The current lesson series is to introduce these kids to the Bible. They are on a mission to see what all the Bible teaches and to begin to learn who God is! As part of the curriculum, the kids are to do a daily Bible reading. I believe the goal for those who complete the mission is a pizza party!

It has begun.

Watching things unfold and mold into it's final stages was really cool. Two artist located in South Auckland came and made a visit to the Ice Box to do a promo for our graffiti art workshop. Janine and her husband Charles spent two hours of their time painting the title "the Ice Box" on a 4' x 8' sheet of wood to gain a crowd of students that would be interested in the upcoming workshop.
Hopefully starting in September we will have a room dedicated at the Community House during the Ice Box hours for 15 students to come and learn the skills of graffiti art.

Where did it go????

Just wanted to take a minute to update you on our latest "news". We set off for a nice family lunch at the great Wendy's restaurant! (This is one of our favs here!! One of the only places you get an American sized coke!!) Anyway, I only wish I was writing to give you an update on places to eat in Auckland. :) After our almost 30 minute lunch, we ventured outside to notice that our car was NOT there. Yup...Justin and I looked at each other and thought maybe we had forgotten where we parked the car, not that the parking lot is that big! Needless to say someone else decided they needed our car more than we did!

Greetings Brothers and Sisters in Christ!

It is a joy to share with you all the different ways God has been blessing the work in Sibiu, Romania. We are all very grateful for the prayers, letters of encouragement, care packages, and support you have extended to my family and the ongoing work that is taking place. Here is an overview of what took place in 2009 and what has transpired so far in 2010:

APRIL 2009
We worked on sound proofing several of our portable cubicle walls.

Hosted Ryan Bungee for several weeks as he considered coming to work with us here in Sibiu. It was a joy working with him and I appreciated his help. Ryan decided to join classmates he went to school with at Sunset who are preparing to go to another mission field. We wish him all the best.

Short trip to the states to attend Grandfather's funeral.

Preached my first funeral in Romania. Longtime member Violetta Fekete passed from this life leaving a legacy of service. I am thankful for the opportunity to have known her and be apart of her life.

Dear Brothers & Sisters in Christ,

 

We want to thank everyone for their prayers as we traveled back to Romania.  To hear more about our journey visit my wife's blog at www.skeltonfamilyadventures.blogspot.com

 

The adjustment of setting our internal clocks forward eight hours to Romania time is almost complete.  We are back in the full swing of things once more. 

 

One of the reasons for this update is to share with you how God is blessing the work in Sibiu.  We have emphasized the importance of the members getting involved in the Lord's work.  This has become evident during our absence when we were in the states.  Ana Maria was baptized into Christ on Sunday, February 15th.  This Junior university student has been in our thoughts and prayers for some time now.  Please pray for her as she continues to grow in the knowledge and grace of our Lord.  Pray that her faith be strengthened and that the Church can be a source of encouragement as she begins her walk with the Lord.  In addition to the baptism the members have been doing some visitation, planning an upcoming lock-in, as well as continuing to meet for worship.

Hey everybody, I was at Sunset last Thursday to visit one of the AIMer's that was in my Youth group.  Man it was a great encouragement.  I left home early, about 5:30 am so that I could go to chapel.  I find it very ironic that I used to gripe about having to go to chapel every morning when I was a student, but now it is one of the things that I miss the most.  Well, I got to sit down and talk with Charles Speer.  We had a great conversation.  We talked about my ministry here in Lovington, the school and our good friends in New Zealand.  I need to give a shout out to my buds Justin, Jen, Rylee and little Justin (any day now), Lij and Kristen and Skylar and Morgan, you guys are inspirations to us all.  Oh yea, I can"t forget Jonathan.  Hey bigguy.

As Charles and I were talking he encouraged me to write this blog about our ministry here.
