WAVE Training Day 1
by | Posted on July 31st in Pastors thoughtsThe preparation for WAVE Kids Club began with a bang today. Around 60 odd team members met today at Islington Baptist Church to start prepping for our summer mission event WAVE Kids Club.
- We looked at the Bible (2 Corinthians 2:12:3-6) and saw that ministry is hard work, God leads us in triumph as we preach the gospel, it is a weighty pastime that has consequences for life and death and that our competence for ministry comes from God.
- Each section team had time to think, prepare, plan and pray.
- Jen Shadwick ran some fantastic training sessions that helped us think through how to write kids talks, how to plan for a 21/2 hour integrated program that will teach the gospel each day and taught & demonstrated some games we could use to that end
One punter pulled me aside after the day to let me know it was ‘the best WAVE training day ever!’ Special thanks to James Deaton, Pip Budden, Jen Shadwick and all the section leaders for the hard work they put into the day.

Give thanks:
- For the 80 odd people who have already joined the team. This is a great blessing to have the team up and running so early in the year.
- For the great message of salvation we are able to offer the people of Newcastle becasue of the work that Jesus has done on the cross.
Please pray:
- For the team as they prepare to teach hundreds of kids during the week of WAVE - their maturity in Christ, their godliness as well as their preparation.
- That God would be at work in the lives of the hundreds of kids & parents would come each day. Pray they would come ready to hear the good news of Jesus and put their trust in Him.
- For logistics, finances, administration etc. These things are often obstacles to us preaching the gospel. Pray they would not be and that people with gifts in these areas would step forward.
