Keen to show Jesus’ love to people in our community? Have a heart for teenagers? Interested in a mentoring role?
If your answer is a resounding YES then you’ll definitely be interested in becoming a mentor through RUSH!
RUSH is a mentoring program with a holistic approach to providing support services to young people who have found life difficult, and as a result are at risk of making poor life choices.
The target group for this project is young ‘at risk’ people aged between 12-16 years. These young people need positive lifestyle modelling and the development in relationships, which have normally broken down within their own families.
Mentoring through RUSH provides you with the most incredible opportunity to be a friend, a role model and Christ’s ambassador to a teenager in our community.
On Saturday 2nd April RUSH is running a one-day training session to equip people to become a mentor to a teenager in one of our local high schools.
If you are interested in coming to the training day or would like more information please email Pip Budden (pip.budden@hunterbiblechurch.org) or RSVP via our HBC Social Justice facebook event.
I just received the email below from Kate Wick’s as it’s O-day on Curtin Uni campus. Why don’t you stop and pray for the ministry of Curtin Christian Union now?
Dear friends at HBC,We are very thankful for your very generous gift to us last month. We continue to appreciate your support so much and recognise the degree of generosity you are showing - it’s no small amount that you send our way. Thank you!We would appreciate your prayers as we are trying to work extra hard to fit in the Irumu audio editing now. We have touched it here and there up till now but realise we have to get into it in a big way to get it finished. Makes the days long!! We are thankful for several people who have helped us by editing out the obvious mistakes which leaves us, who know the language to make the finer adjustments. The list of normal jobs doesn’t seem to get any less!
Today Serah (our ni-Vanuatu secretary) and I met together to decide on the programme for a 3 day ladies’ workshop planned for 8th - 11th March. It will be on Tanna island, for wives of local translators from 4 different languages where we have translation projects happening. Please pray for our continued preparations and that those who have to travel across the island to attend will be willing to and be able to find transport to do so.Ray and Glenda Leach have joined us to do Finance and Maintenance. You could pray that they settle in well and that we all work really well together.Thanks for your support in this way too,Sincerely Lyndal
