do the junktion

As you can see, Elijah (one of our local church interns) had the floor in Junktion this week.  He is one of a group of five interns who come to the YMA office each Friday for discipleship and ministry input.

This has been an encouraging addition to our opportunities over the last few weeks.  With the opening of Junktion, it seems that a hub for community has naturally emerged - with one of the outcomes being the addition of Richard Sharp (Youth For Christ's National Transform Manager) to the use of our office space.  Both Richard and Trav are enjoying being able to coach the interns.

We're also grateful for the opportunity Trav had to be in Sydney for the most recent YMA national team meeting (although he nearly missed his plane on the return trip) ... we're looking forward to rolling out a new vision and strategy in the next few months - particularly with the new chaplains who have come onto team in Sydney.

Trav and Jackson enjoyed Jack's adventure camp with school over the past couple of days. Jackson particularly enjoyed the bouldering wall.

Pix is super-encouraged by the steady flow of customers in the first four weeks Junktion's operation.  We have seen enough turnover for the set-up costs to be covered (with the help of the local council grant), and are now looking forward to seeing how we might be able to use the income generated for national YMA projects and local community engagement.

Small steps of faith are reaping some encouraging stories of God's kingdom emerging in our local suburb, and in the national movement of YMA :)
