MAY 2017 (mini-update)

The last few weeks have been a flurry of activity - and there are some changes afoot - check out the latest, and keep us in your prayers!

STORY PACKS - On the 13th of April, Trav led 270 students and teachers from Portside Christian School through AccessTheStory's StoryPack on the death to life story of Jesus. The next evening (Good Friday), Trav, Pix, Tom, Aleisha and Fred headed down to Goolwa and served the SA Baptist Church Easter Camp with 309 StoryPacks.

      

It was a full couple of days, but the response from those who participated was overwhelmingly positive as they were provided the space to reflect on the Easter story in a fresh way.


"NCOH" Camp - Trav took Nicole with him as they joined the team from "Northern Communities of Hope" at their youth camp on the Murray River - 18-21 April.  This was a rewarding opportunity to walk through God's story with a group of young people from one of the most disadvantaged areas in Adelaide.  You can read more of Trav's thoughts on this camp from his blog.

SEQUEL RETREAT - Last weekend, Trav and Pix enjoyed a little getaway (with 6 other people!)  Trav facilitated some teaching and Pix catered for three young people and their coaches as they rounded off a 3 month journey through God's story.   You can read more of Trav's thoughts on the ATS website.

JUNKTION

So, this is the big prayer point.  We have been formally notified that the landlord is planning to turn the main part of Junktion into a food outlet, and we have been offered a smaller tenancy in the same group of shops.  Currently we are awaiting paperwork, then we have 10 days to decide what to do.

The floorspace being offered will present a significant challenge to continue operating in the same manner, so we need to respond decisively as to whether we stay or find an alternative venue for our future base of operation.  We are having some conversations that could present an exciting alternative, but at this stage it is too early to say.

Please pray specifically for a smooth transition - the next few weeks are going to be significant for the future location for Junktion and the ATS office.  We have some specific dates in mind that will serve us well for whatever change needs to happen - we can't share those yet, but if you could remember to pray for those dates to be met, that would be amazing!
