Fashion Show Pix

As promised, here are the best photos from last Fridays fashion show. I'm looking forward to the next one!

Girls get violent

normal everyday gals

apocalypse women from nam

Last weekend a few of the gals from Rach's and Ana's PODs got together for some real POD group fun. Lasermaze is heaps of fun (even though games only last 15mins and cost an arm and a leg) and the girls had an awesome time. For more pics click here.

I hear they are considering paintball next! Now that's what I'm talking about. Girls... tea party or paintball?

I'd love to read your comments ;-)

Flame rocked again!

Last night was a historical Flame service. For the first time in 10 years we had a fashion show, and it absolutely rocked! A huge thanks to talented Kate and the models for putting on such an entertaining show! More photos will be added next week, but in the meantime you can admire the model above (his shirt that is).

Rod Harris (Principal of CRS) spoke an incredible message and he and Karen (his wife) personally ministered to the young people for well over an hour after the service finished.

Thank you so much Mr. Harris! Your love and passion for this generation of young people is genuinely seen, felt and appreciated by all of us. A RYM hoodie is coming your way soon!

Close encounters of the God kind

Next Saturday (30th August), Gary Mawson will be hosting a God encounter day from 10am till 4pm at CRF. For more enquiries please see Gary.

Another world is possible!

Why do Christian ministers fall?

In light of recent sad news I thought it was important to post a link to an incredible article entitled 'Why do Christian Ministers fall'. It is all too easy to condemn and pull down. Hope the article provides some answers to the questions people are asking right now.

God bless

From the archives: The Bouchers

These pics were taken almost a decade ago. Les Boucher and Jacqueline Kenyon.

Love was definately in the air for these two!

Pancakes @ Neen's POD!

Just recieved some pics from Nina. Her POD had a pancake-making-night last night (definately beats the tea party I reckon;-).

Way to go Neen... You should make us some pancakes for Essence next week! (Just don't start a fire.)

Latest Study Added: The Race

It's Olympic mania at the moment, and what better time than now to read a study about the Christian life and how it compares to 'The Race"?

Nana Nina and Aunty Kate's Tea Party

Nina and Kate recently had a tea party with their POD.

I could think of at least a million other things I would rather do as a POD event, but then again, I'm a guy and like tanks... not a girl who enjoys girly things.

Anyway, it looks like the the girls had a great time! Check out the pics below.

Want to talk? This is the place!

Ok renewalyouth folk...

It seems like a few of you have been using the comments feature on various posts to communicate about nothing inparticular at all.

Suzy's rep @ Flame

We were priviledged to have Suzy's representative suddenly appear out of the blue at Flame last Friday. Wow is all I can say. To Miss. 'Suzy's Rep', we all want to say...

You absolutely rock!

I still don't know who Suzy is. Nina's guess was apparently the closest, so Nina... the $10 voucher is coming your way soon!
