Pain @ paintball

I've just arrived home from a morning of paintballing fun.

Team 1 (my team ;-) totally annihilated team 2 (Jason's team ;-) in the first half, and both teams drew in the second half. Goodtimes were had by all... goodwelts were had by most. It appears Jeremy Pyle is immune to pain, and Reece Coutts won the 'best welt' award (last pic), a free ginger beer for him at Flame.

Voice Dance Company coming to Flame!

Refined arts and culture are coming to Flame (miracles do happen)!

On Friday 5th December, Voice Dance Company will be performing their 75 minute 'Why Me' production at Flame Youthchurch.

Check out the clip below, and make it happen! (An offering will be received for their expenses on the night.)

Mo-bros go paintballing!

I can't get a clear shot... he's using his mo as a shield!

This Saturday (22nd), as part of Movember, we (us guys with facial hair) are going paintballing.

We are leaving from CRF @ 9am sharp.
Cost is $30 plus extra $$ for surplus ammo ($5 of the $30 donated to Men’s Health).
You must give me your name if you want to play.

I have about 12 guys confirmed already, so there are about 6 more places available... Please contact me ASAP if you are keen!

Mo-bros @ playcentre!

Today, a few of us mo-bros spent the morning 'preaching the gospel without words' at Parklands Playcentre in Kamo.

What an awesome morning! We were entertained by the 'Goodtimes' band (photo 3), Lozza Langridge 'the biggest mo in Whangarei' made a surprise visit (photo 4), and 2 lovely mo-gals brought home baking for smoko!

Thanks heaps to eveyone who assisted in some way... especially Jason van der Hulst (site manager) for running the show, Brian Davis (legendary builder guy) and Rosvalls for the free stuff, and Paul Gosling (tree-felling dude) for giving us the mulch.

We are already planning more PTGWW community projects next so stay tuned, and get keen!

Post a caption, win a collectable RYM tee!

Create your own caption for this bizarre photo, make it a comment on this post, and be into win a genuine RYM Tee. There will be no more runs of the present RYM design, so it will be collectable!

The competiton will run for a month and you can make as many comments as you like (No dodgy captions please ;-)

This is last RYM comp for 2008, so get those comments flowing in. Don't hold back!

Mo-bros with gardening tools!

This Saturday all the Mo-bros (and any Mo-gals) will be preaching the gospel without words at Parklands Playcentre.

Meet at 26 Tait Street, Kamo (off McMillian Ave) at 8am. Will be finishing up at 1pm.

Please give your name to Jason van der Hulst ASAP and BYO gardening tools and play-lunch. Drinks will be provided.

Latest study added: The Porn Identity

This is the accompanying study for the recent guy's event 'The Porn Identity'.

Please note: due to the content, reader discression is advised, and is recommended for those 14 years of age and over.

The Porn Identity

Also, as porn addiction is now not just a 'guy problem' anymore, I will address the subject in a more generic manner next year at Flame.

Below is the link to the video we also watched. (Shelley Lubben, ex-porn star, now preacher)

Shelley Lubben Tells The Truth About Porn

The Porn Identity

I've had on my heart for quite sometime to address the rapidly escelating (and soul destroying) problem of pornography.

So, as part of Movember (promoting men's health and all), I am running 'The Porn Identity', this Saturday night from 7pm at CRF (cost is $5, resources and food will be provided).

If you are a guy, 14 years old or older, YOU NEED TO BE THERE!

(It won't be boring ;-)

Burton is now Seamless

I was keen on DeLorean, Rachel Kate was really hoping it would be Flannelgraph, others (who resist change) wanted it to stay Burton... but the votes say it all!

Flannelgraph: 16%

Burton: 20%

DeLorean: 25%

Seamless: 37%

The band formerly known as Burton is now 'Seamless'. For those of you who are wondering where the name came from...

When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they divided his clothes among the four of them. They also took his robe, but it was seamless, woven in one piece from the top. John 19:21 (NLT)

Weston Carryer This Friday

This Friday, instead of the usual Flame youthchurch, we are having a special healing service (for all ages) with evangelist Weston Carryer.

The Bible says that signs and wonder will follow those who believe, so come along, and if you know any sick people (that's 'sick' in the traditional meaning), bring them along!

7pm at Christian Renewal Fellowship.

Toe jam at Neen's POD

Among other things Neen's POD has been doing lately (like reading Christine Caine's latest book), they had 'Foot Wars' recently. (Seriously, Neen, what will you think of next?!)

Post of the week: Week 45

There haven't been many posts happening from the RYM bloggers lately. Fortunately Neen has saved the day with her post 'Rug Doctor'.

Read it here.

(Neen, are you getting sick of Bundabergs yet? ;-)
