Our Kids

We are reluctant to share a lot of things about the kids over the blog. If any one is wanting to learn more about what we are doing with them, and how they are progressing, please drop us an email, phone, or send a letter.

We would love people to become more engaged with praying for them as they grow to understand more about God.



This video was shared publicly at the DALE school break up last year and is on their facebook site, so I felt we could share this with you.

Some of our kids are on the video, and Trevon gives his testimony there. This was a big thing for him as he struggles to verbalize very much about different things, and to do this in front of a video camera was huge.  Hope you enjoy.

Three of the kids here have given their hearts to the Lord, and another 2 are wanting to follow God's way, but have not stepped over the final hurdle of commitment. Another is not showing much in the way of wanting to follow God or to trust him.  They all need your prayers.

Please do not think for one moment that we live in a house of perfection.  NO NO NO! It is noisy, very noisy!  We are crowed into a very small house,
ex-housing commission, so not a lot of room. Our bathroom has the shower and toilet in one room. You can imagine the knocking on doors during peak hour.. (before and after school) with 9 people living in the house.

Hair brushes get lost all the time; deodorant goes missing; clothes being worn by another person without permission ( mainly socks because their own are not washed); washing machine is always full or working,  clothes line always full.

Sounds bad!  Not really. They do work together well, and we have very few arguments. They are a real credit to themselves.

AFL takes up a lot of our time. Trevon and Nelita are looking at this for a career option. They are brother and sister. Both have a natural talent for the game.

Glenys grew up in an AFL mad home, and decided when she had her own family, it would not involve AFL. She dodged the bullet with her own children, and now is taking kids to and fro from games and training!!!!

Trevon

Trevon is now 16. He is really wanting to serve God. He is also interested in writing his own songs.
He is playing in the U17s and coaching the U9s AFL

Nelita is 14. Very active and like all the others, into every sport they can participate in.

Nickarita

Nickarita is 13. She is in the same class as Nelita in school. This is her first time in playing an organized sport. Her ambition is to be a hair dresser or beautician.

Estella

 Estella is 11. She is also a very talented sports person. Here she is playing U14's as they were short that day. Normally she plays U11's

Jayz

Jayz is 18. He was elected school captain for this year. He is playing in the seniors and at this stage, leading goal kicker for the team.

Estelle

Estelle is 20 and studying to get her year 12 certificate. She is the only one who does not play AFL, but has joined a Karate class. She is loving this. Estelle is a committed Christian young lady, and has a strong influence on the other kids in the house.



Please pray for these kids as they struggle living here in NSW. They miss their family, they are struggling with language here, school is often hard.

They are blossoming and we trust they will be strong Christians when they go home to their communities and will have a strong influence there for God.

We believe this is a very important part of our ministry and a real privilege to be involved in such a rewarding work
