Our littel African Angel was christened this Sunday, 20 Aug 06 and ... she looked like a little Princess ... sooo gorgeous!

Reach Out : 18-20 August 06

After moving house, I drove up to Katoomba with Kirsten and we met up with Rach, Jules, Bel, Kristan & Jim for the Reach Out weekend where we got to meet some amazing people and hear fantastic speakers who encouraged us and challenged us to think about "Reconciliation" to God which was the theme of the weekend and how we can be involved in God's global plan for world evangelisation!

Here are some of the photos from the weekend ... the international colours of the world are displayed across the auditorium ...




(L-R) Brooke, Rob & Stu were from Pioneers ... we had a great night with them and a few others on the Saturday night at their home for the weekend in Katoomba ... it was a very special evening of sharing in one another's lives ... I don't know the other girl's name I'm afraid and the other guy was my "bus" buddy in a workshop session but his name escapes me now ... he's on his way to South Africa for a 6 month mission so to all my SA friends ... keep a look out for him and his mate "Max"??




Some of the mission organisation's displays ... including African Enterprise by our friend Pete who was "MIA" when I took the photo!!





Here are the girls ... (L-R) Kirsten, Bel, Rach, Jules and Kristan ...



Dr Omar Djoeandy who was one of the main key speakers ... he loves to say that he is "CIA" - Chinese ethnically, born in Indonesia and and Australian since he was 10yrs old. He has studied and worked in Kenya for 12 yrs and is now the Australian Director of SIM. His message on Reconciliation was extremely challenging, very moving and so inspiring!!



Baerbel or "Bel" as she is affectionately known, has been a Christian for just over a year but is on fire for God and is a true encouragement to us all to see how God is working so powerfully in her life!

African Angel ... Update!

My little Niece is growing up so fast ... she's adorable ... and my Dad is having fun with a new camera ... enjoy!
