World Youth Day...



Well a team of 6 of us (5 left from Perth and 1 in Syd) served in the WYD08 in Sydney last week. 100's of thousands of young people from around the globe met together over the course of a week to worship Jesus. We were part of a volunteer group with other y.wamer's to serve the event. It was great to meet other young people from around aussie too and get to work with them, lots of fun.

Here's me all with the kit on the Sat night.. very official. (I wasen't even suposed to be on marshalling but we ended up helping cuz they didnt need any more caterer's. and i didnt need the walkie talkie either but.. it was fun)




I also had a good time meeting and encouraging young Catholics. The theme of the event is Acts1:8...

"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."

I really felt like this came across really strongly over the week, God was present and moving. The Pope spoke very well on this subject too, emphasising the importance of the Holy Spirit in eva.ngelism.

Here's me and the Pope hanging out



(it's a cardboard cut-out.. looks pretty real though a?)

Me and Lawrence hanging out outside the Opera House.. beautiful area.




Overall, a great time.. Go.d's amazing.




Well that's all from me, bless you..
