One of the Boys, Ed, from this years course is being baptised on July 28th - participants and staff from this years course will have been notified through the course mailing list - otherwise call someone to get the details of where and when.

The course finished last night with Graduation, a great feeling was in the air last night as we met for the last time to celebrate the things that God had done and pray about the continued growth of the participants.

The course was fantastic with the participants really focused on working on developing an effective team. We are aware of 2 participants who made commitments and praise God for that. The Thursday night was a very significant time for us all as we marvelled afresh that God loves us so much that he would be prepared to die for us.

Final numbers are 20 Stage 1 and 8 Stage 2. For daily email prayer updates, join the mailing list by following the link above.

Staff are Brendan Daly [CD] David Bell [Chap] Walt Tregea [Adj] Matt Fletcher [Stage 1] Joel Hiscox [Stage 1] Chris Marshall [Stage 1] and Andrew Kingsmill [Stage 2].

I pray that during this week, you too will look around and see God at work doing awesome things - because I know that I will.

Well there is not long to go now until LDC begins. We now have 8 for Stage 2 and 14 Stage 1. All the last minute things are getting done and seems to be shaping up as a great camp - God is really bringing together everything in the right place and time - as he always does.

Stage 2 guys should be contacted by the Squad Officer during this week. If you can't guarentee that you can get the Journal returned to Brigade House by the mail on Friday then it is better to bring it to Course with you, than to have to get to Brigade House on Monday. So if in doubt bring it with you.
