'Who am I?' & 'The Bible and Mission'

We now know who we are! (Or at least that was the aim of week 1's lectures!)  We've completed the first module 'Who am I?'  This included doing the Myers Briggs personality test.  It was quite revealing and scarily accurate at working out our strengths and weaknesses, but I suppose it's important to be aware of these, so that we can be as effective as possible in our future ventures. We were also hugely encouraged looking at our identity in Christ from a variety of Bible studies. Now we're coming to the end of our second module, which is all about what the Bible says about mission and how the four Gospels portray Jesus' model of mission.  Aside from the studies Claire and I have been dusting off our instruments and playing in the worship, which has been enjoyable. We've just been out enjoying the sunshine and playing football with a few of the other students... Claire obviously played brilliantly, but unfortunately I came away with a bruised big toe (...nothing to do with her though)!

Thanks for your update guys. Will certainly be praying for you. Nightbridge (teens housegroup on Sun night) is getting quite mission orientated and I'm sure would love to hear about what you will be doing and to hear your faith stories if you have any time to join us before you head off to Africa.
God bless, Julie
