Church Activities
Since the beginning of the year there have been quite a few Church activities to be involved in. First of all there was carol singing in January (slightly odd feeling, but due to the fact that many people here celebrate Orthodox Christmas on 7th January!). Secondly, I have been helping this year with the Church's Children's club on Saturday mornings. For a week at the end of January and a week in the middle of February there was a Bible school for pastors and preachers from Romanian speaking churches in the villages around Balti. Finally, from February 19th to 23rd, the Church celebrated it's 20th anniversary with five days of special services. There were guest speakers and choirs plus photos and testimonies from people involved in the Church over the 20 year period. Some photos in chronological order:
Images of Leadership Conference
Our main activity with the students at the start of this new semester has been to go through the images of leadership material by Richard Lamb. This is a course which presents different aspects of being a Christian leader using Biblical images for example the first lesson we covered was entitled 'Leader as Visionary' and was based on how David led the Israelite people, having a clear vision of what needed to be done. We meet each Monday evening at 17.00 with a group of 7 or 8 students to go through the studies and hopefully gain ideas and inspiration for how to serve other students here in Balti.
