Getting Lucky on Outreach
We just sent our April Discipleship Training School on outreach into North Queensland in the new Oka. They will be gone for about 10-weeks and regularly updating stories in the news section of the Reef to Outback web-site. They have been doing a lot of preparation since the beginning of the school and there is already some very exciting stories about the outreach team.Something that I don't think that they are doing, but that they might want to consider doing, is wearing a name tag (not like the Mormon's, but a simple written name tag) ...
Don't believe me? Well watch this video about Scott Ginsberg, who some people consider to be one of the luckiest people on earth:
So what do you think now?
Wearing a name tag could be a fantastic opportunity to start conversations and get to meet people on outreach. I don't think that I would advocate tattooing your name on your chest, but a name tag on you shirt could be a great way to open up more opportunities to share the gospel.

GENESIS Link with YWAM Kona
Right now we are in the middle of a GENESIS (Video Conferencing) connection with YWAM Kona as part of the YWAM School of Design that we are running here at Reef to Outback. Using this technology we are able to bring in Kenny Jackson, who is the Dean of the College of Communications for the University of the Nations.
GENESIS is a great tool for us to bring in some of our international speakers, without having to fly them out for an entire week. There is actually a great discussion going on over at www.ywamit.com right now about GENESIS in the mission.Being in Australia it's a great tool for us as flights into Australia is actually quite expensive, so this technology opens up so many new opportunities and speakers to us.
(sorry about the quality of the photos, I only have my web-cam in the classroom right now)

What to Include in a Missionary Care Package
Missionary-Blogs.com is currently running a writing project about what to include in a missionary care package. The rules of the writing project is as follows:Write about what you'd love to get in a care package, but explain why (so I know what is country-specific). You could also talk about packaging, ways to ship, what not to send, etc if that's an issue. Think big, small, unusual and creative. Think ministry-related, personal enjoyment or family encouragement.Well, here are a few things that I consider to be good for a missionary care package, at least for us...
What to include in a letter:
- Koolaid Packet (it fits into most envelopes)
- I used to enjoy getting these when I first started over here, when I was single and had no kids...
- Hot Chocolate Packet
- Tea Bags
- Coffee Bag / Packet
- Money
What to include in a mid-sized package:
- Favourite Television Series DVDs
- For us right now it would be Corner Gas Season 4 and The Office (American Version) Season 3
- Kraft Dinner (but not for Australia as Customs will take it)
- Beef Jerky (same goes as the Kraft Dinner for Australia)
- Sun-Flower Seeds (Spitz)
- Chocolate
- Kid's Clothes (obviously only for families)
- Books & Magazines
- Music CDs
- Coffee (Tim Horton's is definitely our favourite)
- Vitamins and Medicines (Bulk from Costco)
- Adult Clothing
- Laptop / Computer
- Stuffed Moose / Bear Head (for Caleb's Canadian Themed Bedroom)
- Kid's Toys
- Kid's Board Books and Audio Books
- Ice Hockey Sticks & Street Hockey Balls
- Calgary Flames Jersey
