Day 8 on Mission in Port Hedland

Today is our last full day in Port Hedland. We arrived a only a week ago, but it feels a lot longer than that. So much has happened. As I wake up this morning I'm excited about they day ahead, but feel sad knowing it's my last full day in town. Despite the ridiculously hot weather, there is just something about this place. The people seem much more open to the Gospel than in Melbourne.

We start today by running the Rainbow Club. This is a program run in the South Hedland Shopping Centre by the church. It's for kids and involves a whole bunch of different activities like making jewelry, playing with playdough, colouring in, making cards, and today... a puppet show! This was really an awesome thing to do. We were able to meet parents, talk to kids and do our puppet presentation in the middle of the shopping centre on a Saturday morning. We had a captive audience of about 50 people as our puppet show and Matt's talk clearly proclaimed everyone's need for Jesus. Man, it was awesome. I wish we could do stuff like that in Westfield back in Doncaster!

The rainbow club went for about 3 hours and after this it was back to Port Hedland Church to watch the Grand Final! Saints v Cats. Unfortunately the Cats were victorious. But we soon forgot about this. Ellisa and I went back to my billets place after this and hung out with them and played the game GREED with them (which was my gift to them for letting me stay with them all week). This was good fun. We then had dinner together and headed back to the Church for the Quiz Night. Unfortunately, the night only had 3 teams, but all there had fun, and there were a couple of non-Christians who got to here Ellisa give an awesome testimony about how Jesus is her Lord and Saviour. A second awesome thing about the quiz night was our table won! Woo hoo!

Things to pray for:
  • For the Rainbow club and that it would be able to continue and preach the Gospel clearly
  • For the volunteers who run it
  • For the people who heard our talk in the shopping centre, that they would be convicted of their need for God and turn to Him
  • For the non-Christians at the quiz night, that Ellisa's testimony will make them think about who is in control of their life and what it might look like if Jesus were
