You may not know it, but NCS is not the only AFES group at Newcastle Uni…
.
Down at the Ourimbah campus there’s another group of students who are seeking to make Jesus known at Uni. They’re known as the Ourimbah Christian Students.
.
To my great excitement; I discovered this morning that they’ve just launched a new website! You can check it out here. I plan to keep checking it regularly to know to pray for them.
.
OCS are partners with us in the gospel. They’re our brothers and sisters in Christ.
Please keep them in your prayers as the new year gets underway.

We need YOU!
NCS relies entirely upon God – in preaching the gospel, in welcoming and following up new students, in maturing in Christ. There is nothing we do which is not completely in the hands of the LORD Almighty (who we call ‘Dad’), and so we need YOU to be praying daily for His help with NCS; that He will work through our efforts to bring many to know Jesus personally.
.
With NCS Big Day Out flying low over the horizon there is much we can joyously petition our Father for:
Pray that many new students will come
Pray for Martin and Greg, who will be speaking on the day
Pray for all of the preparation – food, music, venue, games
Pray for the sun! We want to be beaching it, kicking around, basking and sporting – and for these we need fine weather!
.
So join us in the trenches – devote yourself to prayer because it is GOD who is at work!

Lighthouse Walk
What a great night!! – it was awesome to see so many new faces and heaps of new people come along to check out NCS. Top food from the chefs, awesome weather from God and uber welcoming all round! Almost a shame it has come and gone, but there is more on the horizon to be excited and prayerful about…

Today was a great day! A bunch of us from NCS were on campus today chatting to new students, helping them find their feet, giving them free food and letting them know about the Bible Talks, the Light House Walk and (more importantly) Jesus.
***
We had heaps of students sign up to find out more about NCS and Jesus and stacks of them had no Christian background at all. Praise God!
And this is just day 1!!!
***
Please pray for
- continued energy for us
- continued good weather
- many more chances to speak about Jesus.

Hey guys,
Just wanted to let you know we’re having a ball in India. We love the people and are very encouraged by their love of Jesus and his word.
.
Pete, Krysia and Steve are doing a great job and we’re having fun while working hard with them. Pete and Steve did a great job of giving their lectures. They were nervous but spoke clearly and confidently. We were proud of them. Krysia is doing really well at building relationships with the women. One is taking her and Jen sari shopping tomorrow!
.
Earlier today we finished our first training conference (Ephesians) with about 100 Indian pastors and Christian leaders. It has been encouraging to hear stories of how they have taught other PTC courses to fellow Indians. The main translator from the course will be teaching it later this year in the north of India. And our friend George (his real name is Tarun, but we spent the first 24 hours calling him George by accident – we blame Babel!) is also teaching courses to youth.
.
Please pray for our week ahead. We are tired, battling colds, and still have a lot to prepare. We will be teaching Old Testament in Bangalore.
.
God bless,
Jen & Martin.
