This week has been a full one for the Strath women's team! We had a
fantastic experience on Monday night with a worship time including both
Strath teams, the Aitchisons and Sonja 4 different Cornerstone groups [or
their representatives!] how exciting!! It was a beautiful time.

Our house has been pretty busy this week, Mandie going to Dubbo and back,
plus meetings and visitors galore!

Things that we are praising God for this week:
-------------------------------------------------
+Mandie is going well in her studies, only a few assignments left!
+Discussions with Mandie & Li Yean's boss Jane have been going well [she
expressed interest in reading Mere Christianity last week].
+That friendships build in town last year are continuing now.
+We were given a coffee table [made out of real wood, not Tab's cardboard
boxes!].
+The Team has been invited to regularly attend the Combined Churches
Council meetings.
+ The churches are understanding that we have a different ethos and
strategies.
+Discussions with Kay [the primary school chaplain] went well.
+Rachel has picked up some casual shifts at the Childcare centre again.
+Tab is beginning to build relationships at work.
+Our Sonic Fudge [joint youth group venture with Stephenson Team] planning
meeting went well.

Things that we're remembering in prayer this week:
-----------------------------------------------------
+Courage for Mandie to attend dance classes again this year.
+For Mandie to continue to push ahead and complete her studies.
+That Rachel will be wise & discerning in making decisions about work.
+That Rachel will continue to learn from her studies
+Rachel would like to get into the primary school [for mission, not as a
student!]
+Rachel's health-for it to improve.
+Our first Sonic Fudge is Wednesday 15th Feb.
+Our Housewarming Party is this Saturday 11th Feb.
+Please pray for Jane [Mandie & Li Yean's boss] as she reads, that she'll
see the truth.
+we're looking for a way to get into the Eastern Fleurieu High School, and
continue relationships built last year with this year's year 7 girls.
+That Tab will not get weary in her 2nd week of full time work. [It is
part time after the 16th...yay!]

Thanx for your prayers and encouragement! We appreciate you all immensely.
