WSM Kenya held a Christian conference on October 29th at NPC Buruburu. William Kinuthia reported, “We thank God that over 200 delegates attended both morning and afternoon sessions today in our first Christian conference in the country. Though we expected 4oo delegates the weather was very wet which is unusual in Kenya. Several people gave their life’s to the Lord and we give glory to Him.
Speakers were Rev Calisto Odede, Walter Machiyo, William Kariuki, Godfrey
Masolo, Ken Ndula and Dr Steve. WSM was well represented. The Holy Spirit
moved so much and we thank God for that.”
In October a couple of the Bristol team took a very full car to the Easter Compton car boot sale. We managed to raise an amazing £108 for WSM Bristol. It was a fun experience and despite the windy weather we were pleasantly surprised at how well our items sold.
Then in November we took another loaded car on a Saturday to the Bristol Fruit Market. We raised a staggering £97. We also came home triumphant with a Samba goal which will come in handy at our GET Sported camps. We managed to haggle it down to £25 from £40, it even has a rugby attachment!
We are grateful for the support we have had from family and friends and it is with huge thanks to our generous providers who donated everything we sold. We are planning to carry over items to our next car boot sale in January and would be keen to hear from you if you have anything that you would like to part company with. Praise God for an amazing experience and lessons learned.
Do you have a passion for building relationships with children and sharing the nature of Jesus with them? If so then we’d like to hear from you! We are looking for volunteers to lead/assist with our children’s small groups on GET Sported – you’ll spend the days having lots of fun, discussing the daily character quality with the children and encouraging them in their sports and activities. Do let us know if you’re a qualified coach or able to put on workshops such as Dance, Drama, Art, Music, Skating etc!!
Netball Night yesterday was the best yet!! The autumn’s changes created a brilliant atmosphere and went down a storm: new venue (indoors), new players (including men!), new pub (upmarket!). Congrats to the Green Team who were victorious at the end of the evening and well done Bel Coates for her Player of the Tournament medal! Come join in the fun next month: Oct 10th
WSM Bath hosted their first ‘Kick Off’ 5 a-side football tournament after the summer break last Monday. A total of 4 teams including many new and some familiar faces competed in a league format for September’s medals and player of the tournament award. During a well earned break, Richie Newman of WSM Bath shared his ‘milk bottle’ testimony to reach out to those attending, many who were truly challenged and inspired. To finish, a 3rd/4th place play-off and final were played out with the final going down to the wire and being decided on penalties. Player of the tournament was awarded to Steve Forrester who fully deserved the accolade for his performances and for scoring the decisive penalty in the final. With the next round on Monday, 3rd October, we look forward to seeing even more new faces challenging for October’s honours.
