Wow, Slum Survivor!

Was an amazing time!
I'm not sure words are going to do it justice but here we go...
We spent a weekend living in a slum. We built it and lived in it for 2 days. Yes it was hard, cold, wet, hungry, tiring, the rest... but we sought God's heart for the last, the least and the lost of this world. We follow and worship a God who loves everyone he made and his heart breaks for their poverty, therefore if we really love Jesus, we cannot be indifferent to the plight of the poor. We havent changed the world, but we have glimpsed God's heart and stood beside our brothers and sisters in the slums of the world. We have been raising money and awareness of their plight. Our total currently stands at £780 and is rising steadily.
Its not too late to donate...

Ok ok ok ok, i be rubbish!

Yeah yeah yeah, i havent updated for ages and ages! Well, Kathryn and I are happily settled into our new flat, its still nice! We (st Andrews) took 23 to Soul Survivor, that was great, it had its ups and downs but we survived and God spoke to us. As a result i will be sleeping in a slum for the whole of next weekend... hmmm! We will be raising money for Soul Action and you can sponsor us here. We will be simulating slum life, through eating a limited diet, and facing challenges like the slum dwellers would face, we will build and sleep in our slums.
Other than that, things are plodding along nicely, we are running a non-halloween spud party at church, going to Youthquake, having a youth alpha away day, a couple of bowling trips, a formal dinner, a grill the panel, and several other things and then before we know it it will be christmas, that's a little scary!
Well, i think that is it really, please keep praying for me, things are busy and i use that as an escape... but pray i can find the time to hear His voice.
