1. School RE: The school wants Lyndy to run RE for the Tuesday morning assemblies.
3. Rev gets Tuberculosis: Rev Carol Robertson has been diagnosed with a small area of tuberculosis in her lungs. This means two weeks in Katherine hospital.
4. Adult Baptism/Confirmation: Pray for Marjorie Hall, preparing a number of women by teaching the foundations of the faith.
5.Ministry to men: Men continue to show interest in
Christianity but are not currently effectively being discipled. They shy away from reading the Bible and don't readily join in discussions.
6. Roderick: His enthusiasm continues (despite troubles at home). Peter and Roderick have read the Bible, prayed, had brekky and worked on manual jobs around church together.
7. The Government Intervention: This has enabled better consultation with locals about the future of Ngukurr through us having a locally placed government business manager. We will be getting a new shop and a new aged care centre (with early childhood) in Ngukurr this year! We are also promised a many new houses. There will be a lot of building and outsiders here this year.
8. Reducing Smoking: 85% of Ngukurr adults smoke, causing/compounding numerous health problems. James Cook Uni is seeking to address this. Most church members smoke and many are wanting to give up.
9. Aaron: School of the Air is going well. Aaron was enjoying the pool with the kids in the afternoons but his dishydrotic eczema has flared up recently and prevented most outside play.
