Sorry I haven't updated for the last couple of days, the phone battery died so moblogging wasn't possible. The last two days of Soul Survivor were great my youth group really began to engage with the whole thing. One of them went forward on the last night and according to one of the guys in my group he was "blessed" three times... not quite sure what that entails but it sounds good to me! Coach back yesterday was good but it was a long journey!
The humourous event of the last couple of days was Mike Pilivachi's talk on the last day. He spoke of the beloved disciple and the life he led walking alongside Jesus (incidentally Mike didn't mention the thought that the beloved disciple might be Lazarus or even Mary Magdeline, i get the impression it would have confused the situation and been particularly inconvinient). "At the end of John's life" said mike toward the end of his talk, "John found himself in prison in patmos, and he had this amazing vision, which we have recorded in the last book of the bible." ARHHHH! I think i can probably count on one hand the number of biblical scholars in the world who think revelation is wrote by the author of the forth gospel and what made it worse was that this was an integral part of Mike's talk and all week he'd been going on about the importance of studying the scriptures... nevermind we all make mistakes I guess- I foolishly talked about David's brother Absalom last week before someone gently pointed out he was David's son!
Anyway, irrespective of that little faux pas it was a great week. My youth group loved it and can't wait to go back!
i hope some of the people who came to soul survior this year will say its the best time they have spent with god thats what i think i really think its a great place there when you can meet random people and stay in touch with them it would't be the same without tim hughes there if you agree emial me please xxx siobhan xxx
