Schoolies 2013

Schoolies is an event in Australia where all grade 12 graduates go to the beach and just throw a massive party. It's totally accepted by the country and has become almost the norm, so to speak. The students have to register when they arrive and they receive a badge of identification. Since the drinking age is 18 here, the kids purchase and drink lots of alcohol out of celebration. It's craziness.

So what are we doing? 

YWAM Brisbane and YWAM Whitsundays have teamed up to create an awesome event for these students. Tomorrow we will be setting up a massive tent and running a chai tea and coffee cafe out of the tent. Our goal is to bring kids in, serve them in a safe environment, and create amazing conversation. We are creating a mood of relaxation and openess. We're gonna have live music throughout the nights and people at the tables, creating conversations. We are going to be open about our faith and hopefully be able to speak truth into the kid's lives and lead them back to God. I'm so excited about what God is gonna do this week. He's so good and he's always doing amazing things! 

What to pray for?

-Safety of all of the students 

-Open hearts and minds in the tent

-The Spirit's presence would overflow the tent

-Endurance and strength for our teams

Thank you guys so much! I hope you guys can join me in prayer for these kids. God wants to tear some walls down and get into their hearts!
