Journey to Emmaus

What a great opportunity this morning to speak to students in our community. Students from St Martins de Porres, Stella Maris, Christ the King, St Bernadettes and St Theresa's got together this morning for their annual "Journey to Emmaus". This is an opportunity for them to think about being Jesus to their neighbours. It's a time where they focus on the story of the Journey to Emmaus (Luke 24) and consider the good news of Jesus' resurrection and how he appears to us on our journeys.

Today I (Brad) was asked to come and speak to the group about my overseas work, with a focus on how students can show Jesus' care to their world. What an amazing opportunity. I pray that the influence we can have on young people in these situations, and in our own children's ministry, is such that they grow as strong disciples of Jesus Christ.
