Sometimes I tell myself 'Zac, you should blog more often", but than I realize that I'm going to be gone for a total of six months. I reckon that would be a whole lot of blogging about a whole lot of nothing.

This past week has been busy at times and seemingly quite slow at other times. For myself this week has been different because we've had a ministry group called VMTC (Victorious Ministry Through Christ) with us this week. It sounds funny to have a group ministering to another group of believers and essentially missionaries, but it was an awesome week. My responsibilities for the week were mainly kitchen and so that's where I spent a lot of my time. The VMTC group had roughly 25 people so we were cooking for sixty people for lunch and dinner every day. I actually didn't mind being in the kitchen for most of the week but enjoyed having a couple of meals off to just sit around and get some reading done. Wednesday evening was the evening that both Graham and I were being ministered to. The ministry time is a four hour slot in which you're in a room with three other people. One person is interceding for the whole time, one is ministering, and the other is being trained in the ministering. The time of ministry is basically a time where people who are normally pouring out to other people and doing ministry of their own have the opportunity to unload. Burdens from the past that you are still carrying, things from the present that you are struggling with, and whatever else the Lord places on your heart. The ministry is what you make of it. If you aren't completely open with God than you can't expect Him to bring healing into those parts of your life that you aren't willing to share with Him. I won't go into detail about my time of ministry, but God is good and He is faithful. It's encouraging to know that God speaks to His children through brothers and sisters in Christ. Praise the Lord!

Anyhow, moving on to other things. So the day after my last post about hiking to Morialta we did it again, this time in the dark :). I'll admit that I'm slightly afraid of the dark at times, but it was a good time and laughs all around. I could talk about SA being the murder capital of Australia, or how the biggest serial killer is actually from around Adelaide, but I won't. Wait, I just did. Let's just say that stories like that made the walk even more adventurous, not to mention Caitlin falling on her butt every five minutes.

Well, that's about it for today's news. Apparently I'm on the cooking roster for lunch and so I need to see how many people are going to be here and what I'm cooking for them. God bless and I'll talk to some of you soon I suppose. Cheers.
