This year, our mission to Skipton was my favourite of all our previous years. We had an amazing team of young teenagers from Canterbury, and a few extra helpers on some days. It was so nice to see all our friends from Skipton again, and to make some new ones!!
Our normal program included Bible Stories from John's gospel (each team member had to prepare a story to present), singing, memory verses, morning tea, activities, games and crafts. It was always a packed full program with extra surprises like a lamb visit on one day, and a fire for making damper on another day. We had a lot of fun meeting the children and sharing the gospel with them. Most of the team were doing it for the first time, and I was so proud and impressed by the way they stepped up and took on their responsibilities so well! We all had a wonderful time.
We were able to do many other things during the week to engage in the life of the community and also just have some fun!
