KindermanFlock Voor jullie gaat misschien alles opnieuw zijn gangetje na de zomervakantie. Een normale routine begint opnieuw. In ons geval zou ik het echter niet normal noemen ondanks dat we weer beginnen met school assemblies, na schoolse clubs en de activiteiten van onze eigen kinderen die weer begonnen zijn. Er zijn geen twee weken hetzelfde en als je in onze calendar kijkt zijn we druk bezig tot en met Kerstmis. Tijdens de zomer werd het meeste tijd doorgebracht met voorbereidingen voor Merseyfest. Toch hadden we tijd om een gebeds tent voor ‘make poverty history’ op te zetten tijdens een actie die we deden in de King’s Lodge. Het school werk kwam tot een einde en we deden enkele circus skills workshop tijdens plaatselijke activiteiten. Robert vond ook de tijd om voor een dag naar Berlijn te vliegen. Zet 15 Juli 2006 maar in je agende voor een 10 uren zang en aanbiddings dienst die daar dan plaats vindt. MERSEYFEST We hadden een team van 27 in Liverpool. Daar zouden we deelnemen aand de verschillenede projecten die waren samengesteld met de hulp van politie, gemeente raden en kerken. Maar eerst hadden we een drie dagen trainings camp in Penketh. Daar hadden we onze Bijbelstudies, zang - en gebeds tijd en leerden we dansen, drama’s en sketches aan. Iedereen was betrokken bij het aanleren of het leren van dansen. Onze Bethany en Caleb waren clowns en Bethany was in een dans. Abigail was in twee dansen. Elisabeth was in een drama. Iedereen leerde ook een lied in gebarentaal. We waren betrokken bij de openingsceremony van Merseyfest en wat begon als een natte, koude, winderige dag werd een droge zonnige tijd terwijl wij ons programma deden op het podium wat een gebeds verhoring was. Toen ons programme afgelopen was begon het opnieuw te gieten. Andere programma’s werden uiteindelijk afgelast. De volgende dag verhuisden we van Penketh naar Liverpool en kampeerdenwenet als duizenden anderen in Croxteth Park. Merseyfest begon. Na het morgen programma (zang en Bibelstudie,…) haalden we ons lunchpakket en gingen naar de bussen. De bus bracht ons naar Penketh waar we onze projecten deden. Die waren verven van railings en clubhuis, tuinieren, een pad aanleggen, spelletjes op een grasveld en straatevangelisatie. Gedurende Merseyfest hadden we mooi weer. De regen kwam terug toen we de autos aan het inladen waren om naar huis te gaan. Het was niet leuk om afscheid te nemen van de anderen, maar enkele zeiden dat ze geinteresseerd waren om met ons en ons team naar Belgie te konen volgend jaar. We zijn heel druk bezig geweest sinds de zomer en het is nog druk tot en met Christmas. Het begon allemaal met een weekend in Belgie waar we het tiener programma deden in de Volle Evangelie Gemeente Mortsel. Het tema was de Heilige Geest voor de volwassenen en dat gebruikten we ook voor het onze. Het was goed om ook tevens tijd door t e brengen met familie en contacten te vernieuwen. We waren in de mooie omgeving van Spa. Caleb en Sam illustreerden eenheid. Het volgende weekend waren we in Harpenden en St. Albns. De zaterdag was een tijd van voorbereidingen voor de dienst op zondag morgen die we verzorgden. De ‘Crown jewels’ een network groep van KK nam ook deel en het was goed om samen te werken. Die zondag zag ons team van 65 deel nemen aan een verenigde morgendienst van 5 Italiaanse kerken. Tijdens het allerheiligen verlof hielpen we een kerk in Stafford met een vakantie club in de morgen. In de na middag waren er creatieve workshops waar we bij hielpen. Die workshops werkten naar een show toe die opgevoerd werd op de zaterdag voor alle ouders. De kerk bezorgde ons niet alleen een enthousiast team om te helpen, een dak over ons hoofd bij gast gezinnen maar ook met voortreffelijke warme maaltijden. . Robert trotseerde het Schotse weer niet daar de Niko die hij zou leiden werd afgelast. Maar wel deed hij een Niko uitdaging voor de DTS studenten van de King’s Lidge. Het was een intressante tijd en een hele uitdaging voor zowel studenten als school leiding. Daar door kwam het dat hij twee dagen miste van Stafford maar de rest van ons waren daar wel. Het voornaamste project dat nu komt opdagen is Zuid Afrika. Daar onze PCYM studenten nog bepaalde dingen moeten doen ze hun diploma kunnen krijgen. Zij hebben onze hulp nodig om dit te doen en ook moeten we hun werk evalueren. De vliegreis komt op £2700 voor ons zesen. We moeten God hierin zien te voorzien. Plus geld voor andere onkosten daar. Zowel Richie en Andy moeten nog al hun geld bijkrijgen. Maar eerst gaan we naar Zwitzerland voor een Kings Kids west Europeese conferentie. Dit is het ideale moment om contacten te leggen met andere Kings Kids verantwoordelijken. Naast Bijbelstudies zal er tijd zijn om te horen wat andere teams doen over Europa. De kinderen zien er naar uit om oude vrienden te ontmoeten. We zijn ook druk bezig om het material voor de ‘Asian Prayer strategy’ te schrijven en de bijdragen van anderen te verzamelen. Dit is een initiatief om mensen over de gehele wereld op te reopen tot gebed voor China en zijn buurlanden. In januari beginnen we met een gebeds groep voor alle leeftijden in de King’s Lodge die de ‘Prayer Strategy’ zal volgen. Een e-mail/Skype party zal er ook deel van uiutmaken en wordt georganiseerd door KK Engeland. Dit is een grote onderneming. Dan volgt Spring Harvest. We zijn opnieuw in Skegness en doen opnieuw de ’s-11s jarigen. Het tema ‘ one big God. De eerste mensen zijn al aanhgenomen. Ruth is druk bezig met de adminstratie daarvoor maar het is niet zo erg als vroeger want nu doet Spring Harvest zelf de meeste administratie. WEB SITE. De Kindermannen hebben nu een website. Je kan ons vinden op www.kindermanflock.zoomshare.com We hopen om het up to date te houden met informatie en gaan proberen om onze nieuwsbrief daar te publiceren. We hopen dat jullie er op gaan en verwelkomen alle commentaren. Ons gezin Bethany’s schoolis begonnen en zij was heel blij om terug te gaaan. Ze gaat n u ook naar Girlsbrigade en doet heel goed mee. Daar Ruth nu meehlept is Caleb alleen thuis met Robert en geniet hij ervan om zijn papa voor hem alleen te hebben. Caleb gaat nu ook naar Beavers (Welpen) en de ‘Tribe’.. Elisabeth is in Brownies, Girls brigade and tribe. Abigail is nog steeds in Girls Brigade en nu ookm in Rainbows. Het lijkt wel of we niet5s anders doen dan kinderen ophalen en afzetten elke avond. Ze hebben niets op donderdag avond dus dat is nog vrij en de weekends. Robert deed level twee Niko want de ene werd geanulleerd en de andere was al volzet. Ondanks de teleurstelling hoopt hij om eens de level twee te doen. In plaats daarvan heeft hij een dagtrip naar Berlijn genomen. Robert en Andy waren daar deel van team die een ‘worship event’ planden voor 15 juli 2006. De kinderen waren buitenzichzelf van plezier toen hij vanuit Berlijn belde om hun goedenacht te wensen.. We hadden gehoopt om deze brief vroeger uit te zenden maar toch gaan we proberen om er nog in te sturen net voor Kerstmis. Daarin gaan we meer vertellen over wat we gedaan hebben als gezin en over de andere dingen die we gedaan hebben maar die niet in deze brief pastten..

KindermanFlock For most of you life was probably back to normal from summer holidays, though if you are anything like us normal isn’t a word we would use. Though we are back into a routine of assemblies, after school clubs and taking our own children to all their activities but that is as far as it goes. No two weeks are the same and if you look at our calendar we are all over the place up till Christmas. More about that later, but first what have we been up to for the last few months. Most of the summer was either doing or planning Merseyfest. With enough time; to set up a prayer tent (for Make poverty history) during an all age event at the King’s Lodge, Finish off schools work, do some circus skills workshops at local events and Robert to fly of to Berlin for a day. Put the 15th July 2006 in your diary as there is going to be a huge 10 hour worship event in Berlin. MERSEYFEST. We took a team of 27 to join in with a few thousand in Liverpool. There we all were involved in various projects in and around Liverpool with the corporation of local councils, police, churches and clubs. We started off by three training days were we spend time doing teachings, worship and intercession. It was also the time of learning songs, choreographies, sketches and drama. Everyone was involved in either teaching or learning. As a team we were part of the openings ceremony of Merseyfest. What started as a wet, windy day turned out nice and sunny while we were on stage. The following day we moved to tent city and were part of the Merseyfest programme. After the morning sessions (worship, teaching,..) we collected our packed lunch and headed for the busses. We were bussed into Penketh were we did our projects of painting railings, youth club, gardening, ying a path and games on the rec. All through our time in Liverpool we were blessed with beautiful weather. The rain came back as we were loading up the cars to go home. It was a sad goodbye but a few people said they were interested in joining us in Belgium next year. We have been very busy since we got back and will be till Christmas. It all started with a weekend in Belgium where we did the teenagers programme for Ruth’s parents home church. The theme was the Holy Spirit at the adult programme so we used that for ours. We also enjoyed the company of family and catching up with people from the church. We were in the beautiful surroundings of ‘Spa’ in Walloon. Caleb and Sam illustrating unity. The following weekend we were in Harpenden and St. Albans. On the Saturday we prepared for the church service we taking the next day. The King’s Kids network group ‘Crown jewels’ was part of this and is was good to work together. On the Sunday we were there with 65 taking part at the Italian churches service. Over half term we helped a church in Stafford with running a holiday club in the morning, while in the afternoon we were involved with creative workshops, all this lead up to a performance at the end of the week. We had a great team of the church helping us and besides putting us up for the week they also provided us with amazing cooked meals. Robert didn’t take on the Scottish weather as the Niko he would have been involved with got cancelled. But he did run a Niko challenge for two days for the Discipleship training school students at the Lodge. It was an interesting and challenging time both for students and staff. Robert did have to miss two days in Stafford because of this but the rest of the family was there. Coming up The main project is our trip to South Africa to help our PCYM students in fulfilling their school requirements. Flights will come to an approximate total of £2700 for the six of us. We need to see God provide for this, as well as for our expenses once there. Richie and Andy are also planning to go but both of them need to see all their finances still come in. Before that we will be in Switzerland at a Kings Kids Western Europe conference. This will be the ideal opportunity to link up with other Kings Kids teams and besides teachings also learn what they are doing in their own countries. The children are looking forward to meeting up with old friends. We are also busy in collecting and writing prayer materials for ‘The Asian Prayer strategy’. This is an initiative to get people all over the world to pray for China and its surrounding countries for three months. We will be starting up an all age prayer group in January at the King’s Lodge which will follow the prayer strategy. This strategy will include a e-mail / skype party which KK has to organise that will be a big undertaking. Next big event will be Spring Harvest. We are back at Skegness doing the 8’s-11s. Theme is one big God. The first people have already applied and have been accepted. Ruth will be busy as she is taking on doing the admin for that. But it isn’t as bad as it used to be because Spring Harvest does an awful lot of it now. WEB SITE. The Kinderman’s now have a website. You can find us on www.kindermanflock.zoomshare.com We are hoping to keep it up to date with information and will try to get our newsletter on there too. We hope you will enjoy it and please do give us tips on how we can improve it. US AS A FAMILY. Bethany’s school; has started and she is very exited to be back. Bethany is now also going to girl’s brigade and loves it there. With Ruth now helping it means that Caleb is left at home and enjoys having his dad all to himself. Caleb is now going to beavers, boy’s brigade and the tribe, Elisabeth is in Brownies, girl’s brigade and tribe. Abigail is in girl’s brigade and rainbows. It seems we do nothing else but drop off and pick up children every night. We do however get a break on Thursdays and the weekend (if we are free). Robert didn’t get to do the level two Nico because one got cancelled and another one was already full. He was disappointed but still hopes to do a level two some day. However he did take a daytrip to Berlin. There Robert and Andy were part of a planning meeting for a worship event at the 15th July. The children were exited when he phoned them from Berlin to say goodnight. This went out later than we hoped, but we still hope to fit one in just before Christmas. In which we will tell more about family trips and events that have been squeezed out of this one, by all the other things we have been doing. Diary dates 12th November Youth work in Newton 17th-21st King’s Kids conference in Switzerland 23rd November-15th December South Africa Christmas at home January-March Asian prayer strategy January – March All age Prayer meetings at the King’s Lodge. 13th April -23rd April Spring Harvest 29th April start of second PCYM 15th July Worship event in Berlin July – August Belgian outreach Prayer points  God’s provision for South Africa  Improvement of communication  All the activities to go well  Our children who will be involved in all we do  Strength for Andy, Catherine, Noah, Richie and us.

merseyfest
Merseyfest Following Festival Manchester and Soul in the city in London it was the turn of Liverpool this year to host the camping of loads of Christians and do with them serve the communities in and around Liverpool. As you may or may not know we work for Kings Kids which is part of Youth With A Mission. This summer king’s kids were taking teams all over the world. We decided as a family to Liverpool. Our team slowly got to form and we had applications from kids in Egypt, Switzerland, Belgium and England. Some people dropped out and others applied. There were two people interested from Brazil but they couldn’t make it in the end. In the end we had a team of 27 people (9 were staff). The youngest participant was 4 the oldest 17. The youngest staff member was 18 and the oldest 40. We were a very mixed and international team. On the 10th august we, as a family, left for Penketh were we would have our boot camp or training camp. We were the first ones to arrive and slowly others started to arrive after us. The first day was very much spent on getting to know each other. 7 Local young people would join us for the training days. It was great to see the two groups getting to know each other. The next three days was spend on worship, intercession, teachings and teaching drama’s, choreographies and sketches. All ages were involved in these from doing them or teaching them. The team had to work very hard in learning these since we were doing a performance in Liverpool city centre on Saturday. When the Saturday came we left for Liverpool. First we went to Croxteth park, were we will be camping from Sunday onwards for a week, to register the team. From there we went to the city centre. It was pouring with rain and it didn’t look good. The stage which wasn’t covered was wet and other problems arose from this. Still our team was not going to be defeated and before we were due on we all huddled together and prayed. By the time it was our turn the sun was out and it was pleasant warmth. During the times we were on it was dry but the minute we had done our last performance it started to pour down again. We had seen our first answer to prayer as a team. The following Sunday we packed up and moved from Penketh to Croxteth park. Our tents were pitched and meals were cooked for us. Together with about 3000 other Christians we were camping in the park our home for the next week. Every morning we all met in the big tent for worship, prayer and teachings as well as updates of the projects that will be done this week. After we picked our packed lunch from the mesh tent we headed for the bus which would taken us to Penketh were our projects were. There were some other teams going with us to Penketh and we were with 48 in total. In Penketh we had five projects to get involved with. We were painting railings, gardening, laying a footpath, painting a youth club, did some things at an event for the elderly, games and circus clowning things on the rec and performances. The people from Penketh were very supportive and kept us fed and supplying us with drinks. Three evenings there were concerts on the rec that we started of with performances. The projects went well and we managed to finish all of them. At one point it didn’t seem that we would manage. For the week we had the extra help of young offenders. They worked so hard and didn’t mind hard labour. On the last day we prayed with them and cheered. They were the heroes; we couldn’t have done some things without them. It had been a good experience to see our team come together and work so hard. They were open to hear from God and we saw God working in their lives as well as shinning out from them. It was a sad goodbye after the debriefing when we all went our separate ways again. However some have already said they want to come with us to Belgium next summer!
