A quick note to all my followers :)

Hi everyone, hope you're doing well & are keeping on striving to be the best you can be.

Super busy at the moment but thought I'd share this with ya, it's my message to the team at the third of our staff visits - hope it inspires you and will post an update real soon. In my prayers always, Trev :)

NET is a place where we are encouraged to break the status quo and define ourselves as the people God called us to be.

Where an engineer can inspire a young person without maths but instead with love, a high school graduate can give hope to the older generation through their choice to live out their faith, a uni student can guide the next generation through their life experience and a youth minister can become a leader of the wider church.

It's a place where God, if allowed, can change the lives of not only high school students but also the young adults ministering to them as well.

God's grace let us learn that failure and humiliation aren't a bad thing but something to be used to bring us closer to our creator & trust him more. We also realise that we don't just have someone who created us, but a God who is our father, friend and who loves us no matter what we do.

NET is living God's call of love for all in everything that makes up a day. Whether it's prayer, serving breakfast, washing up, talking to team, doing CC's, doing practice, eating food, playing sport, running events or just chilling and enjoying life.

But it's more than just about this year. As Paul says in Philippians, keep doing what you've learnt and received and heard and seen in me and the God of peace will be with you.

We are called for the rest of our lives to keep living in God's word. In doing so we come to realise that all things can be done through Christ who gives us strength but that we are not called to all things. As Blessed Mother Theresa said: What I can do, you cannot do - what you can do, I cannot do, but together we can make a world of difference.

We need to use the gifts that we've been given to not only enhance our own lives but the lives of others, working with one another to bring God to as many people as possible. We're more than just one person - for where two or more are gathered there is where God is, and that means we really are 'all in this together.'

Once a Netter, always a netter!
