A Good Few Months for SCO

With help from outside, and dedication from inside, many great things have happened around SCO in the past few months.

Thanks to the Gideons, 3000 Bibles were distrbuted through SCO on Wits campus.
Thanks to Children of Fire and McDonald's, 1125 toys have found there ways into the hands of needy children and people all over Gauteng. 450 of these toys were given out during the DOCS/SCO outreach to Baragwanath Hospital in March. 380 Easter Eggs, donated by SCO members, were also distributed during this outreach.

Our deepest gratitude to all those who helped make these events happen, but most of all to God, who allowed all of this to happen.

The Passion Project (18-22 April)

The Passion Project is an exciting Easter production by Wits arts students. It will run from 18-22 April every evening @ 7pm. Please come and support them and invite as many people as you can. The aim of this production is to bring to life the true story behind Easter, in the hearts and minds of those for whom Jesus died. Hope to see you there!

Day 2: Workshops. Teambuilding. God.
The evening sessions were refreshing.. God made His presence felt as we spent time in worship and His Word. (Noel & Deborah from Rustenburg, both full-time in youth ministry, were our guest speakers ;)) Day 2 was spent in another session, 'artistic expression', teambuilding, an identity discussion and sport.. again followed by an awesome time in God's presence.

Day 3: Fired up.. to change our world.
Our customary last day 'photoshoot' followed another great big breakfast and our last session. SCO camp really did give everyone a new perspective. Bonds were formed, passion was ignited and most importantly we left knowing - we had met with God.

Gideon's Outreach

Gideon's will be handing out Bibles on Wednesday the 12th of April, there will be various tables stationed around campus. If you are intersted watch out for them, go and chat, help or whatever...

Nick - the guy without limbs

On Thursday the 6th of April we showed a dvd on Nick - the guy with no arms or legs. Check out his website www.LifeWithoutLimbs.org if you want to find out more information about him or are interested in getting the dvd.

On the website it says that he will be speaking in Jo'burg from the 8th - 13th November 2006 - that's the end of this year.

Should be inspiring, we will watch out for more information on this...

But here's a verse to ponder:

'Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.' Matt 6:34

First Camp 2006

From 20 March to 22 March we went on an awesome camp...
God was definitely moving in each of the people who attended.
We had two guest speakers from Rustenburg: Noel and Deborah, who were great.
We did abseiling and bridge-jumping, oh yeah!
Food was good and some pretty amazing jokes were made up, hopefully they will be posted soon... :)

If you didn't make it... Don't worry we will have another camp later on in the year!
