HEART Retreat Matamata 2012

22 – 24 June 2012

Being a Christian young person in today’s society is becoming increasingly challenging. What does it take to survive the test of peer pressure, a godless culture and temptations from the enemy? ?

  During this retreat, our desire is to take you deeper in your walk with God. An opportunity of learning to draw close to Him without distractions, these five days will be a time to focus on your relationship with the Lord. It will also be an opportunity to seek God’s heart for you, identify hindrances to your Christian growth, and learn what it means to love God with all of your heart, soul, mind and strength.?

Laurie Jalbert, age 26, was born and raised in Tampa, Florida, USA. She is a freelance oboist with The King’s Musicians and teaches oboe in her home. With five sisters, there is never a dull moment in the Jalbert household. Laurie enjoys cooking, reading and mentoring girls.

Over the last few years Laurie has travelled with various Christian ministries as a speaker and counsellor. In 2007, Laurie and her sister launched the beginnings of a new organisation, A Passion for Jesus Inc. Through this ministry, Laurie desires to see girls grow spiritually and experience the love of God.

Kylie Lau, age 25, was born and raised in Melbourne, Australia. Witnessing the incredible difference Christ makes in ordinary lives has made her passionate about the Gospel, and she is committed to spreading this life-changing message across the world and inspiring believers to a deeper walk with God.

She is involved with various Christian ministries to children, youth, and families both locally and overseas. She also teaches piano from home. Kylie is not a chocolate lover, much to her friends’ bewilderment, but she does love mentoring girls, spending time with family and friends, playing with the Te Deum Ensemble and travelling, doing any or all of the above.

?

Janny Moore, age 27, grew up on the Canadian prairies, the oldest of five. From an early age, Janny has had a passion to point girls to Christ. Although she has experienced intense suffering and even faced death, her life is a testimony of God’s surpassing power. She lives to help others know the power of Christ’s resurrection.

While Janny enjoys a variety of pursuits including teaching music and training horses, her real joy is to see people experience the blessing and love of God as they walk in truth.

Dr David Catchpoole will be visiting the North Island on Friday 18-Sunday 27 November 2011.

Don’t miss a great opportunity to hear how the first eleven chapters of Genesis are crucially relevant to the effective communication of the gospel message today.

Find out:
How to make a difference in your family/community.
Exciting evidences to support the Bible’s history of creation.

Get answers to:
Why traditional forms of evangelism are not as successful as they once were.
Why so many think that science has somehow disproved the Bible.
If there is a loving God, then why do we die?
And more of the questions people are asking today.

Prior to Dr Catchpoole becoming a Christian he was an ardent atheistic evolutionist. On becoming a Christian, David still held to evolutionary ideas about origins, until one day he attended a CMI presentation, which resulted in turning his thinking around. David now testifies to the importance of the debate on origins and how it impacts our culture today.

David is in much demand as a speaker on the creation/evolution subject. His engaging style and enthusiasm makes him an effective communicator. Comments received during his visit to the South Island last year included:

“Tonight was just wonderful. Everything now makes sense. My faith is so strengthened—the Bible can be trusted!”
“This is the most significant day for my life, my faith, my work.”

Be there!

Bring your friends and find out why the creation debate is not a side issue that one can sit on the fence about. It’s an issue so important that it affects every person. All are welcome to the free meetings below.

Home Education Awareness Week (HEAW) is later this year because the fourth term begins later – October 25. We have traditionally held HEAW in the first or second week of the fourth term, trying to miss Labour weekend. So this year the Home Education Awareness Week is 31 October through to 5 November 2011

Home Educators all over the country use this as an opportunity to do something special to raise their profile locally and develop a bit of positive public relations. This helps in gaining the movement a bit more credibility, especially when applying for grants or discounts with resource suppliers, or for admission to tertiary institutions or gaining help and advice from schools and perhaps even the use of some of their resources. And of course the benefits would be examined by more people, thereby bringing more people into the home schooling movement and your local support group.
