Last year, the youth and leaders at 180FM raised $350 to support the Dickson family’s scholarship program for children in Thailand. The funds were recently transferred to the Dicksons, and will go towards supporting a 13 year old boy named Ong who has been coming along to the Dicksons’ church in Thailand over the last few months and is very interested in Jesus.

Please pray for him and his family, that they would come to know salvation through Christ, and thank God that Ong’s mother became a Christian a couple of years ago through a bible study group that the Dicksons ran.

Thanks to Dilan, Liz, Tracey, Danny, Prills and Brendan from SMBC (and beyond) for visiting 180FM this Friday! We all learnt about what God has been doing through these workers and how they plan to go and spread the good news to a great variety of people around the world.

Photos from the night are up, and you can discuss your thoughts and any questions you have on the forum.

Remember to keep praying for our brothers and sisters as they plan and prepare for entering God’s harvest field in India, Peru, and other exotic places.

Well some of you may not agree with the exclamation mark at the end, but 180FM is going ice skating on September 1st.

Remember to get your parents to sign the ‘permission form’, which you then need to give to a leader before you can go. We don’t want to get sued. Not that anything bad will happen… Also, it’ll cost $16.

The plan is to meet at church at 6:30 on that Friday, and then leaders and parents will give you a lift to the ice rink, and have you returned to church by 10pm. Try to get to church on time, then you can get the most skating in for your dollar.

180FM will be focussing on mission in term 3, with plenty of talks, activities and Bible studies based around this theme. In the first week (Friday 21 July), we have John Dickson, a missionary from Thailand, visiting and talking to us about his experience over there and about us and mission.

Then for the rest of the term, we’ll continue with the topic of missions, looking at evangelism here and abroad, leading up to RICE evangelistic events in August.

Come along to 180 and be challeneged to think about mission and U.

Fridays 7:30pm at the church hall. Hope to see you there!
