Our Lord works in mystical and amazing ways. Truly the daily miracles that Warriuka is privy to witness are better referred to as ‘Mighty Deeds’.


Without a doubt, this last year working with Warriuka, I have seen God work on every single camp I’ve been involved in. Wether it be waking up to a calm lake on our canoe day after praying desperately for the constant wind to go away,


or starting ‘Warriuka Time’ not knowing how to intigrate God into the day; then having a student ask almost strait away "so is that like trusting in God?".


He has been there as students challenged the Warriuka leaders on ‘manipulating them into talking about God’ only to then spend hours explaining the Gospel message to themselves, with little input from the leaders! He has been there on the second ‘every body in’ 50+ student camp in a row, where all the leaders are tired, and under spiritual attack; it was there that God truly carried all of us, and gave us the strength to safely and joyfully (most of the time) reach those students through adventure activities.

Hopefully I can erase this once i've gotten a hang of what to do.
So another term has begun and the Warriuka office is in 'training mode'. with only 4 camps on this term we are heavy into training up the interns and taking advantage of the autumn weather to do a few staff only camps. After Carey Baptist next week, we will be doing a few role clinics and an abseiling day, so that the interns can feel more comfortable while with schools on these activities. We are then going to once again head down to the Stirling Ranges and complete the famed 'ridge walk', going from Ellens Peak to Bluff Knoll. We'll post some pictures and stories from those fun days after we've recoverd and all begun to get along again! just kidding. I've included a picture from last years ridge walk, probably the best sunrise I have ever seen, and boy was it cold! Until next time...
