Hundreds of young people from local church youth groups turned up to the launch event for week 2 of Extreme:REBUILD last night (Sun' 09 April). Rousing worshp to our creator God was led by the Extreme in-house band. We saw Idy Samuels of World Harvest Church, Eastwood lead the delegates in prayer for our town and for the Extreme:REBUILD week.
Simon Ford formally of Network Youth spoke on 'What is our motivation?', he showed us a God of Love that sent his only Son to die on the cross so that we all may live. This was a challenge for all delagates to give rather than to receive. To base their week of serving the community in a place where they were not expectiong to get anything back - any rewards they then get would be a bonus.
The challenge was to go about the week passionately, full of enthusiasm and based in the Love of God and what He had sacrificed for them. Tough stuff when you're covered in muck and clearing out rubbish in the pouring rain!
