Thankyou for reading each day the "titles" of the young writers articles in "Christian Today Australia". A lot of very positive feedback. This is just one example; retired Barrister Gavin Lawrie wrote of the young writers: "A great read thanks Dr Mark."

SCHOOL PASTORAL CARE

Mark's article last week in Christian Today titled 'School Pastoral Care - on the ground' received very positive correspondence. One such letter was from Reverend Peter Robinson from Sydney's 'genr8ministries' which provides chaplains to schools: "I find the point you make about school chaplaincy alongside the variety of chaplaincies in the wider community very powerful ...."

Mark's art "Teenagers" illustrated the article.

Meanwhile, Mission people Andrew and Christine at Laguna Quays Respite are enjoying a restful time. But two blankets were not enough it was so cold, co-ordinators Sean and Sue Spencer lent them an extra blanket. How nice was that!
