7:00pm 'Touch of Fiji'

Friends here in Sydney and in Fiji eagerly look forward to Emmaus going to Fiji – when - we don't know – the preparation time is long. Like any new beginning it can't just happen! You as part of the Sydney Community will help make it happen, through prayer, support and gifts.

You will miss a great night if you don't come to the next Gathering. Fijian folk – adults and children from some of our local churches will provide beautiful music, there will be an update on Fiji and Emmaus, a couple of short interviews with local Fijian folk and a Message by video from Immanuel and Grace Reuben. Please pray about the Fiji venture and don't forget the Fiji Development Fund – if you are able to help please forward all gifts to our Treasurer: Ross Swadling, 55 Pringle Avenue , BELROSE NSW 2085 or at the Gathering.

Prayer

Can you remember on your walk when you were amazed at how many people had been praying for YOU? People that you didn't know, and also people from all around the world. Now it's your turn ... we have the Men's and Women's Walks coming up soon.

Go to the web site www.sydneyemmaus.org.au  then click on the Prayer Vigil link and select a time that suits you. Your prayers will make a huge difference.

Sponsoring

The next MENS WALK 28 June to 1 July and WOMENS WALK 12 to 15 July are fast approaching and we need Applications to make the Walks a reality. The Teams have formed and are training eagerly anticipating two great Walks. We need YOU to Sponsor – talk to and encourage the people whom you feel would benefit from the Walk experience. If you haven't sponsored before launch out into a new and rewarding experience. Again some folk from Fiji will attend as pilgrims and be on team. The Sydney Community Board has entered into this venture and we need support from the whole community.

If you need help with what to do as a sponsor ring or email the Registrar –

AGAPE - Gifts of Love

Just a friendly reminder to all the Reunion groups and Emmaus community people that the walks are coming up fast on:

28 th June – 1 st July 2007 Men's Walk # 109

12 th – 15 th July 2007 Women's Walk # 110

We need agape, so let's get our fingers busy and overwhelm the pilgrims with God's love. Remember how some of the agape touched you in some way during your walk?

Reunion groups please try to make about 4 different types of agape if you can. At least 50 pieces of
each agape are needed for each walk, so that no one misses out. All contributions are welcome!

I would appreciate if you could let me know what agape you are doing and how many items as soon as possible.

Agape can be delivered to me before the walk or no later than Thursday night of the walk in the Prayer Chapel at the Conference Centre.

Overseas Agape back to top

One of the most exciting requests for Letter Agape and Prayer that we have received was for a new Community called Czech Republic . The Dallas Emmaus Community in the USA have been working with the local people for 4 years in preparation. It will be the first Emmaus Walk held in a former Soviet Block nation in Central and Eastern Europe . There will be some Team members from Slovakia and interest from Christians in Slovakia , Hungary and Poland .

This first Walk is a Men's Walk 24 to 27 May, 2007. Please remember and pray for these people.
