I am in "country NSW" up near the Queensland border on the Moree Plains (and I mean "flat") for a week. I have joined with a small team of people from the Salvation Army who are keen to assist their local corps in doing outreach among indigenous people over the school holidays... through evangelistic sports clinics.
It took the entire day on Tuesday just to drive the 500 km through the country to get here. At least I got quite a bit of reading done for my "Life Coaching" extension course. The entire team settled in with the local Salvation Army Leuitenant in a large 4-bedroom house on the south edge of town and began to plan for the four day programme.
Wednesday (so far) has been spent in checking out the venues and purchasing food as we will be providing breakfast and lunch for any of the kids that come along. Tomorrow at least we will start at the playground of the local primary school. We met the Principal this AM and he is very warm to the project and willing to assist in any way possible. Later today we are planning a BBQ with some of the aboriginal and church leaders to pray and plan. We will start work bright and early tommorrow AM.
