Steve

a Biblical thought...
You are my God, and I will give you thanks; you are my God, and I will exalt you. Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever. (Psalm 118:28-29)

a Book thought...
The emergence of the spaceship culture is advantaging women. This could be one of the main reasons girls are outperforming boys in schools: now it is the cowboy males in schools who are
increasingly the misfits and the failures. The jobs formerly available to poorly educated males are disappearing in a growing 21st-century knowledge-based economy, and many of the job
niches they used to occupy have been exported to developing countries. (p83)
a Dave thought...
Last night it was a great opportunity to share a few thoughts on becoming a disciple with the Waverley youth at fusion. As part of this youth service the guys gave a very special man an amazing and authentic farewell. Steve Williamson is a 23 year-old who leaves on Friday to go join his parents in mission work. He is taking up a position with The Salvation Army in Project Development and Child Sponsorship in Jamaica which is a part of the Caribbean territory. I only know Steve a little but the stories of his inspirational leadership, vision and passion from those that know him well tell me he is an amazing guy. So thanks Steve for letting me get a glimpse of your impact in so many lives last night & I'm sure with God's help you will influence many more in the coming years.

Just a thought.

A great bloke with a great heart - our love and prayers are with him as he takes this exciting 'next step'. So good to see people taking on these roles... who will be the next?

Glad you could be there, Dave - v cool.

What an incredible opportunity ahead for him. Great to see someone who doesn't just talk about overseas mission or reaching out to those in need, here is someone actually willing to make a huge sacrifice and leave all he knows to serve God. Praying for you Steve!
