A life-changing gift that inspires hope…empowers individuals…transforms families and communities!

The Cambodia Education & Support appeal is on again this year. You can help sponsor one of 9 students in part or full to go to school, or provide a bike for a young person in the village to go to school. Our goal for the students is $7,500 and $1200 for the bikes (10 are needed at $120 AUD ea).

LifeWay, thank you for your generosity! Both of our goals have been reached. All further donations will go towards the student education fund.

You can read about the students via the PDF attachment here.

Thank you for your generosity. From small things, great things can happen.

This search-and-find activity book will help kids get to know the Bible in a fun and engaging way.

You've heard of Disney World; now welcome to Bible World!

This search-and-find book visualises various Bible genres as a series of lands in a theme park with detailed, fun and colourful Where's Wally-style illustrations.

As children explore these Bible "lands", they'll discover for themselves the way Scripture has been collected and organised from Genesis to Revelation. They will also see the main theme that runs throughout the BibleGods promise of a rescuing King and its fulfilment in Jesus Christ.

Explanations of the different Bible genres are included, as well as specific Bible heroes and events for children to spot. It's a fun and engaging way for kids to learn more about the Bible.

Written by Mike Nappa, award-winning children's author, and best-selling creator of many books for families. His highlight reel includes several VeggieTales comics, the Bibleman Bible Storybook and the Gold Medallion-nominated Family Nights Tool Chest series. Illustrated by Emiliano Migliardo.

[Available at www.shopACR.com.au for $23.99](https://www.shopacr.com.au/P702664/Welcome-to-BibleWorld/pd.php)

The Table has always been a great ministry opportunity. Read the Gospel of Luke especially and you will see that Jesus met, healed and transformed many lives around the table.

Around a table, we have unhurried time.

Around a table, we get to know people deeper

Around a table, we make new friends.

Around a table, we reveal the presence of Christ.

OUR VISION 2030 BEYOND LIMITS CHALLENGE FOR 2024

600 Table Moments hosted by LifeWay members.

600 moments to live his love, share his hope and grow in his grace together.

That is 2-3 invitations for every member.

This is not about doing anything extra from what you do already! It’s simply being intentional in those Table Moments.

- Think about those neighbours or work colleagues that you could get to know better.

- Invite them for a meal.

- Share stories as you do over a meal – how do you meet, what brought you to this suburb.

- Pray – maybe just ask the Lord’s blessing over your meal with a table grace…or before they leave just ask if there is anything you can pray for them, or simply offer this prayer. Dear Jesus, thank you for bringing ______here today. Thank you for the opportunity to get to know them. Watch over and bless them in the coming week. Amen. It is that simple.

- Take a photo (if it is appropriate) or simply fill in a Table Moment card at each centre as we build a wall of Table moments to pray over and ask God to use for his purposes.

May God bless the Table Moments you share in 2024!
