Positive Friends Retreat

Life - lived in fast-forward - has reached August 14th.

We head over to the other side of town for a 3 day retreat with our Positive Friends who have faith in Jesus. John Forbes has just arrived from the US to help lead us through this special time. We expect a turnout of about 60 all told!

Our theme this time is: Blessed to be a Blessing - how despite all the setbacks each one has faced - we have and are being blessed - and how that is not just for ourselves - but also for each one of us to touch others through.

We are doing this over the long-weekend that kicks off with our nation's 61st Independence day (15th August - also my brother Stefan's birthday!). Instead of only getting pity (which even that is is short supply) we would like to see people with HIV/AIDS - who are living through the challenges each day - we would like to see them bless the nation.

Deep breath. Over and out. See you on the other side of this retreat!
