25.01.2022 On Saturday September 21st, Scripture Union NT held it's first combined ministry Thanksgiving Service at St Peters Nightcliff. As part of this service, we also had an opportunity to say thank you and farewell to Topher Hallyburton in his role as Schools Ministry Coordinator. 75 volunteers, supporters and staff came together to give praise to God for the ministry that has happened during 2020 under the banner of SU, and say farewell to Topher. A number of our staff and volunt...eers shared of the stories within their ministry area, and how God has been at work this year in the lives of children, young people and families right across the NT. We celebrated the commencement of some new programs in 2020 including Rural SUPA Kids Day and Alice Springs Kids Games and the recommencement of SUPA Camp, as well as the continuation of many existing ministries. We have had much to thank God for. Our last Newsletter of the year will be published next week, and will feature more on both these, and many other ministry that has happened over the past few months. If you don't currently receive the Newsletter and would like to, please get in contact with us via our website.

21.01.2022 Today I met a young man at a primary school who 'blessed' each of the RI teachers as they left school today. He wants to become a priest when he grows up - his idea of a reward is to be allowed to come to the office and read the staff bible stories. How awesome is that!

21.01.2022 Katherine Kids Games has started this morning. A group of 21 kids and 18 leaders have assembled at MacFarlane PS. It runs every morning this week. Pray that more kids might be able to attend from tomorrow onwards. Please pray for kids and leaders that they have an awesome week experiencing the love of Jesus.

20.01.2022 Day 3 of Alice Springs Kids Games today, and yay, it stopped raining, the Sun came out and we could get outside to play sports and games. Thanks God. We had 37 kids again today. Netball today, along with learning lots about disciple Peter and how he was forgiven and restored by Jesus, even though he denied and abandoned him. Jesus accepts us even after we’ve made mistakes.... Looking forward to the next 2 days and being able to continue sharing the good news of Jesus with the kids.

19.01.2022 An opportunity for get involved in some Children's ministry training online over the next 3 weeks on a Thursday evening, see the details in the below post.

18.01.2022 Day 3 today of Katherine Kids Games, playing AFL, after playing netball yesterday. 31 kids came yesterday and 29 today. Yesterday we heard about Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego and the Courage they had to stand up for their faith in God. Today we are hearing about Peter, and even though he made mistakes and denied Jesus, he was Restored/Forgiven. Keep praying for the leaders to have lots of energy and the ability to invest in the children. And for the children to have open ears and hearts to hear the gospel.

18.01.2022 Great start to the very first Alice Springs Kids Games program. It’s awesome that 38 kids have turned up today despite being only 12 degrees and rainy weather (it was 37 degrees yesterday). We are thankful to God that there was a break in the weather and we were able to play sports outside. They had fun playing some soccer and about to get into looking at the story of Matthew in the bible and how Jesus included him, despite his background. We have 17 leaders from several churches in Alice Springs and Darwin. Please pray that the rest of week goes really well, for kids to hear about the Good News of Jesus, and for more kids might turn up tomorrow.

17.01.2022 Scripture Union NT's first SUPA camp in 5 years was held at Riyala Campsite this past weekend. A great time was has had by all, with over 40 campers and 20 leaders being involved. Lots of activities and games, amazing food (thanks Jan and Margot), singing and music, arts, craft, cards games, a movie and awesome bible talks and small groups, we learnt more of how Jesus loves us no matter who we are, or what we've done - through the stories of the Samaritan woman at the well; ...Zacchaeus; and Mary and Martha. Thanks to all the leaders involved for giving up their time to volunteer on camp, also to the kids who came (and their parents for trusting us to look after them). We look forward to running SUPA Camp again in 2021. Thanks also to eveyone who have been praying for this camp's return, we know God was with over the whole weekend. Please pray that the Kids who were in attendance will have grown closer to Jesus over the weekend, and for the seeds planted to continue to grow and develop. See more

10.01.2022 What an awesome week of Kids Games in Alice Springs, the very first time it has run. About 40 kids attended each day, and 17 leaders from Alice Springs and Darwin. Thanks to all the leaders who volunteered. The kids had fun playing sports each day, as well as games and learning about Jesus and the bible, we looked at themes of Belonging, Courage, Forgiveness, Purpose and Serving (with the right attitude). We are thankful to God that a few kids decided to put their trust in Je...sus for the first time yesterday and we pray that all the children can continue to grow and develop in their faith. Please pray for them. We can’t wait to return in 2021 to run Kids Games in partnership again with the local churches in Alice Springs.
