Parables

So its been over a week since i last did a blog, life has been very hectic so am just trying to catch up on a lot of things! so we have been going into schools all the last two weeks, in our first school we managed to get about 12 young people in the lunch club! the second we got about 25-30young people and the fourth around 50! so the numbers are going great so far with every school! just all we are struggling with at the moment is the people who are actually attending, specifically the school of 50 as many of the young people want to be there but many are just there so we are finding it a bit challenging at this current moment, but we believe God will keep the people he wants to touch and we are just praying that God will give us the right words to say so that we can bless all the people that want to be there! so in terms of Church we have finally got some things up and running we have organised some sort of event to happen once a week on a Friday with the church, so now we are just praying that we can get the young people along to it, so its all about advertising it properly and in the right way. i have been going in and out of all the Sunday school groups at Church as well so has been awesome just getting to know all the young people in the church.
      So parables.... well today im starting on a topic in which im going to be doing my devotionals. the topic as you have guessed is Parables, so having done a lot of research and this may cause issues with some people but ive calculated there is 40parables so every week i will be doing a Study on each one, and will hopefully give you my opinion on them, and if your reading this and want to get involved in it with me then please do this week i will be studying the parable of 'the lamp under the basket' and it is found in Matt 5:14-16; Mk 4:21,22; Lk 8:16,17; Lk 11:33-36 
so please feel free to read it with me and study it in depth with me and see what opinions and thoughts you get out of it! i truly believe that each parable inst written with a  stone cold right answer, i think they are there to be adapted to each of us so that each of us can use it in our life, although the core message may be the same, thoughts around it will be different for each of us!


OK so prayer points

- prayer for the young people who are just turning up at our lunch clubs and want to be there just to mess around and distract others
-prayer for the young people at mount zion that the right young people will come on the Friday events which me and alot of people at church are putting hard work into
