water bottles

just got back from handing out bottles of water to people in Hindley st.  Hindley street is the street in Adelaide with the majority of pubs and clubs. Adelaide is really bad with binge drinking, and handing out bottles of water is partly an attempt to combat that.  Giving people water, helps people to stay hydrated, and there fore less likely to get as drunk, cause the water would be absorbed byt the body instead of alocohol.  But not only that it was a good chance to go out and chat with people.  Most of the time, people just grabbed water and kept going, and didn't chat, but they experienced the love of God through us... 
I went out with a group from the local corps, ACH, and it was a great time, everyone had a lot of fun... but most importantly, God was there, and led our feet and also our conversations. And gave ideas of improving the concept, and the potential of all that it could happen in Hindley st.

So i praise God, that He is at work in this city, that He is stirring people's hearts to get out of the pews, and that He is using people willing to follow Him, to plant, nuture, and harvest seeds in people's lives here.  God is great.
