SUMMARY:100 days of prayer
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to 100 Days of Prayer\nWe are living in a world full of digital distractions\, consuming cares\, busyness\, and broken down altars of worship. If you are feeling in need of a fresh re-boot in your spiritual journey\, desiring to rebuild or strengthen your altar of worship\, longing for more Holy Spirit revival fire to be poured out on your life\, or simply looking for an evangelistic tool to bring others to a deep relationship with Jesus\, you’ve come to the right place. \n“Then Elijah said to all the people\, ‘Come near to me.’ So all the people came near to him. And he repaired the altar of the LORD [that was] broken down.” 1 Kings 18:30 \nOver the course of fourteen weeks (April 4 – July 12\, 2025)\, we will be praying for an outpouring of the Latter Rain on our world church\, growing together as disciples for the Kingdom\, and preparing our hearts for Jesus’ soon return. \nEach Friday morning\, during the Back to the Altar | 100 Days of Prayer\, all those registered will receive an e-mail which will include: \n\nA short revival or miracle testimony to build faith\nA short but packed inspirational Back to the Altar themed Bible study\n\nThis study will include fun interactive activities and questions that one can do alone\, with friends/family\, the church\, or a small group.\n\n\nIt will include personal heart challenges and inspiring video illustrations.\n\n\nIt will include practical spiritual disciplines to incorporate into your daily life\, as well as much\, much more.\n\n\nParticipants can sign up to receive a daily “prayer focus” on WhatsApp.\nThose who desire can also participate in a 1 hour weekly revival session on zoom hosted by members of the Back to the Altar leadership team. This revival session will take place every Sunday at 6:00 AM Eastern Standard Time (10:00 UTC) and will be in English.

Don’t miss out on the amazing astronomy field trip to the Sir Thomas Brisbane Planetarium—there are only a limited number of places available\, so register now so that you are not disappointed!

SUMMARY:Health Week
DESCRIPTION:The theme “Breaking Chains” highlights the reality that addiction goes beyond drugs or alcohol. “When we hear the word ‘addictions’ we often think in terms of drugs or alcohol\, but there are many other types of addiction that fall under a category of behavioural addictions\,” said Pamela Townend\, South Pacific Division health coordinator. “Examples of this are food\, exercise\, work and shopping\, to name just a few.” \nTo support churches and individuals during Adventist Health Week\, a suite of resources is available\, including: \n\nBreaking Chains devotional series (for personal or group study)\nSocial media posts (to raise awareness throughout the week)\nChurch bulletin announcements (to keep members informed and engaged)\n\nResources for Health Week can be downloaded here. \n
