Last week I began a series on finishing school. I was hoping to have more posts online by now, but my writing flow was interrupted by an exhausting and encouraging week away with a group of 15 SOULIES crew who have just graduated from school. Stay tuned for more in the finishing school series and see soulies instragram for some pics from the schoolies trip.
In the meantime, I thought it was worthwhile highlighting one of the current sponsors of this blog…
YEAR 13
Perhaps you’ve just finished school. You should consider being part of Year 13!
What’s Year 13? Here’s a blurb from their website…
Year 13 is a Christian gap year like no other.
We are not an internship program.
We are not a modified Bible College.We are a discipleship gap year for Christian school leavers, specifically designed to grow and mature your love and knowledge of Jesus, and prepare you for the rest of life – whatever that might hold.
During your Year 13, you will:
Discover Your God… Your World… Your Self.

I know a number of the team at Youthworks who run the YEAR 13 program. They are great people, running a great program! I’ve interacted with many of the year 13 students over the last few years and have been impressed seeing them in action.
Gap Years are fairly popular in Sydney. There are those that do the Gap Year by serving in British schools for the year. But I’m now noticing an increasing number of choose-your-own-adventure gap years taking place. This might consist of working for a bit, travelling for a bit, working somewhere else, and then travelling somewhere else. This might be an exciting year. But it’s also a dangerous year for the Christian young person as they remove themselves from Christian fellowship and chase after that next experience.
I think Youthworks’ YEAR 13 is a much better option! Here are a few things I think are valuable about YEAR 13:
- It will help build solid foundation for knowing Jesus and serving Jesus throughout the rest of your life
- There is a great opportunity to connect in with the community of other young Christians in the program
- It’s not removed from the local church
- It includes a life-changing month in Fiji on a mission trip
If you are part of Soulies Youth Community and keen to be involved, let me know and I’ll help you make it happen!
