ICEBREAKER QUESTIONS // App Giveaway

My friend Calum Henderson has followed up his killer GROUP GAMES iPhone App with another solid Youth Ministry tool. Calum’s latest release in his Group Games Network is the ICEBREAKER QUESTIONS iPhone App. Check out the short intro vid:

Here’s the official blurb:

Have you ever led a small group and needed a quick question to find out a little something about others?

Have you ever interviewed someone and wanted a non-standard question to get to know a bit more about who they really are?

Have you ever been in an awkward conversation and needed something to kickstart things?

Then this App is for you!

I regularly use Group Games and I’m sure that IceBreaker Questions will likewise be useful in our kids and youth ministry at St Faith’s.

I’ve clicked through a significant number of the random questions in this new App. They are creative, interesting, funny and would certainly be great conversation starters. I have a ridiculous number of apps on my phone. This one is probably the simplest! It does what it says it will do.

Want a free copy? I have 3 to give away. The first 3 people to say “ICE BREAK ME” in the comments of this blog post… it’s yours. If you miss out – it only costs 99c. Get on it!

I also have 2 free copies of Group Games App. First 2 people to say “GROUP GAMES” in the comments… it’s yours. (You can’t enter both competitions).

BROOKE FRASER // CS LEWIS SONG

I love this quote from CS Lewis: “If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world.” It’s from MERE CHRISTIANITY. Brooke Fraser has written a song based on this and other themes from Lewis’ well-known book. Here’s the vid:

The title to my talk this Friday night at Soulies is MADE FOR ANOTHER WORLD. Brooke Fraser’s song will be performed as an item and I will be speaking from Ecclesiastes 3.

MANLY BOUND FOR THE UNDERGROUND

Tadhg Parker is my friend and intern at St Faith’s. This Saturday he is going for a walk. Not just any Saturday stroll in the park. He will be walking from Palm Beach to Manly. For those unfamiliar with the Northern Beaches of Sydney, Palm Beach is where they film Home and Away; Manly is like Bondi, only better and they are approximately 32kms apart. Why is he doing it? He’s raising money for an underground bible college in Vietnam.

For the past year Tadhg has been an Ambassador for Thirteen Three (youth initiative of Voice of the Martyrs). The money he raises will help to sponsor the students and build a new library for the college. I THINK THIS IS A GREAT CAUSE!

He will walking this Saturday – 15th December 2012 – carrying a backpack full of Bibles. It’ll be pretty hot. So pray for him! A group of us will be gathering together to pray and eat when he gets to Manly – let me know if you’re interested.
