Our Friend Hunter...

Every generation of young people has his/her own specific flavor and passions. This group of young leaders are our current Youth leaders for 2008 . Their passion seems to be in the area of worship. This bunch is serious about their music and make up the majority of the worship instrumentalist in our church today.

This picture was taken at a Leaders' Retreat in Simuti. The little guy in red is Hunter our mascot for the trip. He simply attached himself to us and followed the Youth wherever they went.

We met him on the night of the Simuti Youth Service. He was the youngest Youth! Next morning as we were having breakfast.. he was there. As you can see.. he loves durians for breakfast. Dennis, however, is happier with bread and Milo. He may be with the Youth but next to Hunter he looks like a lau ah pek!! Perspective lah..

After breakfast, he followed us to pray before Sunday service... His brother is Keith's friend.

The girls thought he was adorable and if they could they would have packed him into the car like Kung Fu Panda! But seriously.. look at him.. can you resist?

Hunter goes to Primary One next year. Pray for him. In Simuti not many children enter school and finish their education. Most of them quit school after SPM to look for jobs in the city never to return to the Simuti except for festive occassions.
