Nexus Young Adults Connect Group Update

253212_369677443142503_2010784320_n

by Nexus Church,

Nexus YA have created a network of connect groups which meet on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis. Eleni Ali who recently met with her connect group talked about how the Young Adults have created friendships and community through these meetings. "It creates friendships and a sense of community...With our connect groups we can talk to them about literally anything and have extremely deep conversations about topics we feel we can't talk to anyone else about."  Paired with a bible study and the SOAP (Scripture,Observation,Application and Prayer) method, our Young Adults are growing in friendships and their relationship with God.  

Alpha Testimony

by Nexus Church,

Alpha is a practical introduction to the Christian Faith, an opportunity for people from all walks of life to explore the meaning of life in a relaxed setting over 8 thought-provoking weekly sessions. This week we received an incredible testimony from our last Alpha course:  Lope, is a young 60 year old man from the Philippines and was only in Australia for one year. Lope attended the Alpha Course Term 1, 2013. On our Alpha Saturday, Lope had a powerful encounter with God and accepted Jesus Christ as his Saviour, with which he says has changed his life. Since the course he has been meeting regularly with his table hosts to learn more about God. Lope is now heading back to the Philippines and says when he gets home he will be gathering people in his home to tell them about Jesus. Praise God!
