Guys House, Lilydale - currently three guys. These guys are doing pretty well together. One of them is going through methadone withdrawals at the moment, as the other two support him. Please pray for his full recovery from this drug, physically, mentally and emotionally. Pray for the two guys supporting him, that they would realise the blessing of being there for someone else.
Girls House, Croydon - currently two girls. Currently one stable girl and one girl with metal illness. The latter has secured a place in a supportive home for people with such illnesses and will move out in the next few weeks. Please pray for wisdom as the Elisha Care board considers the future of this house.
Guys House, Montrose - currently three guys. Please pray for these guys to be continually encouraged by the love of Jesus; that their hearts would be open to His touch. Pray that they would find something deeper in Him, as they seek to live in community with each other.

Things are happening in Croydon!
Today Geoff, Ian and lots of guys 'got into it' at the community room in Croydon... adjusting the walls and doorways and putting in the kitchen. There's still lots to do, but this is a great start!
Josh and Geoff, cutting strutts for a new wall; and on the right is Gunnar cooking the sausages!
Stay tuned for more action at the room in Croydon! :)

Our Flowerdale visit
A small group from elishacare were recently invited out to Flowerdale (an area effected by the 2009 bush fires), to share some stories of Hope. It was a very special morning starting with a big brekky and some wonderful chats around the tables, then an opportunity to share some stories with the locals of how Jesus reached deep into our lives and our darkest moments.
Pictured above from left to right is: Noel, Josh, Ulf, Jason, and Dee with me and Rod on our knees.
Rod then took us on a tour of Kinglake West, the area he was living when the fires chased them out.

If you are living in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne and interested in joining us as we go out and help people with needs in our community, give us an email and come and join us, we have lots of fun and would love to share this joy with you.

Camp Torquay
Our most recent camp to Torquay (March), about 15 of the guys went down to our favourite little spot for some time out. We love hanging out here, building on the friendships that have began, sharing stories and using this time to encourage one another in their journey with Jesus.

Josh, Anthony, Danny and Robby, as you can see life is pretty hard on these camps.
Pete and his family catch up for some lunch together while Jason is never to far away from the food
The boys relaxing on the foreshore of the beach
James with his sausage rolls, that he reckons are the best in the world. He made them for the boys on the first night of camp, they were pretty good (but don't tell James that or you will never hear the end of it)
