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.

Elisha Houses Update
Guys House - currently two guys. Please pray that God would encourage the guys to reach out to those around them and draw them into community with them. Pray also for another guy to come along who would be looking to stay long-term.
Girls House - currently two girls. Another girl must move on. The girls who stay here continue to come and go, so please pray for one or two long-term, stable girls for this house. It is very hard to build relationships and trust with the girls when they only stay for a short time.
Second Guys House - currently three guys. The family/single parent house has turned into a second guys house. Pray for relationships to develop well, building trust and centered on Jesus.
The Second Girls House has been handed back into the hands of the church who owns the property.
House for Betel - This house has been sold and is no longer under our care, although we have an ongoing relationship with Betel. Please pray for the guys that come to them for help. For more information, go here http://www.betel.org/au

As natural as it gets
Wednesday nights are our normal nights we gather at the boys house for some community time, but this one was to be a little different. Same crew, many of the people we have met along the journey and that want to share life with us, but it was far from a "meeting".
Sorry the picture above doesn't give you the real picture.....
Try and picture this........A full house, men, women and kids, most of us coming from lives of abuse, addiction, self destruction and pain, coming together for a family meal. This was one of those "naturally-supernatural moments, and one I won't forget for some time.
Guys serving alongside each other cooking, or preparing the meal.
Others setting tables, stoking the fire, collecting chairs, or just hovering around ready to fill a gap as one arose. The kids playing, amongst the organized chaos and everyone involved in this family time.
The conversations around the table were so natural, that when the meal had finished, the conversations hadn't and they flowed over into all different rooms of the house, it was priceless to see us "one anothering" with each other and with Jesus.
Our prayer has become, Father show us how to take this natural way of Kingdom activity into every part of our lives. Please pray for us as we seek Him more...
What an awesome community

Elisha Houses Update
To bring your attention to what's happening in our elishahouses, here's a little update for your prayers...
Guys House - currently four guys. One guy has moved on and two new guys have moved in. Please pray for a deepening of their relationships with Father and with each other. The owners of this house have decided not to put it on the market! Praise God that we can continue to house the guys here! There's a fifth guy staying as a guest at the house at the moment. Please pray that a God would provide a good home for him, as it's not safe for him to return to his previous home.
Girls House - currently three girls, and one more moving in this weekend. One girl is looking for another place to live as she wants to live with her family. The two girls that are staying on are doing well. One of them is unsure whether she will move on soon or not. Please pray that God would make it clear to all involved as to what would be best for her in the long run. Continue to pray that the girls would learn to love and care for each other in a real and deep way.
Family/Single Parent House - currently a single Dad. He is recovering well from his accident - praise God that he has almost full movement back! Please pray for wisdom and guidance for his future accommodation arrangements, as he desires more community life than what he experiences living alone.
Second Girls House - currently one girl and one baby! Congratulations! Mother and baby are doing well. Please continue to pray for their health and for adjusting to all the new things. The second girl has half moved out - her belongings are still occupying a room. Please pray that she can finish up well at the house, collect her belongings and move on to a safe place.
House for Betel - We were able to provide a temporary home for Betel, a Christian Drug Rehabilition group who's previous home in Marysville was burnt down in the fires. This house has been sold and settlement is in June 2010. Please pray for an adequate new home for Betel before June.
