Faithful prayer warriors at Karalundi College
A team of faithful staff and students meet at Karalundi College at 4:30 am each morning to pray.
Our kids pray every day in the dorm, before school, at the end of school and they pray before sports.
This year, staff and students have been placed in four separate ministry teams, which they have named themselves:
Malu (the indigenous name for ‘kangaroo’ in the Watjarri-Tjupany country, also known as the Meekatharra area)
SAP (Strong And Proud)
BIB (Better Than Before)
The Doves
Each group has two divine speakers. They all decide together how they will do worship when they are rostered on for vespers and ‘AY’ (Adventist Youth) where we meet out around the fire. We have a weekly theme based on keywords from the bible, such as the fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5:22-23 or Christian values like ‘respect’.
The four teams support the spiritual life at Karalundi, as well as support bible worker Robyn Brim at Meekatharra Seventh-day Adventist Church running Sabbath morning programs. It’s wonderful seeing the teams’ creativity and faithfulness unfold with different ways to worship each time.
We recently had Darren Peakall join us for a Week of Worship where he spoke about the Fruits of the Spirit.
What’s on peoples’ minds at the moment, is whether Karalundi will stay opened or closed—but in the midst of all that, everyone is keeping their faith and trusting God. We ask for your prayer support as government applications go through for new courses and funding opportunities. Karalundi truly is an ‘oasis in the desert’¹ for our young First Nations people, and we hope God continues to do beautiful things through our campus for many years to come.
¹ ‘Karalundi’ is an Aboriginal word meaning ‘clear, good water’
