On March 8, some of our College students had a fantastic day at a special event with Penrith Anglican College and William Carey College. Around 50 students joined in for a fun Crufit training day where they learned about faith in a unique way.
They used PC games to teach important lessons about the Gospel. For example, they compared sin to someone else ruining a world you had made on Minecraft, which the students really understood. They also explained eternal life using the idea of getting a bonus life in a video game that never ends – simple but effective.
What was really special about this event was how they combined interactive games with Bible lessons. It wasn't just someone talking at the front; it was a creative mix that made learning fun and memorable.
As I watched, I was reminded of God’s grace and kindness, especially by Psalm 103, which talks about how much God loves us and forgives our mistakes.
God does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities.11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; 12 as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
Psalm 103
Overall, it was a great afternoon for students to learn about God and make friends with others who share their faith. It was truly a blessing to be a part of it.
