I have just started an iPod Drive for Bushfire Victims see the details below.

Question: What does a teenager do when they need time out amidst a tragedy?
Answer: Listen to music on their iPod.

Question: What does a teenager do when they want to help another teenager who has lost everything?

Answer: They buy an iPod, fully charge it and load it with songs then pass it on to the teenagers affected by the bushfires.

Imagine if we could put an iPod in the hands of every teenager that had lost their homes in the recent Victorian bushfires.

I am appealing to youth ministries across the state to participate in this endeavour.

How to participate:
1. Communicate with all of your young people and encourage them to use their savings to purchase a new iPod, fully charge it, load it with songs and pack it back into the box. (They may like to work in groups of three or four to share the finances.)
2. Have the re-boxed iPods dropped off to a leader in the church by Sunday 15th Feb @ 12 noon. 3. Have the leader email ipodsforfirevictims@gmail.com with the number of iPods, the location of the iPods and a contact person.
*A collection point will be organised when we have an idea of where they are coming from.

We are conducting this “iPod Drive” over the next 5 days with the aim to put music back into the hands of the young people who have lost everything by the beginning of next week.

We hope you are able to participate in this endeavour and know that your young people will benefit greatly from playing their part is showing the love of Jesus to their fellow teenagers in a sad situation

I look forward to seeing what the Baptist Youth Ministries of Victoria can do to share the love of Jesus.
