Guess What?

Wanda's on the road again. Up in Slave Lake helping her mom with her big scrapbook retreat. She'll be back on the 3rd. I have to preach and lead worship on Sunday at Delta and work 24 hours at the Well during the week so if you think about, it pray for me sometime during the next 7 days.

My Prayer For Vancouver

Father God in Heaven,
You are Lord over Vancouver.
May this city reflect Your characteristics just as heaven does.
Today and everyday we ask for Your provisions and forgiveness so life and ministry can continue.
We will endeavor to provide for and forgive others.
Help us keep our eyes on You during this journey. Because it's all about You and it always will be.
AMEN.

Am I Dumb Enough

There seems to be this longing in the hearts of all the Christian leaders I know for more than we have seen. Part of me thinks it comes from such a disappointment in all of the "methods" or "patterns" they thought were such a cool idea coupled with a common sense knowledge that God is who He says He is. It makes me look for leadership to lead me towards this goal but there aren't a lot of them around. I guess that makes sense. If the church really is on the verge of a reformation, then there needs to be no doubt as to who the glory will go to.

I long for the day when the church is powerful for God in their communities.

I long for the day when people are just "dumb enough" to take God at His word regarding all the promises in Scripture.

I long to be so full of love that people think I might actually be from another planet.

I long to be so full of love that my wife thinks I might actually be from another planet.

PERSONALLY I long to own a coffee shop that people come back to day after day becuase "there's just something about that place and the people are really nice."

I long for the church to be a force.

Hey

Well we've been back from our trip for a weekish or so. Getting back into the pace of North American life. We've begun our Sunday night downtown meetings. We're a small group but we're really intent on discovering God's will for this part of Vancouver. We're not sure if this will be the genesis of a church or a ministry group but we're excited. We have a great peace about this time in our life and feel confident that when God reveals to us what He wants to do, we'll be close by to hear.
