>First post. at 12:00 midnight before I leave for Alberta at 8:45 in the morning. Man, I’m excited, scared, and sad all at the same time.

I’m excited because I’ll be leaving for a great place where I’ll push my comfort zone. I’ll be trained by a bunch of very experienced missionaries - compassionate, gentle people, not Pocahontas converters! I’ll get to spend lots of time in the sun, and I’ll be totally independent.

Which leads to why I’m scared. I’ll be totally independent. No parents to rely on. Only the partner who I don’t know, and my self, and God. The last person listed will most likely be the most important. He’s the one who knows how to start a fire.

I’m sad because I will miss all that is happening in Toronto. All the fellowship activities that I crazily helped to plan. All the stuff with school friends that might be happening. And the tons of roller hockey that the guys at church will be playing.

We’ll see how I turn out. I’m sure I’ll grow and mature from this experience. What I need to keep in mind - and please pray for me for this - that I maintain my relationship with God throughout the whole time, because I know that if I do, no matter what tan I get, what limb I lose, what Indians convert, how much weight I lose, or whether I was kicked out of the village because the chief doesn’t want Christians, I will still fulfill the purpose that God has set for me.

See ya in August!

My sister Sarah may be the one who updates this blog whenever I may have news. If it never gets updated, then oh well, all the more for me to tell you when I get back.

Arguably the most enjoyable of all Agape nights, every month we break open God’s Word and explore the amazing stuff that’s in there. We haven’t had a BA in quite a while, so Cell Groups are bound to have a wonderful time gathering together again. Bring your Bibles and be prepared to learn something about the Bible you NEVER EVER knew before! If you think the Bible is boring, you haven’t really looked far enough.

If you don’t have a cell group, just come and we’ll put you into one you will feel comfortable in.

>Keep praying. Continue to pray for the people who responded for the FIRST TIME and the REDEDICATIONS. Pray for the follow-up and that they won’t fall through the cracks. Pray that they can find a healthy church to mature and grow in. Pray that maybe some will come out to Agape on Fridays…
