Play Time, in the Mountains

After church we saw the beautiful snow on the mountains
and decided we had to go up there and play.
"Hello"

We lacked skis and snowboards so we decided to
roll down, down, down (that little speck is Noah,
after rolling down)
By the end of the day we accomplished what we
needed to accomplish, which was "play"

"Oh Victoria,Victoria"

Our first major outreach happened this past weekend. For four days we were in Victoria on Vancouver Island, helping with Bruce Friessen's Church "Lion of Judah". The interns split up doing many different things. Some went to help at Heather Clarke's conference, while others helped at innercity ministries, and others help Bruce's son paint.
On our first ministry day we went to "Extreme Outreach" this ministry buses kids who live in troubled neighborhoods to church once a week to play games, sing songs, eat food and to be loved. The couple running the program wanted us to minister prophetically to these kids. This was a challenge for us, but very fun. Kids have no attention span so whatever we were hearing from God we had to say it in a way that they could understand. Most of what we got for them was simple, yet profoundly true. Later I realized that I needed to draw these kids pictures of what God wanted them to know on paper, so I did. They loved it. Afterward we found out that they were comparing pictures with each other. 
The rest of the time we ministered at Lion of Judah hung out at Bill Steepers house (President of Streams Canada, an amazing man) and on Monday visited downtown Victoria.
Angela this is for you.
The locals were very nice.

John Thomas
John Thomas an amazing man of God from the Metrowest Bridge flew all the way over here to minister to the interns and to teach the 102: Advance Prophetic Ministry. Wednesday night John shared great wisdom with us. As we all crammed in the "Blue House"(girls house) living room, one of the things he said was,"Fear and Faith are the same thing, the only difference is fear believes the negative to happen,but faith believes the positive to happen".
Also,"Anything you do that does not come out of Love is sin." these words pack a punch and hit home in us.
He brought a presence with him that touched us deeply. After John prayed for us all. His way of ministering is unique, not saying much, he touches us and basically the Holy Spirit does whatever. God came with much laughter for the rest of the night, we were filled with joy rolling on the ground. Which many people needed. It brought freedom. For the weekend John taught the 102 at a hotel conference room to us interns as well as those outside the internship. For over twenty hours of teaching in one weekend we learned the 102:Advanced Prophetic Ministry.
This course does a great job of teaching with scripture about prophecy and revelatory gifts, imparting spiritual understanding, and exercises to practice these gifts. All this to help improve you and how you minister to people.So I became very holy after the 102. But then I realize humility is part of being holy I'm not there yet. Thank God that He is Holy.
Thanks John Thomas for blessing us.

"Aslan is on the Move"
October 8th Canadian Thanksgiving or Columbus day for Americans. Most of the Canadians went home leaving the Americans and English (and a Swedish girl) home to fend for ourselves. But to the amazing grace of a few Canadians we had an excellent celebration. For those of you who don't know how a typical Canadian Thanksgiving goes its quite similar to the American way, turkey, mash potatoes, stuffing and pumpkin pie. Its just two months earlier. So things here are moving a little differently now. Everyone is back from the holidays and now "Aslan is on the move". Everyone feels a shift in the atmosphere because God is doing a new thing. Exactly what, I do not know. But whatever He does I welcome it.

Farewell Samuel
This past weekend we went to "Worship Invasion" an intense worship event that travels to different churches around Abbotsford. There I have never felt such freedom during worship, we were all dancing and singing all together. It was great seeing all the interns moving as one. Sunday nite we saw Graham Ord at church in Surrey. Graham is an amazing worship artist from the UK who lives in Kelowna, Canada. He would grab people out of the crowed who played instruments to perform. One man in the audience got on stage and started playing the the harmonica. It was awesome. Graham would give the microphone to people and walk away, He recognized that the worship was not his own, it wasn't about him at all. Samuel left here Sunday back to Kenya and we will miss him dearly.

"Crow-Kay"
The interns are now here. They all trickled in on Saturday, from all over. Many from Canada, then New Hampshire, California and Michigan. These people blow me away, they are quite mature in their character, great Tuesday was the start of the 101: "The Art of Hearing God". We also had the usual work around the offices and or houses and creative night, taught by Joni Cooper. Another thing that I'm greatly excited about is that Samuel, a pastor and principle from Kenya is staying with us for twelve days. He's staying in the leaders' room (my room) so we get to talk lots his
I have to say Canada is a pretty cool place to be, where else can you say eh? after every question and say "paa-sta" instead of "pah-stah". They also have Loonies and Toonies which are $1 and $2 coins, no need for any paper bills below $5.00 here. But whats really crazy is that in Vancouver I have seen palm trees, yes, small short palm trees. How often do you see palm trees in Canada"?. I'll get a picture in for you guys next time.
Our offical sport here in Streams Canada Internship is the gentlemen game of croquet. The fad has grown rapidly.
