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 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,
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. 
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.

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. 
Friday, we did our ISD (Institue for Spiritual Development) prophetic exercise at the mall. In groups at the food court we would observe people, hear what God is doing in that person's life and then compare what we heard within our group. Many times we heard the same thing. Next we would pray for them NOT approaching them but praying for them within our group. I love how a complete stranger is completely being pursued by God and that God is constantly speaking to them and we can ask the Holy Spirit what He's telling them.
Before going to the mall we stopped at three different churches either sitting in the car or literally touching the building to pray blessing over the church. After we prayed over this one Pentecostal church there was a hawk circling directly over the building as we started leaving. A sign of prophetic insight or in this case higher levels, or maybe there was just a juicy rat it was salivating over. We found out that their Senior pastor was leaving and they were celebrating their 65th anniversary.

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. 
But overall we have been trucking along with ISD classes, impartations, prayer, counseling, work, etc. I'm impressed with everyone. Today we had Spiritual Alignment, we did an excecise where we would look into everyones eyes individually for about a minute without saying anything. Since the eyes are the gateway to the soul we would look deeper into them, seeing their destiny, hearing what God is telling them. Afterwards you feel like you know everyone better and your not afraid to make eye contact because you spent the last 30 minutes looking into everyones eyes.

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 
servants waiting at any moment to serve. Not having a dishwasher in the guys house, I've been very impressed with how clean our kitchen has been. They are also quick to pray for anyone and worship. Every morning around 6 am everyone is scattered around the house spending their time with Him. We already have had great worship time and great moments of laughter. 
experiences. Already we've asked many question about God moving in Africa and what its like there. Everynight there, the Holy Spirit wakes him up to pray, because there's many spiritual darkness hightened at night. Breaking through to heaven is harder in Africa because of so much witchcraft and negative spirituality. The Lord will give Samuel dreams of someone about to get hurt, or in an accident. His prayers will allow God to stop anyone from getting hurt. 
everyone I've been in Vancouver for over a week now. Upon arrival we hugged everyone, happy seeing interns from last year again. For a few days I felt very dissoriented being in a new country. My first time ever leaving America. Richmond is where we live, a suburb of Vancouver. Its a delta formed by the Fraser River, because of that we are six feet below sea level. The rest of vancouver is hilly surrounded by huge mountains. 
A factor that makes Vancouver feel like a far away country and not just Canada is because 90% of Richmond's population is Chinese. After Hong Kong became an indendent from English rule many Chinese went to Vancouver. Most of them are very wealthy. All around they are tearing down most of the old houses here and making huge fancy houses in place of them. Many of the shop signs are in English and Mandarin.
We have gone nonstop all week with training and setting up a ministry from the ground up. I quite enjoy pioneering, though
Last weekend I was finally able to go toward downtown Vancouver. It is truly a beautiful place.
