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.

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.
