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.
