"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.

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.


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.
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.

Samuel left here Sunday back to Kenya and we will miss him dearly.

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.

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 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.

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.

Richmond?

Hello 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
many times it is scary. For half the day everyday we have teaching, planing and praying for the interns coming. We look at a picture of them and pray for each and everyone. The second half of the day we are working around the house from building, moving, maintinance and running errands.

Last weekend I was finally able to go toward downtown Vancouver. It is truly a beautiful place.

We started in Washington, DC on the first day driving 19 hours through severe thunderstorms in Iowa to stay at Noah's brother's house in Omaha, Nebraska.






















After a day of rest we headed on toward our long trek towards Montana.














































The last day we struggled to get up, drove about 12 more hours, through Idaho, Seattle traffic and through an hour and a half wait at the border. We got our Visas in about thirty minutes and reached Canada about 11 o'clock Pacific time.

"The Beginend"

I am going to greatly miss New Hampshire, it has served me well. The place where I would never expect to be I'm now leaving. This week has been a dwindling effect of people. Half of us are gone already. Many in Mexico for a missions trip and others home. I leave Friday, blessing and leaving my peace here. Thank You Streams Academy, New Hamsphire and God.

Here are some of the many stories to look back on. They're very abreviated

Story #1
Lidia, a homeless drunk woman who we encountered on the streets of Worscester was struggling with the Love flowing through us. She hated and loved it. Following us all day, she was drawn to us because she saw and felt something different about us. God was moving. She left with a Bible and hugged us in the midst of her grouchy drunken character.

Story #2
A Jewish finacial broker who was practicing and experimenting with witchcraft encountered us at Salem in October. From her perspective she "encountered these amazing young people (us) who were doing spiritual readings (personal prophecy) and dream interepretations." "I was so blown away of their love and ability to intereprete my dream, no one before was able to intereprete it. Hiding my reaction after leaving the tent, I went around the corner against the wall and started crying, it was powerful. I asked God to reveal Himself to me. That night Jesus came to me."

Story #3
Rockport Outreach: Chad (Michigan) and Jamie (Alberta) went into a tarot shop and spoke words of life and destiny to the tarot reader, for an hour. Then after they prayed over her. One of the things they prayed was that she would recieve God into her heart (spoken in more veil terms). After walking by her I noticed her to be very free and bright.

Story #4
Boston Outreach: Changing the atmoshere of Boston. The city was Gods playground that weekend. We talked and gave food to some great people who lacked a personal home. Restored the streets (picked up random trash). We saw the "Prince of Peace"(Jesus) literally calm the arguing and strong confrontation between Christians evangelists and Gay activists in the Boston Commons. To the point were they were sitting right next each other, some even talking to each other without arguing. We could talk to some of the activists about God without arguing.
