5. Youth's pretty awesome, they are cool really. Sam, Kyle, Ken and Holly helped lead UTown in worship on sunday, I was uber impressed, the best worship since coming to vancouver I think... well in a church service for definate. Tom's off to england so we are taking them to a mall on friday, wont that be fun, i do wonder what havoc they will cause and how quickly! Oooo Tom becomes a canadian on thrusday how exciting.. History Maker stuff is starting to get arranged and the beining stages of a mission trip to mexico are in the pipeline, if you could be praying for this that would be great. heres a note from tanis:
This August I will be taking a handful of youth down to the Baja in Mexico to build houses for the Indigenous people in that area.
What is this about?
I NEED YOU HELP.
we need to book flights from Vancouver to San diego:
- Do you know anyone in the airline industry i could speak to to propose deals/discount/sponsorship for cheaper flights?
Funds for the trip and the cost of building the house;
- Do you feel called to donate money towards this event?
- Do you know a company or work for a company that might want to sponsor/donate towards this?
Food;
- Do you know someone in the 'food industry' that might want to donate food for the group of youth on the trip - to save costs that way for them.
Clothing? Toys?
- if you have good clothing that you want to donate, or toys for the children in the area - we would love to take them down there for you...
Anything else?
Any other way you might feel inspired to help with this trip - ideas on fundraising, please message me and let me know.
6. next year... we have a meeting tomorrow to find out more, but I will be Area Leader for the Westside. Rose, Ali, Jenna and Rebekka are staying, wont that be sweet.
7. schools.. whats happening.. after spring break we do a sex ed session in Eric Hamber, and we move the games mini at Uhill over the youth room at Uchapel, we are also looking to start a group in a basement for the Christians at Kitts, this depends on the interest from the students. Things are pretty exciting, we have seen students from Uhill attend the friday night cafe at Uchapel :)
8. we had a training session on reaching asian students, and then we went out for beef noodle soup, its was pretty yummy and seems to be the new westside team pet fave!
yet again I've been thinking about my role and who God's called me to be, this time Vision keeps coming up, what is my vision and where am I going in that, what places/things has he placed on my heart and why? (countries or minstries), how does this determine how I live now? And where does this fit with the Pais vision (which it does lol). What do I see myself doing, and is that God's plan or my plan.. And what about summer, how do I mould and shape it in such a way that I get the practial things done as well as living in my vision constantly. what about when I get rubbed up the wrong way? or treat family wrong, because I fall back into the mindset of home.. ermmm
