So we are back, it was quite the drive to Halifax, lots of trees. It really gives you an appreciation for planes. I found it also gives an appreciation for people like Paul (the apostle) and the early settlers of Canada. It took us about 20 hours of driving to get to NS. I don't think I could take much of a longer trip, we did it because we have people we care about on the other end of the trip.
I think that is why Paul and the settlers were willing to travel weeks with less comfort then we had. (hotel did have a hot tub). Paul cared so much for people that he couldn't bear to see them live on without Christ. The early settlers of Canada cared so much for their families that they braved the journey across this land to make a better home for them. It makes me think 'what am I willing to do?' 'What level of comfort can I do without?' Just something to think about.
We are about a month away from our FALL Kickoff on Friday September 14. We are really believing that God has something in store for the students of Halton Hills over this next year. Stay tuned for details as we move forward. For now I want to encourage you to pray. This is our best strategy, we need God to move with power in our town so people see Jesus and their need for Him.
We have a few times set aside coming up where we want to gather together to do this. On Thursday August 30 we will be having a prayer meeting at Georgetown District High School, we are going to do a Joshua and pray around that school, that spiritual walls would fall just like Jericho and the Gospel of Jesus Christ would be proclaimed. The next Friday (Sep 7) we will be having another prayer meeting at the church where we are calling parents and any other adult to come alongisde our youth as we pray for our students.
There is much more, to come, stay tuned! And don't forget - WONDERLAND is next week - RSVP by Friday so you get food!!!
