HG5..........check!

Holy Given 5 is now officially over. Graduation was today. Tomorrow I fly to Dar es Salaam and try to get a visa for Russia. Paul Adams is there already trying to get a visa and the embassy is not playing nice; they don't want to give him one. PRAYER IS NEEDED. I want to go to Russia. PLEASE PRAY EVRYONE. I WANT TO GO TO RUSSIA!!!

HG5 went well. I wont go into too many details but it didnt quite go expected as planned? It was good though. All in all, thousands of people recieved Jesus, many churches were planted, and the Gospel was advanced in a mighty way. And that's what it's all about.

Hallelujah!

Today was one of great joy. I booked my ticket back to Mozambique. I graduate from Celebration Bible college on April 28th, then head to Redding, California for May 2nd-9th, then head back to PEI from May 12th-27th, then head out from the Island on May 27th to Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. From Dar I get a flight to Pemba, and hopefully arrive there by the 30th of May. Hallelujah all right! It's been a journey back to Africa 2 years in the making, and now it's one step closer; one BIG step. I plan on working as a staff member for Iris Ministries Holy Given 5 Missions School for 3 months, then heading up into Sudan for the rest of the trip. We'll see what God has in store. Anyways, I'm pretty stoked. It's like I've come alive again since the invite was offered. More in a couple of days when more details become available.........

a less intense post (thank God)

Last week we studied 'apologetics' with Peter Karl Youngren; good times. It might've been the best week of Bible College. This week we are studying 'Revivalists and Reformers' with Sam Youngren; it is excellent too. The last couple of days we studied Martin Luther, John Wesley, Jonathan Edwards, George Whitefield, and William Carey; some of the greatest men in the history of the Christian Church. The rest of the week should be more than awesome as we get into Charles Finney, Aimee Semple McPherson, and others.

In other (less dramatic) news work has been good. I'm doing full time custodial duties at NCC, and am working at WalMart on the weekends. On top of Bible College it has been a heavy workload, but it has been good. Josh Heymans and I have booked a ticket out to Redding, California for a week following graduation to visit Bill Johnson's church. That should be an awesome time. I know a few fellow HoGi's that are attending the Bethel Supernatural School of Ministry there.

In other more exciting news, I got an email from Iris Ministries hospitality in Pemba asking if I would like to come over and help staff the Holy Given 5: International School of Missions this summer. Sweet!! It would be a perfect opportunity to get back into the swing of things (seeing I've been off the foreign field for 2 yrs!!!) and I could likely stay on afterwards and springboard to Zimpeto, Sudan, or wherever. So that is like super cool. I am all fired up again. Good times. I want to get back to the foreign mission field REAL bad. It's something that is constant in my thoughts. Neverending. I love it.

WWJD?

Recent flooding is making life harder than normal in Mozambique, where Iris Ministries is pouring out the love of Jesus to all they can. Help is needed; compassion seems like a good idea to the first world church, yet there seems to be a huge void in this area. Above is one of Rolland Baker's pictures of a refugee camp in central Mozambique which shelters(?) about 6000 people.
