the goings on

Things are still well. Not a whole lot to report. Still looking for work. Had interviews at a flower warehouse, and one at Food Basics. Waiting to hear back from them.

Yesterday was sweet. I took Jessica, Cheralyn, Nita, and Russell (from CBC), and Mary and Maria (from SSM) to Versa Care to help me put on a service for 25+ residents there. We sang some songs; Jessica and Russell gave a brief testimony on God's goodness, and Nita prayed. I spoke on joy, and used Psalm 16:11 as a reference. It was a pretty sweet opportunity. I look forward to next week as well.

Today we finally get our camp applications sent out. One to NY and one to NC. We'll leave it up to God to decide which one selects us. Exciting times. We are also finding out that getting registered as a charitable organization is frustrating and a major hassle. We plod on though. I would love to be able tax reciepts to donors. It is a goal for this year.

And the poll results are official:
Amsterdam or Pemba?
Pemba 52%
Amsterdam 48%
It was close but Pemba won. Too bad in reality Amsterdam has won, cause that is the direction that is decided upon. Thanks for voting. Vote on the next one.

Amsterdam or Pemba?

In my last poll I asked:

WHERE WILL I BE THIS TIME NEXT YEAR?
sumwhere in Africa (45%)

Russia (18%)

sumwhere else (18%)

PEI (9%)
Ontario (9%)

Almost half the vote said Africa, somewhere. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. I am throwing out another poll question to all of you. Recent developments have left with with a decision to either travel to Mozambique or Amsterdam this summer. In either destination I would have the opportunity to help out with missions schools. It's extremely different environments but with extremely similiar spiritual need. Either place would be amazing. So take a moment and ask Holy Spirit and then cast your vote in the poll in my sidebar. Thanks. I already have an idea which it will be, but Proverbs 15:22 says: Without consultation, plans are frustrated, But with many counselors they succeed.

a new day

So, I just spent the morning re-editing my blog. I kinda like it. What do you think? Yes, I admit it. I like orange. I just do, so what. I gotta tell you about the Pen Center evangelism Josh Heymans, Jessica Brown, Humphrey Onzere, and I did last night; it was sweet. I'm gonna tell it in 4 sections.
Heymans: Josh wasn't gettin into the flow well untill the close of the evening. He had not much success until a we sat down with guy and wanted to pray for his broken hand. The ladies with him got extremely offended and took off so we sat down and had a great conversation with him and got to pray for his hand. We're believing for a great testimony when the doctor takes his cast off. Then Josh literally got called over by a group of 6 or 7 to preach to them. I don't know what was said cause I was talking to another fellow, but he was witnessing up a storm.
Humphrey:............is hardcore. This was Humphrey's first time out with "Josh Squared", and he tore it up. He just liked to go sit beside someone on a bench and use his African residency as a door opener. He got to talk openly about Christ with at least 4 people. Humphrey just took some bold initiative and didn't wait for us to point him in a direction, he just went for it, and had awesome results. People were almost crying as he shared with them about how much God loved them and how He showed that love for them by sending Jesus to die on their behalf. Nice job God, and Humphrey.
Jessica and I: We pretty much teamed up. But as I was getting my quad band cell phone unlocked so I can use it in Africa, Jessica went up to this guy who was pushing around a little girl in a wheelchair and asked if she could pray for the girl. He was a Bible believing Christian and let her. It was a big step of boldness. We had been asking God to send some sick people to us so we could pray for them, and God answered. Be careful what you pray for. Then we walked up to 2 girls and I bluntly asked them, "Do you girls know Jesus?" They answered, "No............ do you want to tell us about him?" So we got to share about the love of God, and what Easter had been all about, etc etc. Good stuff. Then we got to lay hands on this guy and pray for him. The I seen a girl who looked like I did a few years ago (extremely sad and lonely) so I sent Jessica over to her and she got to dramatically speak into her life in a way that she might never had before. It was awesome.

All this, and I was under constant threat of being permanently banned from that Mall for doing the very thing we were doing! These 3 people braved the threat as well, cause they too would undoubtedly have been banned for being with me. Book of Acts anointing?.............not really, but I'll take it. It was another awesome evangelical experience anyway.

New Poll
Last poll results:

Think Jesus is coming back in your lifetime?

Selection		Votes
yes	56%	9
no	44%	7

The majority says that "YES", Jesus will come back before I die. I voted "no" myself; unless believers get off their *** and get the Gospel to the nations who have not heard yet, we're not going anywhere. So lets go!!! C'mon generation who have been prophesied about. Let's get'er done.

New poll is, do you believe the signs and wonders like Gold Dust, gold teeth, feathers, oil, etc etc are from God, man, or the devil? It's a controvesial subject, and one that has been discussed at length in my bible school the last little while. Blessings all. Enjoy the weekend.

walk from Hades / new Poll

Peter & Julie took me for a "walk" today. I call it a 3hr test of endurance, but they seemed happy enough to use the term "walk". It was alright though. Today was pretty chill; I slept in, skipped church, relaxed, etc etc.

Here are the results from the last Poll:

Where is Finland?

43% Europe

43% Scandinavia

14% Mexico

Actually, Finland is part of Europe. It is not officially Scandinavian. It is part of the Nordic countries, but not the Scandinavian. Interesting, but not really.

So here's the New Poll:

Think Jesus is coming back in your lifetime?

Johanna Poll

So anyways, Johanna, my Finnish roomate (pictured here holding a Swedish flag, go figure) was highly insulted at the fact that us ignorant Canadians don't know where the Finland is actually located. So she made me do a poll which asks everyone where it actually IS located. And it's like midnight, and I have to get up for school in the morning, but she don't care because her culture has been insulted and her pride has been marred!!!! Anyways, whatcha think, where is that country? To be honest, I don't think she knows herself. Yeah, I'm tired, I hope she's happy!
Yeah right Josh Duffy!!

Se todellakin luulee olevansa jotain!!! Eika silla oo harmainta aavistustakaan mita maa tahan kirjotan...ilman a:ta pisteilla. HAHHAHHAAAAA!!!!!! :D
