Beginning in Canada

We just finished our 8 day Summit in Wyoming, Ontario. Well it was supposed to be an 8 day Summit but God was doing such a work that we extended an extra 2 days. God is so good. Our team loves it here and we have been richly blessed. We were also told that we will be able to have the chance to return here at the end of our traveling season this year in May. We are all very excited. I have been able to get to know a lot of the kids in Base Camp, a few families and a girl from the college and career group.

The Lord has been doing a cleansing work here in Ontario. Many...and I mean many marriages have been renewed. I even heard one couple make the comment that it's like they are newly weds all over again. They thought that getting open and honest with each other wasn't going to be good but in the end it brought them closer together. Another family shared that one night their daughter came back and started asking her mom's forgiveness for how she had been acting. In Base Camp we also got prayer requests from the kids and one boy asked us to pray that he would obey his parents because he was having a hard time with that. These are only a few stories here and there of what God has been doing.

Of my 2 years and 2 months of traveling this is the most I've seen God at work in His people. I am excited to see and hear what God is doing and see the change in May. When I get some of the written testimonies from the church I plan to post a few on my blogspot.

Keep your eyes set on Christ and live your life pleasing in His sight!

3 Thirst Conferences






These are some pictures from the first 3 conferences.

Raleigh, NC

Loudonville, NY
Loudonville Community Church

My first 3 weeks as a Children's Minister have been amazing. I have thoroughly enjoyed teaching kids and working with Evan, Rachel, and Brennan. We don't usually get a chance to find out what is really sticking out to the children we teach but at the end of one of our conferences a girl asked us to pray for her because she was having a hard time obeying her parents (We taught on Obedience as our first lesson). Another boy mentioned to us that he didn't think he knew how to pray but after our lesson on prayer he realized that he wasn't doing anything wrong. And one night I saw Evan and Brennan praying with one of the boys, I asked them what they were praying for him about and they said that they weren't praying for him but he was praying for them. Those were a few very encouraging things to me.
