Welcome Back Home

Hey Barbadians :-)

Welcome back home. We have been missing you guys a lot but thankfully you are back. Bring the rain of the Spirit with you. It was awesome to have the good reports from Barbados, now its time to make it happen at home...

All the glory and honor to the Lord that kept you safe and guided you all...

Spirit Rains in Barbados

Our final service on Sunday night started out with a great worship service that went crazy (in a good way) like none of us ever expected when the power went out for almost ten minutes. When the power came back on we continued with the worship service as the Spirit of God moved amongst the people. After the message God opened up the flood-gates and several people received the gift of the Holy Ghost, the most in one service for Barbados for several years.

We were blessed to be able to come and partake in the work of God and meet and make new friends. We've had a small taste of what we know God is going to do in Calgary and we are not only ready to receive it, but desperate and well equiped to achieve it. So look out Calgary and CPD we're coming back home to rock the free world!!!

Trailblazing in Barbados

We've had two services in the downtown square, spoken to a lot of people and are just all standing in awe of what God is doing. It's really exciting to see our Truth Youth talking to and praying for people in the street.

Keep Barbados in your prayers- God is answering.

Update

wanted to give y'all a quick update.
We had awesome Sunday morning Church, we split up into two groups for the two churches they have on the island. Right now we're having a music practice for the evening service - both Churches are coming together for the service. The people here are all excited and have been having prayer and also believing for God to do a GREAT work.
We have one of the town squares/ their style of the olympic plaza/ from Monday through to Thursday evenings, were we will be having outdoor service. We're all excited about what God is about to do. Remember to keep Barbados in your prayers

Farewell for our G^Force

Go G^Force TELL BARBADOS.......

Esther, Courtney, and Lisa are in Barbados now "scouting out the land!"
The rest of the group leaves tomorrow, with 8500 flyers, 8 signs and a megaphone!
The Gospel Force is invading the island!

We are praying for a safe trip there and back for you guys.

Just A Thought

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?. . .
Your playing small does not serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do.... It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
-Marianne Williamson (A Return to Love)

just for fun

good news from a far country

I just got back from Saskatoon...and I just wanted everyone to know that the youth of First UPC are keepin' it real! We love the tooners!

let it snow

Winter is at (in?) the door! There is a beautiful white blanket over Calgary, fire places are crackling, and sartorialists are pulling out their favorite hats and scarves. If you're like me, then you have a love/hate relationship with winter. But these first few snows I absolutely love... they are fresh and romantic, filled with nostalgia of Canadian childhood. Here's a picture just taken...

done did it!

Calgary to Canmore SFC ride: done! Thanks to Grell, Travis, DJ, Fungai, Andrew, Kenny, and Luke for riding. Thanks to Alicia and Neil for following us. Thanks to everyone who gave to SFC (including the retired MP Debrah Grey who stopped me on the side of the road to make a donation). Here are some pics of the final stretch (click to enlarge)...

Truth Youth push the lid off of Prayer

Never before have we reached such heights in prayer! I'm stoked! Tuesday Night Youth Prayers have been increasingly intense encounters with God... nobody wants to leave... we just chill in the presence of God for-like-ever (that's my favorite part of prayer)!
A couple of weeks ago we really broke through during a spontaneous prayer meeting after Monday Night Bible College... every restraint was broke, and every young prayer warrior was released to unprecedented communion with God and complete victory. I know it sounds like rhetoric... but you just would on had to have been there!
YOUNG PEOPLE DON'T STOP... THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING!
P.S. Those of you that were there that monday night... remember our "Trailblazers" talk!

It looks like we are gonna make it by 2pm...

...next Saturday (some people thought we were talking about yesterday... silly people).
We would have made it yesterday if we didn't have to return our rental bikes...we were only 25k out of Canmore! Ya, it did take us 7 hours to bike 60k...but that's cuz we past a Humpty's when we were hungry. So, we'll be finishing off the last 25k next week.
P.S. If you don't see me sitting down in church today, this might have something to do with it. LOL

8:45AM Sat.

Here we go... our ETA is 2PM. Stay close for pics.

it's just about time for the ride!

This Saturday (Lord willing) we will be doin the ride to Canmore! I'll be posting an ETA for those that wanna meet us at the finish line in Canmore. Oh Lord help me...I'm so out of shape! I'm at my grandparents place in Texas right now, and it just got cool enough to go out, so I thought I'd go for a little run...by the time I got down the block my kidneys were screamin at me... I was like SHEESH! lol Pray and fast for me if you don't mind. lol

check back soon to meet one of God's greatest gifts to the world!

a quick thought from Ohio

I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEA!!!!!!!!!! THATS RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Home Sweet Home

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU TOOK SOME TIME OUT, JUST TO THINK ABOUT HEAVEN?

It's in YOU!!!

Ever heard the saying
-Dynamite comes in small packages-

Just wanted to remind you that within you, is the most powerful force this universe can ever know, its greater than our minds could ever conceive.
So go ahead, no need to be humble, we both know you can't hide nor conceal it.
Seriously, go ahead, let your light shine, be that inland lighthouse and lead someone to the path of salvation.
Mat 5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

30 get the Ghost at CAMP 06!

"That was the best Camp ever!" "I'm so glad I didn't miss it!" "I can't remember anything like it." These were the types of comments that I heard over and over again as last week came to a close. Many lives were changed forever...especially the 30 that recieved the Holy Ghost!

Thank you Rev. & Sis. Godair (squared)!

Liftin' Jesus Higher! (it's a camp must)

On Tuesday night alone 20 recieved the Holy Ghost!

Almost everybody that stepped forward got it that night!

A shout out to two of my friends that got the Ghost: Amyyyyyyy (above w/ Melissa), and Courtney (below w/Esther)!!!!
