Recently, while out with some friends celebrating a birthday, I came to the realization that I really like laughing. For those who have spent any amount of time with me, the realization that I laugh at myself (or the things I do or do not do) is soon to follow. I believe the saying goes,… Read More HUMOUR: Never What You Expect it to Be
In the search for our next mode of transportation we made a list of “must have’s”. After much searching, talking to friends and asking God for help, it is our joy to intorduce “Aunty Pearl”. She meets all of our requirements and even has a pink, leopard print faceplate on the CD player. What more… Read More Huzzah for Aunty Pearl
What does it take to make a difference? Some might say that it is both audacious and arrogant to believe that one can make any lasting difference in a foreign country, filled with dissimilar practices, a distinct world-view and a history that is only understood through research. Though I am convinced that there is an… Read More The Good House Guest
After about a month’s hiatus, we have returned to set-up our home. Decidedly, we’re not allowing the fact that we will be deconstructing our homestead in six months time to detract from our enjoyment of this process. Excited does not seem to fully capture our feeling towards the next few months. There are just so… Read More The Return of the Roamers
June 9th was everything we could have wanted and more. Though the skies decided to provide their own version of light refreshments, the day was wonderful. It truly is powerful, overwhelming and energizing to see family and friends all displaying their love and support by their presence. We were honoured to have people who came… Read More We are SO Married

We survived a very full weekend with over 3,000 youth and leaders in attendance. Though the weather was not always in our favour, I am still thrilled with all that happened. From our organizing end things went well – there were no show-stopping glitches, we learned lots and no one died! I was certainly very… Read More Convention: More than a Survival Story
BC’s youth convention is called Historymaker. This year the theme is “revolution” with a focus on the word “love” at the core. The desire is for young people to recognize that every long-lasting, innovative and life-giving movement began in love. Moreover, the hope is that people come to understand that a revolution of love is… Read More rEVOLution
BC’s provincial capital is a great place with aged European style buildings, small shops and street side cafes. We have just concluded TimeOut (an event designed to connect children, youth and young adult pastors from across the province). It was great to see over 100 people attend and have a chance to recharge amongst their… Read More A Little Island Time
This past weekend Amber and I got to be a part of an event designed to engage pre-teens. SPARK Kelowna was an amazing time where nearly 300 pre-teens came together and it was a great time. The energy level was off the chart, the sumo suits were plump, the luggage was overstuffed for a 2… Read More SPARKing a Little Something
