We began this journey of being Global Workers as part of the IM Apprenticeship. This category is a record of our thoughts and experiences throughout our 3 year time as apprentices in Canada and in Slovakia.
Ah Turkey – a lovely country rich in history, touched with pleasant weather and yes, favorably located on the Mediterranean Sea. Currently we are attending the Eurasian Missions Conference in Turkey. And though there is definitely some time to relax and enjoy our surroundings (just imagine us screaming our way down water slides as German… Read More What’s Not to Love?
Dressed up in countless shades of red, orange and yellow, Ontario really is the most beautiful in the fall. As a bonus, it has been remarkably warm and sunny and we have ventured outside in t-shirts to soak in the full autumn expereince. Our time here has been good on a number of levels. It… Read More Okay, so it’s a Stock Photo
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
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

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
In a true display of unpredictable West Coast weather, the past three days have brought everything from glorious (and much needed) sunshine, to rain, to hail and now there are huge, fluffy snowflakes falling to the ground. It is the perfect day to enjoy the great indoors – despite the fact that there is work… Read More From Rain to Sun to Snow
For those of you wondering, the afore mentioned Apple of Alberta’s Eye is none other than the West Edmonton Mall (to be called The Mall hence forth). Amber and I are currently attending a conference called Transitions – it is a whole lot of training for new missionaries. I must admit that my brain is… Read More The Apple of Alberta’s Eye
I arrived back in Canada yesterday and am I ever jet lagged! There is just something special about being wide awake at 2am! Turkey is a beautiful country. The history, architecture and natural beauty is simply phenomenal. Attending the Eurasian Missions Conference was a great opportunity to connect and learn. There were numerous moments of… Read More Turkish Teachable Moments
