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.

Christmas day is coming to a close for me and I have to say that I am riduculously full of holiday goodies (and a huge root beer float). And I have concluded that this is a good thing, a very good thing. Merry Christmas!
ONTARIO – I am now in one of the sprawling suburbs of Toronto. It is great to be with my family and see my friends. There is just something so familiar about it all. That familiarity reminds me, that despite my stint in BC for college and now being an official resident for 2 months,… Read More Of British Columbia and Beirut
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
It has been an eventful 11 days here in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia. Amber and I attended an ordination conference just outside the town of Chilliwack.
