I should firstly update you in my brother-in-law who is recovering well and had 95% of the tumor removed from his brain. I praise God for hearing the prayers of people we had praying all over the world for Derek. We were able to spend some camping with them this summer so I'm thankful once again for family and health.
The first few months of my summer were spent in Fort McMurray Alberta, a city notorious for low quality of life contrasted by the current financial goldmine found in the oil industry. Thankfully, God was gracious in helping my resist being sucked into the vortex of materialism during my stay but was able to minister to coworkers in Sportchek and Pizza Hut. I was reminded that regardless of where I am I need to preach the gospel and be about His Kingdom work. I met some wonderful people including muslims and mormons who I learnt and was inspired by. I still do pray that their eyes would be opened to Christ and that the enemy's deception would be shattered. I truly value my time with my friends Mike and Blair who I got to help move into their new house.
Now its back to the books!
This year I'll be learning the ancient language of Hebrews and hoping to better understand the Old Testament of the bible which I love so much. More importantly, as God has shown me through this summer how much he loves people. College is a place of study but more importantly a place of transformation. I can't wait to see what God will do in our individual lives and community.
Please pray that our hearts would be lit on fire with a love for the lost and that our studies would lead to deeper worship.
