a brief excerpt

"If the Church's worship is faithful, it will eventually be subversive of the culture surrounding it, for God's truth transforms the lives of those nurtured by it"

June in review

Months are flying by...

Half of my time in Thunder Bay is gone now. And it is going faster than I can even imagine, right now I am very tired. Meanwhile I stopped writing this blog, went to bed, slept for 11 hours, did laundry, and have started processing a lot of things that have been going on in my life in the last week and a bit. My last week was a harder week than before, I was very tired, when the week started, and many emotions and challenges from the youth and Youthworks experience just added to this. Hearing that Craig died, is something that seems non-realistic, realizing that tomorrow the youth are going to come again, is also crazy. So, this week has been a whirlwind of events.

However, I have had the chance to have some amazing conversations with some of the youth, to spend time with them, work with them, and grow and be challenged with them. We were able to find a few new ministry opportunities, and it looks like the coming week, we get a new start, in which we will be able to see where God is taking us as a team.

Recent highlights include;

Having a very challenging, but awesome group with Justin bowling 216 (see picture)
Hiking through Sleeping Giant Provincial Park
Putting up Sheet Rock at O'Conner Baptist church

He willem, man dat is slecht nieuws. Ik weet hoe het is om iemand te verliezen en ik wens jullie alle sterkte toe, met het verwerken ervan. Ook zullen wij vanavond met onze bijbelstudie groep (grotendeels Shalomers) bidden voor hun famillie en vrienden. Moge God een rots in de branding zijn en de zware last van hun schouders nemen.
Gods zege,
Gerard
