1 Family + 1 Motorhome + 1 Year = Our Journey of Faith.

We are a Family. A family of 7. 1 Mom, 1 Dad, 5 Children, and 2 Dogs. We believe in One God, Jesus Christ, The God of Heaven and Earth. A God of Forgiveness, a God of Grace, and a God of Miracles. We have embarked on a 1 year Journey. A Journey Of Faith, which, Lord willing, will take us Across North America and transform our lives, and our Faith forever. We believe that as we travel, the Lord will continue to train us and prepare us for Mission's work in Africa, and use us to touch peoples lives, to minister Gods grace and healing, and to advance His Kingdom on Earth.

Join us, Follow us, Pray for us, as we learn to Live by Faith.

Seeing into the spirit...

Some people and some places have destiny written all over them. La Loche is a small northern community in saskatchewan, with a population of about 7000 people between the town and adjoining reservation. There is a small Catholic church, but the only evangelical church here is Clearwater River Church pastored by my brother in law Jon and his wife Sherrie. The mission field here is ripe for the harvest. Standing in the empty sanctuary this evening I could feel the Lords presence so strong. My eyes were opened in the spirit and I could see the whole place packed to the rafters with people, their worship filling the building and overflowing out over the lake. We've been to La Loche before. Every time we have been here we have felt the darkness so strong, like a heavy weight bearing down on us. This time as we drove into town it was different. The spiritual strongholds here are cracking and breaking. They will not stand against the light and the truth for much longer. Pray to the Lord of the harvest that He would send laborers here to minister among some of the most hurting and broken Canada has to offer. We are so blessed to be here. God is breaking our hearts for the native people here, for the children and youth. Lord break down all our pride, all our judgements, all the racism, hate, and anger that exists between us and the native people. We are all Gods children.

Thanks for journeying with us
