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.

Sleeping on the Sand ...

Its been a pretty crazy couple of days.  Praise God, he has been so faithful to us.  When we returned to the MH, the fridge had totally de-frosted and everything in it was moldy and stinky.  Oh well, you cant win them all.  We are learning so much.  Our time in La Loche was a rich time of learning, being able to see how the church in La Loche does Life and Mission in a remote northern community that is almost totally unsaved.  It was also a rich time of fellowship.  We met a lot of wonderful people who although are not in full time ministry are in love with Jesus and are on mission to change the face of Canada's north for Jesus Christ.  I had the opportunity this past sunday to tell the church in La Loche a little about our Journey, where we came from and where we are going.  It was exciting to be able to bring greetings and blessings from ROL in Lethbridge to the church there, and to be able to act as ambassadors of ROL everywhere we go.  

This sunday we will be at Living Hope church in Saskatoon.  We are excited to see what the Lord has for us there.  My brother in law and his family sent us off with about 400 tracts, so we will be giving those out and using them as another tool to share Christ on our Journey.  We're looking forward to a fun filled weekend visiting with old friends in Saskatoon, and then next week off to Wilderness Family Camp at Tobin Lake.  Its so hard to live in today, I keep looking forward to where were going and what were doing and I get so excited.

Earlier this week we all hopped on a boat and took off across La Loche Lake.  We found a remote beach, pitched our tents and had the most wonderful overnight camping trip I think we've had in a long time.  It was great, we brought the dogs on the boat, we tubed, and we slept on the warm sand.  As I sat on the bow of the boat watching the sunset over the lake my heart couldn't help but overflow with thankfulness and awe to our wonderful creator.  We are so blessed to have what we have, and to be doing what were doing.

Thanks for travelling with us on our Journey of Faith
