So we say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?"
-Hebrews 13:6
What a week it's been at the Mission! Say what you will, but things are never dull for a second.
I'm amazed at how people have stepped up, waving the banner of Christ in defence of us.
The Prayer Session, led by Rick Corak and organized by Judy Trouiller our newest Outreach Worker. The countless emails and calls, complete strangers coming up to me (even in Kelowna!) with encouragements about the 'great job' that we're doing. And last, but not least -the amazing efforts of our 'Risk Management Committee.' (Mike Buffie, Ed Wooley and Terri Jones)
Three members of our community that have volunteered their time to bring awareness to all the positive things that are going on around the Mission and there are truly SO many positive things that are happening! It is our hope to bring attention to these all these praise reports through this blog and our website (coming soon!)
The latest news:
**The Mission will be closed on the weekends. This will allow us to be a full staff of four, 5 days a week. No Loitering will be strictly enforced during Mission hours
**The Mission will operate as drop in centre in the mornings, but for the afternoon our guests will either need to be in a program (Monday -Literacy/Life Skills, Tuesday -Change for Life -NA/AA meetings, Wednesday -Guest Newsletter/Literacy, Thursday -Sewing and Crafts, Friday -Alpha Course)
**Proper registration with photos will be mandatory for all guests of the Mission
To the credit of our guests, Registration went as well as we could have ever hoped.
So we move forward with anticipation to a new week, a new beginning for the Mission and the continued hope to see lives changed, and more and more people brought to Jesus.

CHANGES They keep happening whether we like it or not. Some are fun changes.... like getting my mind into commenting on a Blog. Closest thing I have taken to a Greek course.
Some are scary changes.... like a journey into the unknown. Maybe that is what "Life Change" might feel like for some of our guests. Not sure they want to go there!!! Let's pray for Andrew,Bev,Judy,and Randel as they begin new programs. May they help communicate the hope Corrie Ten Boom experienced while in prison during the Nazi era for protecting Jewish brothers and sisters. Corrie said,"There is no pit so deep that God is not deeper still." God can help us out when we commit ourselves to Him, no matter where we are, or where we have been.
