The Best Outreach Ever!

This weekend all 26 of us packed our bags and crossed the water over to Victoria! We left early Friday morning and returned home four days later on Monday night. It was a great weekend, so much happened that it's hard to remember it all! Not only was it the best outreach to read about, but this time I finally have pictures! WOW! I've been having some camera problems, but it takes ok pictures if you give the camera a little love.

We got to spend some time with Bruce Friesen on Friday after we arrived that afternoon. We spent most of our time with Bruce and serving the church he pastors, Lion of Judah. It's a great church, there's a lot of freedom and a lot of room for God to move how He wants to. It's a different atmosphere than most are used to and I really liked it. I was really able to see Bruce's heart this weekend and that was one of my favorite things about the weekend. On Friday we also spent some time cleaning up and doing whatever the church needed us to do to get ready for a womens conference they were having the next day. With all of us working, everything got done really fast.

On Saturday all the girls attended the womens conference at Lion of Judah. Heather Clark was the speaker and she gave a lot of insight on the the many roles women have and how she sees our ability to "do it all." Some of the girls stayed at the conference and a few worked in the nursery and child care just serving and helping out as we could. It was a good day. While all the girls were at the conference all the guys were out in Victoria doing an outreach ministering to homeless teenagers and children. They had a number of really good encounters there and it was great to see how they were a light to those kids.



Sunday we helped out with Lion of Judah's morning services. After the services we did prophetic teams and were able to encourage people, it went over really well. That night Heather Clark did a worship night and spoke again. I really enjoy ministry so Sunday was great!

Monday was our free day in Victoria! In the morning we spent some time with Bruce and that was another one of my favorite parts of the weekend, that's when I could see Bruce's heart the most. He's a great guy, he's one of my favorites. After spending some time with Bruce we went downtown and shopped a bit and walked around and got a chance to see the city. I spend the day with Anthony and Chris, it was a fun day. I love Victoria!

God bless the Steepers for their great hospitality!

Not only did we have a great time in Victoria, but an engagement came out of it! Cameron proposed to Julie and of course she said yes! We're so excited for them. Just thought I might throw that in at the end of this wonderful update.

Thanks to Anthony Acevedo for some of the pictures.
