Cranbrook/Trail- CLA Interns 2010

Friends!! Here are just a few pictures from a recent ministry trip with 6 Interns from my home church, Christian Life Assembly in Langley BC. I actually went along with these awesome young people, not as their leader but as the 'drummer' and the guy who 'tried' key word is 'tried' to take care of the money!!! We drove to Trail BC (what a gorgeous part of BC!! Wow!!) where Justin Schwaab led worship and Steven Barks shared his testimony and the whole team did a real powerful drama to music.
That night we stayed with an awesome couple in Castlegar who were just awesome hosts, and the next morning we drove to Cranbrook. We stayed at Abundant Life church where Pastor Jonathan and Pastor Carol took care of us, along with members of their church. We were able to help out in a few practical ways as well as putting on a VBS for some local kids on Saturday afternoon and an hour or so on Sunday afternoon.
Schwaab led worship on Sunday morning and after having some great fellowship with the Pastors, former and Present, we hit the road the next morning back to the Fraser Valley.

Please Pray for Me!!

I just wanted all you guys who read this blog to be in prayer for me. For those of you who do pray for me, thanks a ton. God really does honor the prayers of a Righteous man! Your prayers are powerful and are a weapon against the plans of the enemy.
Last night I had a great talk with a spiritual father of mine. He confronted me about a few things, and though my face went red and it was difficult to take, I respect him a ton for having the godly courage to speak with me. I need to be a son in the faith cause I need to be accountable. I love it when people speak into my life and tell me where I need to shape up, especially when it’s done by those who love me and want what is best for me.
I want to go deeper in my relationship with Jesus Christ, I want to know God intimately and I desire Him to satisfy me in everyway. The Bible speaks about how we can walk in a Covenant relationship with the Lord, not just always relying on the mercy and grace of God.
We can walk in that marriage type relationship with our Lord and it’s there where we have authority, a greater anointing, intimacy, favor and blessing.
Whenever I step out to walk in this kind of relationship I feel like all hell breaks loose and I am tempted around every corner. The Word speaks about ‘ what I desire to do, I don’t do, and what I don’t want to do, I do.’ That seems to sum up my walk with God so often.
Please pray that God would empower me with His Spirit, and strengthen my faith by the Word, so that I can overcome the flesh, and all its desires, and walk in a Covenant relationship with the Lord. This is the cry of my heart, this is what I am desiring above all things. That Jesus would increase and I would decrease and God would be able to use me.
Please pray for me guys, I covet your prayers and can’t win this battle on my own.

Future Plans!!

Guys!! How is everyone doing? I pray you all had a great summer!!
I had an amazing summer seeing good friends and family members and was able to take some sweet road trips!
I just wanted to let you all know what my plans were for the fall and for the new year.
This fall I will be teaching a course for the 2nd year Interns at CLA and working part-time, as well as being around my church family and enjoying life in North America!! (So if you see me at every basketball game in the Fraser Valley don't be surprised!)
I have also decided to go to YWAM in Perth, Australia (Where my little sister Nadine has been for 10 years) and attend a School of Music in Missions (SOMM).
The main reasons why I am going there is number 1- to be in a strong Christian Community where I know I will be challenged and will grow in my faith, number 2- to improve as a musician and worship leader so I can teach about music and worship in a greater way back in Asia, and number 3- to gain a fresh perspective on God, life, ministry and what it means to follow Christ.
(Lecture Phase $3,900 Au/ $4-5,000Au Outreach Phase/ $550Au Australian Visa/ $2,000Au- Plane Ticket)

On another note, the ministry in Cambodia is carrying on and God is using Harley Voogd, Patrick Meir, Carin McCoy, Srai Sim and all our Cambodian staff members and volunteers to do great things.
A Safe House project is currently in the beginning stages and our Church planting ministry that includes an English School, a Music School, and 29 Home Churches with other evangelistic ministries are still continuing on.

If God is speaking to you about partnering with our ministry in Cambodia, or about partnering with me as I plan on attending this
School of Music in Missions with YWAM in Australia, you can make out Cheques to:
'A and D World Missions' and send that Cheque to - A and D World Missions, PO Box 26010 Centre Village Mall,
Lethbridge, Alberta, T1H 6H4

**** If you want your support to go to CAMBODIA, please write 'Cambodia' on the memo line of the Cheque****
****If you want to partner with me as I attend the SOMM in Australia, please write 'JOEL' on the memo line****
(All Donors will receive Tax deductible receipts for their donations)

Thanks again for your prayers and support!! Together we can work together and play our part in the Great Commission!

Bella Coola Trip!!

Guys!! Just wanted to ask you all to pray for me and a bunch of guys that are heading to Bella Coola (Northern BC) this Thursday. (Ralph Peters of CLIMB Ministries has headed up this trip for the last four years with his brother Ron.)
We will be in Bella Coola for 2 nights where some guys will be playing music and I will have a chance to share the Gospel. On Sunday morning a few guys will be sharing the Word and myself and another guy will be leading worship.
We will also be constructing the form for a concrete pad in Redstone, on which a building will be built in the future.
I am believing God for 100 souls on this trip and break through in the lives of the first nations people that we meet.
Please pray for protection as we drive and that no matter what happens, Jesus Christ would be glorified and people would leave the Kingdom of darkness and enter the Kingdom of light!!
I should be back on the 14th and would still love to get together with many of you!

Alberta Trip!!

Family, how are you all doing? I just came back from a short trip to Alberta where the Lord just blessed my boots off!! I was in West Edmonton on August 15th where I had the honor of sharing at Victory Church on the Rock. Pastor Jonathan Krenz and his family were the ultimate hosts and it was a real blessing to get to know them as well as his Church family.
On the 16th I took a bus to Red Deer and then got picked up by Peter and met his wife Wanda later that night. We camped by the Red Deer river, rode their 3 horses for a couple days on some spectacular trails, ate some unreal food and just had great Christian fellowship.
Living like a cowboy for a couple days was a dream come true, so here are a few shots from that experience.
I pray that all who read this would fall in love with Jesus more and more!!

Anybody weary?!!!

If somebody were to ask me that I would raise both hands in the air and say "YES!!" As Christians who are living lives of faith and constantly going against the grain of this world, becoming weary is just a fact of life.
The Lord Jesus says, " Come to me all you who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest." What a promise!! What an awesome word from the Lord that gives us hope for the future!! When we come to the Lord in humility, with surrendered wills, and just begin to spend time with our Creator, He will give us rest!! Peace of mind is restored, heaviness is restored with Joy, bitterness is replaced by forgiveness and we can just 'LIVE' like we were meant too!
If you haven't come to the Lord lately in an intentional way, I really encourage you to take time out of your busy day to do that!
Blessings
JR
