Amazing privilege. Thank you.



"I believe that college students are more mobile, more willing to try something new, and more radical for whatever cause they believe in than people typically are at other stages of life. College is often the most influential time in a person’s life for all the ways it shapes them into the kind of man or woman they will become." - College ministries director, Chad Kincer @ Austin Stone Church,TX.

He stole the words right out of my mouth. Not actually, but I couldn't agree more with his words. Campus ministry is incredibly important and I am so thankful to have such a privilege to reach the students at Uvic and Camosun with the heart and truth of God in Jesus Christ.

Thank you for all who are and have supported us! We are at 97% of budget, which is a great blessing to us, so thank you again!

Love is in the Air



Quick update:

Bethi, Isaiah, and I had a couple weeks of vacation which consisted of visiting friends and family in Whitehorse, spontaneously baptizing a good friend at church, having a week of sand in my shoes and joy in my heart at Camp Yukon (being a cabin counselor), being stuck on a plane for 12 hours, lots of mosquito bites, a restful week at the cottage and on the beach, and a delightful anniversary with my wife Bethi (here's a photo of our wedding 2 years ago if you missed it).
Now, as I enjoy the blessings of marriage-life, I am gathering resources, giving advice, and helping two couples as they prepare to get married next month (one of which I am excited to officiate).  As I prepare our ministry for September's crazy-busy-times, please pray that I would be given extra grace from God to prepare these couples for life-long faithful marriages. 
You can also pray for Jannus and Skyeblu (Aug 17th) and David & Emily (Aug 24th).
