God is at work.

Well it has been bit over 2 weeks since arriving in the dtes of Vancouver, it seems longer tho.. things are going well. I keep running into people that I met last year and a large portion of them remember me, it's a real blessing. to know that God touch them with' His love thro me. And I see a change in the lives of some these people, for the better, God is at work in their lives. which is awesome.

Well i have been in the Vancouver's DTES for 3 days now, well technically 2 days (cause yesterday i visited the teen camp at sunrise camp site)... As i have been walking around i have seen people that i have met last year (not the war college students, but other people whether they are street guys, or from harbour light)... some of them don't remember who i am at all, but then there are others that remember, not my name, but that they have met me and where they have met me.... it is such an awesome experience, however also a privilege. Cause these people thought that it was worth while remembering me.... And i must of had an impact on them to remember me, well i was only in Vancouver for 7 weeks last year, so any of the impact that happened would of had to be the working of Christ....
One of the Battle Schoolers for this year, said that they have heard about me from their friend that was here last year, and she was told that she would like me.... it was awesome to hear that one of the youth last year thought that highly of me that they would tell their friend about me... But again, if it was just me, there wouldn't of been an impact... it is only because of Christ that the impact was made.
Also since being back in Vancouver, i heard a report about one of the battle school youth from last year.... Jonathan know some of this person's relatives that live on the other side of the country, these relatives said that this person had changed heaps since battle school...
It is awesome that God allows me to be a part of His plans to impact the youth that come along....and i am also amazed about it as well.. ... And i Thank Him heaps for that opportunity.
Anyway, it is time that i should get some sleep.
God bless

my Journey to Vancouver

Well my Journey to Vancouver has been very interesting so far....
I flew out of Adelaide last night to Brisbane, the flight was good.... Once i got to Brisbane, i made my way to the international airport, where i spent the night sleeping on a couch there....
This morning i flew out of Brisbane... fairly tired, due to not much sleep the last few nights....
I got to watch 3 movies.... Amazing Grace, Firehouse dog and wild hogs.... it was good....
However during the flight, about an hour out from Taipie, i was sick.... it was heaps bad, i have never been sick on a plane before, i think a large part of me being sick was the lack of sleep. Any way i made it to Taipei, and out to the motel that i am staying at, which was complementry otherwise i probably would of stayed another night in an airport..
On the drive to the motel, we went pass a lot of buildings, that were in slum like conditions... and then we arrived at where i was staying and it was this huge mansion Golf Restort... definately not anything that i would usually stay in. And it was a in your face reminder of how different the world is.... there are people that have money and those who don't. One thing that was amazing that a night in this place cost someone about $30 Aus to stay there.... which makes you think how much to the people working here get paid.... and something more amazing is it cost more to play around of golf then what it cost to stay here.... it is $100 Aus to play a round of golf....
It is a real reality check.... and a good opportunity to discuss stuff along these lines with other people staying at the motel....
Anyway should go... and get some sleep.... cause i continue to Vancouver tomorrow.... i will actually arrive there 1/2 hour before i left here.... tiem wise anyway...
God bless.
