Throughout my time in St. John’s, NL I have seen God use people in many different ways to minister his grace. I have seen people come together and pray over a brother in Christ who is hurting. They did not simply pray a few words but placed their hands on the man and wept over him.

Over the next few weeks we will be introducing you to the next session of cadets, the Prayer Warriors, as we listen to their story in their words. They will come to us from Bermuda and all across Canada. Please keep the Prayer Warriors in your prayers as they begin their journey at CFOT. God bless you and thanks for surfing our wave.

Grand Falls - Windsor is full of opportunities for ministry. Last week I had the privilege to perform a baby dedication at Grand Falls Citadel. It was something that I had never done before, and there was some hesitation on my part as to how to conduct the dedication ceremony.

One thing I have recently heard is that a Minister’s job is both pastoral (caring for those within the church) and missional (reaching out to those outside our church doors).

Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine is a city of contrasts. There is a large segment of the population which lives in poverty, worse than anything I have seen in Canada yet the number of upper class citizens is growing, and unfortunately, with little concern for social justice.

Rebecca Pretty writes from her summer assignment in Regina: ” I must decrease so that Christ can increase.” For the past few days I have been thinking about this and yesterday, God allowed me to see it with my own eyes as I sat in the office here in Regina preparing for VBS.

There is no doubt that to minister in God’s grace, I must minister by God’s grace. It becomes evident in my daily journey through my summer assignment in St-Jérôme, Québec. I have to do things in a way that I had never done before. I am used to taking one issue at the time, and bringing it to a conclusion with a minimum of interference from the rest of the world!
Praying Scripture – Leviticus 20:8
Keep my decrees and follow them.
I am the LORD, who makes you holy.
Living Scripture - Psalm 24:3
Who may ascend the mountain of the LORD?
Who may stand in his holy place?
The one who has clean hands and a pure heart,
who does not trust in an idol
or swear by a false god.
CFOT was pleased to welcome special guests Colonels Floyd and Tracey Tidd to our In Sunday on January 22, 2012.
The focus of their message was “Hope” and cadets and officers shared stories of life situations that may have seemed hopeless but which eventually brought them to know hope.
This In Sunday was also blessed by the attendance of our Field Based Training cadets – Peck-Ee Wong and Leonard Heng, and Kim and Darryl Burry (and their family).
