My website is kinda down for a few reasons. My host dhsonline.org is kinda messed up so all my pictures don't show. Also, this summer has been so crazy that I never have the oppourtunity to write on this blog, let alone even write down anything that has been going on. A quick update, I'm in Vancouver right now with Billy, and if I could post pictures of Freddy I would... but I can't... maybe Billy's website will have them. He looks like a deer. Literally.

I'm sorry I haven't been posting anything as of late. There is one thing I'd like to share.
I'll be joining a short term mission trip with a native reserve. It's with Toronto Korean Pres. Church, along with fellow brother Matthew Lau. I wasn't planning on doing missions this summer, but I guess God has his way of breaking into our schedules when he needs to eh?
The original plan for that team was to go for their 5th year into a Native Reserve located in Longlac (10 hours north of the city). However, cuz of unforeseeable circumstances of the reserve not being too pleased with Christians bombarding their children with God stuff and the whole SARS deal, the reserve put up barriers against the team going in.
God wasn't through yet.
Now, 15 youth with Parental permission were allowed to come out of the reserve and join the team in a 2 week conference/retreat/getaway. My prayer is that during this time God can really get a hold of their lives and transform em, and then send them back into the reserve to be beacons within the lost people.
How did I get to be a part of the mission?
Weird... I don't even know the rest of the team. Matt asked me last Thursday if I was interested. AT that time, I was so bogged down with having to find a job for the summer. Guilt was written over everything I tried. I felt so bad. Before my retreat at MSBC, I came to the Lord, telling him that I didn't need a job to feel sustained or of purpose, and that if I wasn't to work for the rest of the summer, I was hoping that He'd fill in the rest. And boy did he. I learned so much at that retreat... and when I got back my heart was at so much peace and joy in my newfound discovery of worship, and when Matt asked me again on Tuesday night, my heart lept for joy as God's calling for my summer to unravel was met. So I will be joining them tmrw (monday) night, helping Matt lead worship with 20 songs (10 of which I don't even know!!!) and whatever the Lord can use me for the rest of the time there!
