Coming Home to Kelowna for Nov 1st 2010

Well the inevitable end to a great ministry time has come. This lifestyle we have chosen comes with an eventual end to our time together. I mourn the end of our ministry time and the leaving of the people and the location. But it isn’t the end. We have made great, deep, life-long relationships as we gave ourselves 100%. It was fun. God really called us to strategically shift the atmosphere and celebrate their focus. The pastor and several leaders have created this culture of passion for His presence. I am convinced more than ever that God is planning a visitation here, so I became convinced that we were to teach the ‘glue’ that sustains revival from generation to generation. To focus on building relationships (or strengthening the horizontal love encounters), to establish royal identity and to teach the importance of remembering the testimonies and the promises of God.
So it is time for a new beginning for my family and this ministry. We don’t know where we are going next and starting over seems more difficult than staying in one location, building influence and relationships. I think this is why this isn’t a popular ministry choice, but I am aware that this is needed more than ever in a time like this. We will go where no-one will go. We will go where there is a hunger and no ability to sustain a school or a full time team. We will go and prepare the ground for those coming. We will leave a church hungry for more, strong, courageous and relentlessly pursuing God’s presence. A church that has a priority for His presence, is focused on building up the body and is engaged in strategically deploying it’s members into the community to be Christ’s hand extended – will see revival in it’s community.
So pray for us so that we will know what the next place is that we are supposed to go to. For now we are headed to Kelowna, BC. Canada, awaiting our next deployment. Which may in itself become our sortie for a season.
Cheers,
g.
