Fri, 07 Aug 2009 00:58:33 -0500

We spent the Tuesday after camp going to Whistler Mountain for a look interesting. what amazing scenery. we really got a look into what it will be like for the Winter Olympics next year in January. then on Wednesday we hired a taxi and went to the Christian bookshop and 2 malls to do last minit shopping. cloths, shoes are so cheep there. it was a nice time to wind down after our trip and reflect on what we had done. also on Wednesday at 8:15 pm we where on our way home again. the plain left a little eariler than expected we had a good flight only 12.5 hrs which got us back to New Zealand at 5:15. We are now home. its strange we actually lost a day while flying. we left on a Wednesday and landed on a Friday we lost Thursday somewhere along the way.

Hi we have Juatr apent the weekend camp in a nicew place by the sea. was really nice to meet all the campers and see how much ws the same and how much is different than our camps in New Zealand. Kevin & Jan gave a great message through the message on the sower and the seed. the over all them was summed up by "Who's the greatest sower. JESUS" it was nice spending time with campers and quality is the best. With the extra hot weater some people where sunburnt, otheres became quite dehidrated. so there was allot of reminding to put on sunblock, and drink lots. over all it was an excellent camp. we have made some life long friends at this camp exchanging emails etc. Today Monday 3rd August is British Collumbia Day national holiday here.

Everything is moving so fast. yesterday we went to a wonderful historic village preserves as it was. there where some buildings that have been relocated from around Canada. the highlight was a ride on the authentic carousel or merry-go-round with the horses. it had been modified for wheelchairs amazing. We all loved going for a ride. also there was a classic Model A Ford car that we could go for a ride around the village in what a nice trip back in time. Today we went around getting stuff ready for camp. having to drop stuff there this afternoon. Tomorrow we will be going to camp for the weekend 10 am Friday till 2pm Monday what a long time at camp. Will try to post something before we leave but if not will update you after we get home. Thanks all Joy Ministries team.

Hi we are having a good time doing allot of things. we have been all over Vancouver taking people to and from our activities. Saturday was a day of rest for us. on Sunday we left at 8:30 am and after 2 services and with all the pick up and drop-off plus lunch we did not get home to after 6pm. what a long day. the main church service was from 10-12pm and we where even invited to join in with the worship. lunch was followed by another service in a group home (similar to a resthome or nursing home) for thoes who cannot get out. on Monday we again tripped around Vancouver. we went to a lake and saw interesting dragonflies and people fishing. the scenery is amazing. then we drove up Cyprus mountain and saw a lovely view of of the city. lunch was spent in a nice park in a nice forest between the tall maple and other trees. after dinner we decided to go on the sky Train (google it its amazing). basically it has no drivers and runs on multiple layered track. man its so fast like a built. we went for a short trip and court 2 trains to get to the bus ferry. this was about 10:30pm we went for a short walk on the other side although the shops where closed it was still nice to see the city from the other side. it was like going to devenport and looking back at Auckland city at night. Today David and the team had organised a group picnic at a farm park with some of the group homes in Richmond. THe people at the park actually put on a wonderfull lunch. we had a nice time of singing & dancing, and some fun games. now after this we went and had a look in one of the small shoping centers.

Finally we are here

On Saturday the woman folk went out Shopping. Us blokes went with Dave to drop of some important paper work for the camp next weekend. In the afternoon we all went to set up for church and practice music and things for the church service.Today we went to church this was so fun.

Sight Explanation

Jam'n 4 Jesus (J4J) This is a term God gave me one day. Jam'n or Jamming: to fill often to excess: PACK Jamming (dance), cheered show-offs during social dancing. Jam'n in the context of Jamming for Jesus means that any one who is considered to be doing this is packed or filled up with Jesus in their life. Look at these passages from the bible. Ephesians 5: 18 Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit. Philippians 1:9 --11 And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ-to the glory and praise of God. We can see that Jam'n 4 Jesus is to be filled with Jesus, His Spirit (the Holy Spirit), and His righteousness. If we are filled with His Spirit then we should produce signs in our lives. Like a healthy tree that produces good fruit. Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
