I just got back from Germany this week, went to work for one day, and now I’m back in Toronto for a weekend with mom and dad.
Germany was quite amazing, I probably won’t do a post about it because I’m lazy, but it was a short one day trip to come ridge, then the train rides to Germany, and then the wedding and touristy things.
I saw the dom cathedral in Cologne, the Beethoven house in Bonn, and the huge coal mine taubertham(sic) by Julich Germany.
This weekend I went to the Gideons banquet.
We had a wonderful supper and I met Joel the Cambodian missionary and Division leader, Andrew the Alberta Division leader, and two others whose names I have barely remembered.
I also met Michelle Dw____, and a bunch of other people who knew my parents through the Gideons
We watched a short doc about the 250 000 bibles that Samson documented and requested in India in the B____ region. It was put together by the long haired Max ____, the Gideons ceo(?), and filmed and edited(?) by Amy Kennedy.
Basically it was a huge call for bibles and ministry for the Indian rural area, takes 34 hours to walk to the nearest city, an ethnic cleansing and bible burning a few years ago in 2008, 350,000 new names since the 250,000 bibles had been handed out, 500 pastors making those bible requests
Called the Samson Project
Church at Calvary Church

So pray to the lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into the fields.

Acts 4:29-31 NIV
“Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness. Stretch out your hand to heal and perform signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus.” After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.”
“Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains.”
