the ‘official’ announcement went on monday about my summer 2009 ministry plans.
i’ll be taken a leave, of sorts (still doing some of my current work, at a distance), and serving as assistant director at camp medley. i’ve spend a few weeks over the past two summers as chaplain – amazing to see the lives of so many be transformed by the gospel.
i’ve had a few meetings with the director, elizabeth harding. so far, everything seems to be falling into place for the summer. we have a great team, who i am looking forward to serving with, some new names for me and the camp.
i have no doubt that it will be busy and crazy – but i live for those moments. especially when in the middle of chaos, you hear Father’s voice reminding you that he is in complete control and we just need to trust. i am often humbled by the awe-some opportunity that people have when they work at the christian summer camp. throughout the summer, we are given the opportunity each week to model the lifestyle that jesus demonstrated for us, to be an example of christian community (both shining and flawed) all while full of joy and excitement. i have left the past two summers feeling physically exhausted but re-energized by the transformation of campers after sharing the good news of jesus w
ith them.
i am looking forward with anticipation to serving with a great team and continuing to work with liz (shown at right) in planning for this opportunity.
if you’re in the maritimes, you might know of some kids or teens looking for a great week at camp. check it out.

when i returned from newfoundland in november, i was told that i was volunteered to serve on the planning committee for saint john’s part in epicentre new brunswick.
epicentre is run by the billy graham evangelistic association and has taken place in a number of cities across canada already. they chose to focus on new brunswick next.
it appears to be a great outreach, focused on youth – equipping young christian leaders and providing opportunities for youth to encounter Jesus through a large event this summer.
the website just launched. check it out for more details and the schedule.
1 john 3:11
this is the message you have heard from the beginning: we should love one another.
the way i see it #255
we will end poverty and stop hiv/aids within our generation when guided by african principles such as ubuntu that underscore our interconnectedness. with greater compassion for others, we would no longer accept hunger and disease as facts of life.
