Patient Enduring
I, John, am your brother and your partner in suffering and in God’s Kingdom and in the patient endurance to which Jesus calls us. Rev 1:9 Patient Endurance. I started a study on the book of Revelations. In the first chapter, I was grabbed by these words, and I dwelled on them for quite a while. Patient endurance. What does that mean? What does that look like? Why is this part of how Jesus calls us? I like to think that I am a patient, calm person. Waiting and enduring in this process of life. Waiting for residency papers, waiting to travel, waiting for ministry, waiting for groups and visitors, waiting for direction and guidance; waiting. To have the strength and ability, the endurance, to embrace fully, this life, this country, this culture and language. To endure through times of transition. To endure through the times of joyfulness or sadness. But I have to admit, I’ve been impatient and frustrated in these processes. Sometimes really, really frustrated. I question my ‘endurance’, question my direction and question myself. But I also have to admit that I have been called; I placed my life in His hands. I only need to continue walking forward. Saying Yes. Patiently Enduring. What did this look like in May? Let me start by sharing about life […]
Stepping forward in complete surrender and faith …..
The Lord says “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you.” Ps 32:8 Before I update you all on what’s been happening and what is going to be happening (as much as I know at this moment); I want to say Thank You. Thank you for your support, your prayers, thank you for everything. There has been so much done over the past few months that I am sure I don’t even know all what has been looked after. But I have been looked after, cared for; and continue to be. And I am grateful for your loving kindness and care. I continue to learn to receive and allow others to care for me. There are some of you who know better than I do what I need. I am reminded often that I cannot do this on my own I had taken the past month rest, discern, and begin healing. I was able to take intentional time in Norquay, Saskatchewan (how many of you have to look on a map for this?) with wonderful friends. I enjoyed God’s paintbrush and reflected and learned (learning) to Be Still and listen. I was asked there to share about ‘where I am at on this journey’. Well, I can’t tell you […]

There is power in community and it is shown in mighty ways. Prayer sustains us, uplifts us, encourages us. It connects us is ways we really can’t explain; but we know when others are praying for us don’t we?! 2020 has been such a challenging, difficult and yet exciting adventure of a year for all of us. Challenging and difficult in so many different ways. Changes in how we do ministry together; losses of loved ones; losses of plans and dreams. Exciting adventures as God took what we saw as a horrible circumstance and wove […]
