With no classes and no trips this week, students focused on prayer and leadership. Each one signed up for two separate hours of prayer in the prayer room.  They creatively wrote down they're prayers and thoughts all over the room. By the end of the week, the empty room turned into a beautiful space where you could visually see the prayers between the students and God. read full post |

Weeks 23-25 MissionsMarch 5th, 2019 |

|
The last few weeks have been SO good.
The second week of February was filled with preparing to send off missions teams for the 13th - seven students to Mexico and ten students to inner city Vancouver.
This year has been one of the best decisions of my entire life. You helped me find the joy that I was missing for so long and in that see how great that joy is and allow it to impact every area of my life.
