Thursday Devine

A bit chilly this morning here in Halifax and we could see our first snow fall of this year.

Meeting are going well and as always interesting and challenging.

Our lunch today was served by Lennett Anderson's mother what a treat and what a lady full of the Holy Spirit and a whole lot of abundant life. She would be a shinning example of passing on what we have been blessed with to the next generation in her son Dr. Lennett Anderson who just spoke and blessed us back in Lloydminster.

Barrett Judson who has ran in every election since the CHP started dropped in for a visit. CHP has been in Canadian politics now for 25 years. Always standing for the truth in God's word and every one's right to life from conception to natural death.

Met with Peter Vogel a young University student from Ottawa shared with us the encouragement he gets as he weekly checks the Battle River Camp Blog. How cool that a young university student in Ottawa reads the blog and shares it with friends because in his words it's always encouraging.

As we were being taught about marketing David with Marketing Navigator showed us a marketing commercial that he developed. It was when a German says what are you sinking about.

The biker moto;
I am a warrior and this is my song...
Winning the lost at any cost, reaching our world one heart at a time.

Matt 28:19-20 If listen to the song, you'll know why we reach the unreached, teach,The untaught and Love the unloved... May we be guided by the Holy Spirit in every aspect of our ministry!!!

The Battle River Ranch Camp is a one of a kind entry level faith based, trades and life skills opportunity facility. Offering an option to anyone that has been searching for an opportunity and is serious about finding out their area of strength and work place career possibilities.

Out hope and prayer is to let as many of you know about the ranch as possible so that the hope it will bring, the lives it will change and the encouragement it will provide can start as soon as possible.

The ranch will be a one of a kind facility and will offer an option to many like no other. When God has a plan and like our friends Mike and Pastor Lyle wisely told us just keep your focus and don't let the distractions pull you away from God's purpose.
Thank you once again for taking the time to view our blog.

We are a faith based and mentor based training facility and our hope is with the help of anyone that has a heart for helping so many to give each person that comes to the ranch an opportunity to find the skills they were created for.

Wednesday and we win

Great day of rest here in Enfield Nova Scotia at Pete and Fran's house. We got to get a few things organized and off to board meetings tomorrow.

The James gang have the roof sheeted and will complete the dormers today. We had another framing inspection on the lodge today and all is very good. Thanks to James stephan and James Friesen and all our volonteers for a great job.

As we share the vision of the ranch everywhere we travel near or far, God prepares the hearts of many to support and help is in whatever way they can.

Almost a year ago we shared in a friendly church at Whistler BC and as always we thank God for the opportunity and leave it in the care of the Holy Spirit. Well the other day we got an incredible blessing from that little church and a letter of great encouragement.

We have so much to do in building the kingdom of God, and how good it is that so many recognize it as that.

Blessing to all and please pray as we reach out to our eastern families and share the hope of a God that can and is building hope for our young and up coming generation right here in Canada.

Tuesday update

Great flight and as we are passing over Alsask into Alberta I thought I'd tell a bit about Mike a 4th year instrumentation apprentice from BC working out at Colonsay potash mine. As we got talking he shared about his family business that he works for and the good work ethics he has learned from his dad and brothers. So I had to tell Him about our family and then on to the ranch. He then asked me if we were Christians and that he also was and that's why life's so great. He took all the ranch info and plans to tell his family and pastor back home. We can never tire of doing and telling about what God had done in our lives right Larry.
Almost in Calgary now Diane is sound asleep, what a blessing that God provided so we could do this trip together PTL.
On the plane and off to Halifax , just met Marge and she works with young ontrapenuers this trip is going to be great.

Tuesday and walking the miracle mile












Our world all around us is crumbling because of the lack of hope. More and more money is being used and made to replace the needed hope in the lives of humanity. All in all it is bait to draw us away from an all loving and all caring God that said, we cannot live on bread alone but by every word that comes from God. Money is a lot like building your (life) foundation on ice, you have to keep your focus on making ice constantly because if you don't focus on making ice and lots of it, it will melt away and your foundation and strength will dissolve and slowly but surly flow away and you will crumble and fall and how would that look. Hmmm

Building our lives on the rock (Jesus) and we have a promise that nothing will be able to destroy this foundation. Why not start today to replace the ice as it melts with the ROCK. No one can force you to do anything but a friend will tell you the truth and then you will have a choice that counts for eternity. WoW go figure!!!!

Matthew 6:33

New International Version (NIV)

33 But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
