Last week Seth tried to come back up to Whistler, but the Border Patrol guy was a real jerk to Seth and wouldn't let him in. I'll let him tell the story as he was there and i wasn't. But one thing I know is that the Border patrol guy was nothing like this one.
Anyways, I'm really bummed that Seth isn't here, and will really miss him, but I'm trying to look at it in a positive way. I am sure that God has a much bigger and better plan than we can come up with, so we are just going with it. Its pretty strange actually, as when we both met with the pastor of the Community Church he had this really random word for us about the Cupbearer and the Baker in Genesis 40. I don't really know the timescale of it all, and obviously the crows arent pecking at seth's flesh. But it seems to fit to what has happened in the last week. So I dont know when Seth is coming back, or If God has something completely different for him. All i know is that I wouldn't have been able to move here and set such deep roots here without him. Its been an exciting adventure and i have had a blast. Live is a lot quieter without Seth around, thats for sure. It's been cool in a way because I have found myself spending more time with non-Christians through work and skiing with random people. I have also been meeting with a few people from the church to plan a 24-7 prayer event. So hopefully that should happen soon, depending on whether we can get a location to hold it. We are thinking of maybe an RV or a hotel room.
I'm actually really excited about it, when we met up to listen a few days ago, we got given Isaiah 62:6. It says: I have posted watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; they will never be silent day or night. You who call on the LORD, give yourselves no rest.
And also 52:8 (which is made even better by the verse that comes before it). It says:
Listen! Your watchmen lift up their voices; together they shout for joy. When the LORD returns to Zion, they will see it with their own eyes.
So we feel that we are called to be the Watchmen of Whistler, that we should have no rest, day or night and see with our own eyes the kingdom return to this place.
It seems fitting to hold a 24/7 prayer event.

- For the 24/7 Prayer event. For a location, and people to catch onto the vision of it.

Bit confused about the interpretation of Cupbearer and Baker in Gen 40. Maybe you could add your interpretation ie how the pastor interpreted it and or did it speak to you and what about Seth ? what does he think of the Baker picture?
The other cupbearer of course was Nehemiah who restored the city walls (Neh1:11) which is a very encouraging story worth reading again
I'm currently at the YWAM centre in Penang and they are having a 30 hour Watchmen prayer conference

Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins and will raise up the age-old foundations; you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls, Restorer of Streets with Dwellings. Isaiah 58:12
