Sasquach, Cavemen and a prayer closet.





Hey there. My apologies for not posting for so long. Blogging does not come naturally to me! Its been so long this update might be a bit all over the place.

The 24/7-prayer event went really well, It was held in this tiny hotel room that could comfortably hold about 3 people praying. One in the loft style bedroom, one in the living room/kitchen and one in the prayer closet. On my way in to do my shift at midnight, i was waiting at the bus stop and got chatting to this native guy sitting there. He asked me where i was going this late, so i said i was going to pray. I explained a bit more and he asked me if he could come and check it out. So on the half an hour bus ride we had this really in depth conversation which was probably 90% listening on my side. We talked about religion, Jesus (the time he spoke to him when high on acid), His 3 girlfriends, His involvement in drugs and alcohol, and Sasquatch. Anyways he came into the prayer room, checked it all out, but didn't want to pray or have me praying for him. He was totally disillusioned and confused about a lot of stuff, but i think God did something that night. Not sure what, but it felt like he did.

A group of us have been meeting up to pray in the village at ridiculous hours in the morning. Its been really cool, we have been prayer walking around the main part of the village. We have a route we take that just goes around the centre of town, sopping at random points to pray what we feel led to pray for. We are waiting for stuff to start falling down.

So i've moved home twice in the last month and a half, and need to move out again at the end of June. The place i'm living in now is awesome, i'm sharing it with a couple friends from church and its near the centre of whistler, we have been able to have people over, people crashing on the couch and a lot more freedom than i've had since i've moved here. Please be praying for a place to live somewhat like this, but a bit more permanent. I'm also slightly worried about my visa situation, and what is going to happen when my one year work visa expires in October. Why can't we just go back to the good old days when people just roamed about, not worrying about forms to fill out when settling down to make a life for themselves in a far away cave??
