Walking through life, sometimes running, always falling…

Awesome Fellowship on Pender Island

without comments

This weekend has just been awesome!! We had a Men’s Bible Camp at the “Hope Bay Bible Camp” on Pender Island. [http://cssm.ca/hopebay/] The people who run the camp really are welcoming, it was the first time that they really opened during the fall/winter and its something they are wanting to do more of.

We took I think 14 guys from the A.R.C from Downtown Victoria, This is a rough place, A.R.C stands for Addictions Recovery Centre so the people there are looking for either a better life or a bed for the night and the group we took really came in contact with the Holy Spirit, this was the message for the weekend, understanding the Holy Spirit, what it is? Why you need to let it into your heart, a really well delivered message that caused people to open thier hearts to and let the Holy Spirit in and we also had a baptism in the ocean, the cold cold ocean. I was one of those baptised and I was givien a ToDo list of things I need to work on by the Holy Spirit.

Just this morning on the bus I was thinking allot about the weekend and listening to Jar’s of Clay and I was told “You, learn the guitar” so this is another thing to add to my todo list. I also have to pray and meditate alot on what my next step it but I also had some great fellowship time with people at camp, Shannon and I have some things in our past that are in common and he shared some of his experiences and wisdom with me and I want to thank everyone there for the work they allowed the Holy Spirit to do through them this weekend.

I have some digital photographs that I will be posting later.

Please also note that if your church is looking for a Bible Camp retreat please concider Hope Bay Bible Camp on Pender Island, I believe the rate is $35 dollars a person and they have great facilities and the island has some excellent activities also.
