I'm leaving for Cuba in 2 days....
I've been kind of lazy and slow in editing all the pictures I've taken at various events this summer:
Brian's Wedding
Paul and Cyn's Jack and Jill
Jesse's Engagement Party
Paul and Cyn's Wedding
I'm just about done with Brian's Wedding. Hopefully I'll finish the rest in the next month...I know I'm slow...
I want to post the pics somewhere but I haven't come across any photo websites I really like yet....any ideas!?

24 Hour Worship
This coming Saturday is another 24 hour worship.
These worship times have been going steadily once a month for the past several months and involve many, if not all of the churches that initially started Toronto's Global Day of Prayer event.
Last month the 24 hour worship was at Karyn's church, Castlefield Community Church. This month it will be at my church, Toronto Lifespring Christian Fellowship.
If you or your church are wanting your church to become more involved with what is happening around Toronto, this is a great way to get connected. Come out, worship and if you like, even volunteer to lead an hour or two of worship next month! My church building is labelled as Willowdale Pentecostal Church and it's located on Cummer Avenue between Yonge St. and Bayview.
The worship team from my church will be closing off the worship event this saturday from 7-9pm. If you want to come, you are all more than welcome! Come out, worship God and find out what He is doing in our city!

Where are the chinese!???
I've had some time to think about this past weekend and the Global Day of Prayer. God really mobilized His people to pray for our city and our country this past sunday.
I was overjoyed and at the same time, heart-broken. Let me explain. I was so happy that so many people came and so many people prayed. At the same time, I realized there was something missing. Almost every nationality was represented except for one, chinese people.
WHERE WERE ALL THE CHINESE CHURCHES? The planning committee phoned TWO HUNDRED chinese churches trying to get them to come out and what happened!? Hardly any came. How could they pass up on joining the rest of world in prayer? I was so disappointed to hear the responses they gave when asked if they want to participate:
"We're doing our own thing"
"The airport church is involved? I don't think we should join"
"We'll hand out the flyers but we won't really push for it"
What lame excuses.
"For I know their works and their thoughts; the time is coming to gather all nations and tongues. And they shall come and see My glory."
Isaiah 66:18
The chinese churches need to wake up and smell the coffee. I can't wait until God comes and rocks the boat in these churches, they need it. I say that lovingly, believe it or not!

Post GDOP thought...
Many of you reading this do not believe in God and do not believe in Jesus.
One of the reasons I believe in Jesus is because I see a world, city and society that is dying. Society is becoming more advanced and yet the quality of life is rapidly deteriorating. Families are distant, crime may be on a slight decline, but is becoming more violent and involving younger and younger people. I could go on and on. I've seen it, experienced and lived it. This world needs answers and no one can give them.
I challenge you to pick up a Bible and see for yourself what Jesus says. The Gospel of Jesus Christ just might change your life.
