hi Leah , lovely to meet you and thanks for your comments on my prayer post . It was bourne of much suffering and what I had thought was "unanswered prayer" but our Lord has given me stronger faith in His love

Thanks Leah! I look forward to getting to *know* some new faces! Bless you!

Hello Leah,

 

Thank you so much for sharing. It was such an encouragement for me to read your story. Vancouver Island is such a beautiful place, you are blessed to live there. I am also a fellow Canadian...born in Hamilton,Ontario.

My discontent escalated after being involved in a large non- denominational church with a $43.5 million building project in Orlando, FL. It was complete craziness & church became all about the building. I felt lead to write a book, but really did not want to because that isn't my gift. I then found Frank Viola's books and drove in and was so THANKFUL for them. My desire is to be part of an Organic church, but am feeling challenged w/ finding like- minded believers. I do remind myself that God's timing is perfect, so I pray for patients too!

Again thank you so much for sharing my sister in Christ!

 

In Him,

Andrea

Hello Leah,

It is a blessing to know you are gathering w/ other believers! What a gift. How did the Lord orchestrate "the coming together" of the group? Are you perhaps going to the Organic church conference in Orlando?

May the Lord bless you w/ all that He has for you.

Rejoicing with you,

Andrea

Hi, Leah. I just now came across your note to me posted May 12. Thank you for your update. That was our travel day back from a 3 week trip to the UK, primarily in Scotland and Wales, where we hiked and climbed to have our breath repeatedly taken away by the deposits of God's beauty upon the landscape there. He is so stunningly amazing in His works!

I'm particularly pleased to read these words withtin your note: "... we are seeing something so precious emerging that it is hard to articulate. In all of this my love for Jesus is growing so deeply as I begin to see Him in others. Now I am looking for Him and finding Him." He rewards those who look for Him by letting them find Him!

Leah, please be encouraged to sustain your vigilance in being attentive to Him. Discovering Him can never be exhausted. He is so inexhaustible, that I suspect that for eternity we will be in awe as we continue to learn of Him. Ready for eternal awe?

May you have the blessing of experiencing His growing revelation in the context of partnership with others. It truly is among the best fellowship we can have on earth!

Jim

Thank you for you for your friendship and blessings!  I am blessed to be led to this site and have the ability to fellowship with other like minded people.  I look forward to knowing you better!

Many blessings and peace to you,

Andrea

Hi Leah, It is good to meet you. Unfortunately I did not get to go and hear Jon Zens. However, it is exciting to see the number of Canadians being called to participate in God's plan for His people. Blessings, Rob

"I see you are from Calgary. That is my home town. My husband Dave and I are very new to this concept but wow what a wonderful journey we are on. Were you or anyone you know at the the weekend that Jon Zens spoke at recently in Calgary. I have come to appreciate Jon very much. His writing for sure and the bit of contact via email. Good to see there  are some Western Canadians on board."

 

Hi Leah - like your page look forward to knowing you more and thanks for the feedback on facebook. I also am praying our family will get to Canada soon

Hi, Leah. I like your analogy that it's a little like learning to walk on water. Our history has also included 40+ years in a denominationaal setting, primarily in leadership roles, but it has also included a growing awareness, over a period of roughly a decade, that our lives were not in sinc with what we saw in scripture. We wish, now, that we had acted more deliberately, sooner, upon what God was communicating to us in many ways. He has been so gracious. Blessings upon you both and upon those whom He brings into your life. Another site that may be helpful to you is simplechurch.com . The membership is quite large, and I believe that there are several B.C. folks there -- at least one with whom I've interacted who lives on the Island -- Victoria as i recall. There are search tools on these sites that can be used to locate folks by name or location.
