This Is Now, That Was Then

The last couple of days I have spent observing Ben Woodman of our Alpha Youth Film Series as he has held meetings around Alberta. Tuesday he was in Medicine Hat and Lethbridge. I joined him, along with our Youth Coach Amy in Calgary on Wednesday and then for a stop in Red Deer.
 
You may recognize the trusty sidekicks; Ben, on the left, and Jason Ballard on the right, in this scene from the Film Series. 

 
However, you may not recognize the Jason of Grade 10 at Terry Fox Secondary School in years gone by. This was one of the video's Ben showed at these meetings. As you will see, Jason comes by his passion for youth honestly
Check this out.
                    
Today's meeting was at Beulah Alliance in Edmonton. Both Jason and Ben were there, and the same kind of passion is apparent among students in this city. The young team at Edmonton's Celebration Church alone is coordinating student-led courses in 15 high and junior high schools in the area. And this being driven in large part, if I am not mistaken in this, by the passion of one 16-year-old girl who attends there.

How amazing and how encouraging!

Blessings,

John

    This is so encouraging John. I remember seeing Jason in the leader training for Quest. I recall praying for him back then and I am amazed how God answered with more than I asked or imagined. It was such a great week! My heart is full. :)

Anglican Diocese of Athabasca Synod - Peace River Alberta  Friday Oct 13 I drove 5 hours to Peace River to make a presentation at the Synod of the Anglican Diocese of Athabasca. Bishop Fraser Lawton would love to see as many of his parishes as possible running Alphas. Many of the delegates are actually familiar with Alpha, although, having run it often in the moderately distant past, may not be so familiar with all of our new materials. So Friday evening's dinner was turned into a model Alpha supper, including jokes and the showing of the invitational first video of the relatively recent Alpha Film Series. This version is hosted by Toby and Gemma, a hip young pair of presenters, and targeted at the Millennial generation, the 18 - 35-year-olds. I always say that baby boomers like it too because they too like to pretend they can still be young and hip. Between Friday evening and Saturday morning I met many great people and found quite a bit of enthusiasm for Alpha. If all comes ...

Because, as the title of this blog indicates, this is a diary, it will not always contain great theological or philosophical revelations. Sometimes it will be just what a diary is - a record of my thoughts and/or activities. I have set myself a bit of a busy schedule over the next two weeks, but that's the whole point, isn't it. Even though this is my retirement career, I still treat it as a full-time job. Basically, I do my best to devote 9-5, five days a week to my Alpha duties, and Saturday and Sunday are never ruled out if Alpha stuff needs attention. So... my schedule as it stands so far for the next couple of weeks includes two presentations at St Paul's Anglican Church in Edmonton this Sunday, trips to Westlock and Morinville, AB, a Pastors' lunch presentation in Whitecourt and visits to churches in Provost, Wainwright and Lloydminster. One thing I like to do wherever I go is check out a bit of each town's history and sources of local pride. Many Alberta comm...

On the Road Again

I'm in Grande Prairie this week, ostensibly to attend  a dance competition where my daughter, Jen's dance studio is competing, and doing very well, if I may say so with a bit of fatherly pride. However, as I do not yet have a travel budget, I stole the opportunity to make calls on the churches in town, with some very encouraging results. I have previously visited most of them during my time with Alpha, so this was a matter of renewing relationships and re-introducing myself in my new capacity with Christianity Explored . Most calls just involved friendly conversation and ministry updates. I have also told all my churches that I am happy to encourage them with Alpha as well, so I shared the joy of what is probably the main Grande Prairie Alpha church, over the number of new believers coming to faith through their Alphas. Then, however, without my having even mentioned it, he produced material on a new discipleship program they are considering - Discipleship Explored - ...
