Here's A Story!


At the recent FCA National conference in Grande Prairie I met a woman from Iran, formerly Muslim, who came to faith in Christ and now pastors a Iranian Church in Canada. She uses Alpha's material to do live talks in the Farsi language.

She shared the story of her journey to Christian faith, which was quite fascinating, and mentioned that on the way from the airport she noticed the cab driver had an accent so she engaged him in a conversation about faith. The cab driver in turn asked if he could pick her up to take her to his home to continue the conversation. Obviously, there was concern among the convention delegates with whom she shared about this arrangement, lest she be putting herself in a dangerous situation. We prayed mightily for her safety and tried to arrange someone else to accompany them. The convention was over and I was back on the road before this was all supposed to take place.

In any case, she sent me her account of her meeting, which she has given me permission to share:

"Hello John,
Thanks for thinking of me, prayers regarding my meeting with that taxi driver, and your encouraging kind words.
He actually came with his partner for picking me up. I was with them till near 10:00 p.m. The LORD gave me power and wisdom to answer the questions bothering him in his heart and By the work of Holy Spirit in him, he actually received Jesus as His Lord and Savior. His whole contentment changed while praying. He was red and sweating. His partner was a Christian(!!) Filipino girl and after the prayer was done they promised to attend a church and join Alpha course, as well they accepted to meet the pastor, get married officially and live for The LORD. Of course, I suggested them  to attend the same church (CFA Grande Prairie, JK) that was hosting the convention. 
I believe we still should pray for them. 
All Praise be to Our LORD that is full of grace and mercy indeed:-)
God bless my brother, John, richly,
Zari"

Blessings,

John

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 - ...
