Speak, O Lord

October 19, 2011

If you haven’t done devotions yet today, I encourage you to read and reflect on these words.

“Speak, O Lord” by Keith & Kristyn Getty

Speak, O Lord as we come to you
To receive the food of your Holy Word
Take your truth plant it deep in us
Shape and fashion us in your likeness

That the light of Christ might be seen today
In our acts of love and our deeds of faith

Speak, O Lord and fulfill in us
All your purposes for your glory

Teach us Lord full obedience
Holy reverence true humility
Test our thoughts and our attitudes
In the radiance of your purity

Cause our faith to rise, Cause our eyes to see
Your majestic love and authority
Words of power that can never fail
Let the truth prevail over unbelief

Speak, O Lord and renew our minds
Help us grasp the heights of your plans for us
Truths unchanged from the dawn of time
That will echo down through eternity

And by grace we’ll stand on your promises
And by faith we’ll walk as you walk with us

Speak O Lord till your church is built
And your earth is filled with your glory

Psalm 25:4-5

Make me to know your ways, O Lord;
teach me your paths.
Lead me in your truth and teach me,
for you are the God of my salvation;
for you I wait all the day long. (ESV)

Prairie’s Global Connections Conference

March 1, 2011

This weekend Prairie will be hosting the 2011 Global Connections Conference (GCC), and we are privileged to welcome Dr. Helen Roseveare as the featured speaker for the main rallies. Some may be quite familiar with that name, and for others including myself (until recently), we don’t realize just how special it is to have Dr. Roseveare on campus. Here is a brief bio from the GCC webpage on Prairie’s website.

Dr. Roseveare was born in England in September 1925. In 1953, she sailed for the Belgian Congo as a missionary with WEC International. During the next twenty years, Helen ministered by setting up a rural hospital, several rural clinics, a training school for national paramedical workers, and joining in the formation of a large inter-mission referral hospital and training college for nurses and midwives. Since 1973 she has served on the home-end of WEC International as a deputation worker, speaking to young people, university students, and church groups all over the English-speaking world, challenging them to consider God’s claim on their lives for full-time service.

Race to 2025

February 17, 2011

This weekend I will be joining a team from Prairie at the Race to 2025. My purpose for joining them on the weekend will be to capture the event on film.

If you don’t already know, the Race to 2025 is a winter adventure race with the purpose of raising money for Bible translation around the world. Each race team, made up of college students from various schools from Canada and the US, raises money and then competes in the race for the opportunity to win scholarships.

If you are interested in supporting the Race, please contact Wycliff or send me an email and I’ll put you in touch with a Wycliff representative.

Come Together Online Video Services

May 16, 2009

Come Together is an online video service which provides free services for funerals, weddings and other special events. Here’s a bit of info taken from the About Us page:

Come Together provides online viewing of events that matter. This allows friends and family members, who cannot attend an event, to share in significant celebrations, regardless of their location, schedule, or other conflict.

Come Together provides this service at no cost to the individuals involved in the event. Come Together offers the event online to an unlimited number of the family’s contacts at a minimal cost, within several hours of the event. Choosing to utilize the service of Come Together can be done at no financial risk for families, or agencies offering this service to their clients.

I will be working with this new company providing video production and consultation services as they expand throughout southern Manitoba.
