books?!

So i have been on a major book reading binge, in the last week i have read multiple books, yay, haha, i might double or triple the books last year at this rate. But i am just wondering what you are reading? or have read? is there any stellar book out there that is really amazing to keep my book binge going?

So i have been denied in my quest to do a coffee shop outreach through the school, reason because tehres only 5 weeks left. if/when i come back next year they seem like they will allow me...

This is unfortenate for the main reasson of .. i will have to have two ministrys, or do i just have one ministry that i don't feel called to, and wait till the summer.. theres better coffee shops in the skid and vic anyways.. ..

theres the update on this topic.. not really sure what iam going to do, i might just read a ton of books which will help me in this quest and try afew things out with in the summer... in my time off..

New ministry.. hopefully

So.. just after i came back from Willams lake.. my heart is over is over flowing again for building a church, and more and more i see it at a coffee shop. It also helps when i was in willams lake, randomly for four hours we held a very small group style church. It was flexible, no one is stapled to the there chairs, about 8 of us entered adn exited and re-entered conversation.. it was also apparent that there were a few people in this group who where not from summit and it just had a huge range of people sharing about Christ and his Kingdom. I might add that this was a public coffee shop, so as people entered the coffee shop and sat, you could tell there thoughts were some what eaze droping. So the whole time my mind went crazy.. pondering and adding questions and actually answering a few..

So here iam a week or so later, and i will be slowly stepping out of the church in mission and i will be starting a "coffee house church" somewhere in the city of abbotsford, or mission or i guess anywhere in a respectable driving distance. This is all still in limbo as i haven't fully talked to Mark Hawkes but i believe this is the direction i am sapose to take so it will work out.

Recently i have started reading the book "God's smuggler" by Brother Andrew.. iam about half way through and its amazing, after all the music i have deleted off my computer that was pirated and everything that is in Gods hands. After reading his biography i am realizeing the more i give to God and the more i leave to his hands is the right way to go. It seems like the more this guy Andrew was broken and had nothing left the more God did, the more God provided for his missions.

This book seems to be connected as I set out to spread Gods word somehow through coffee shops to people everywhere from multi age groups, to non christians and christians and differnt religons, The more i read, the more i go wow, this is going to have to be all God. As this guy brother Andrew sets out multipleble times to go beyond the wall of communists he brought Bibles and everytime gaurds let him by..

Your prayers will be most welcome as i try to prepare and learn how i can be most effective in this big missions field..

Look out starbucks.. and the other coffee shops here i come..

Everything ... without "caution"

So lightly i have been reading through Acts, well actually i just started again.. Bible school kinda takes out the fun of reading the bible.. unfortunately .. you have to press in harder to actually read the word of God. Recently i have been challenged in my life of things i don't need. Being a slave to the extra things, once by my sister who is also being challenged in the way of money and such.. and then once by cj block who spoke at a conference called sno-fear in willams lake.

But as i said i have been slowly going through Acts.. and in Acts 2:45, it talks of selling their possessions and giving the out come to people who need.. Some verses i have been reading are 2 corinthans 9:6-14, which takes also about giving generously..

question? how much of their possessions? are we suppose to sell everything we have? are we suppose live on faith alone? theres many examples of missionary's who have lived off of God, are we suppose to? do we ask for money and receive?

So heres what iam going to do, right now i am saying everything is in God's possession, So everything that i have bought out of my own hard work, with out passing it through GOd is now for sale! This includes everything from my stereo, camera, ipod, cds... From this moment the money that is in my hand is Gods, every purchase big or small has to pass by God..

My compy is in the list too, its just going to be hard to do homework and stay in touch with fellows back home if God takes it away from me..


So any thoughts? is this to rash?
