Summer to Autumn. Thanksgiving is a few short weeks away and I am preparing for a large change in Gods calling. I think of the words of Solomon. For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven. (Ecclesiastes 3:1) It is with a mixture of gratitude, grief and excitement that I need to share with you that God is calling me away from the ministry at Bridletowne Park Church. BPC will be finishing their partnership with Youth Unlimited at the end of September as they seek God's direction for the congregation while I will continue on with Youth Unlimited in a new role. I am grateful for my season at Bridletowne. J ust last year God brought 185 church and community teens to BPCYouth as we met their needs, shared the Gospel of J esus Christ and discipled them. It has been a privilege to be swept along in God's work in this community. Please join me in celebrating what God has done even as we strive in prayer for the church and community that they will continue to be faithful with the gifts that God has given to them. Please also pray for me in my new role in Youth Unlimited. Please pray for our family as we process this emotionally. Though we know that God is moving us on, the goodbyes are difficult because we love the people in the congregation deeply. I am very thankful for their love and support. They have been agents of healing in our lives. Please also pray for our financial situation. Bridletowne has been providing half of the funding goal for these nearly six years; pray that God would provide for us the support we need to continue on in service. How can you assist us in raising these needed funds? IN EVERYTHING TURN, TURN, TURN

Alain Virgin Youth Unlimited | alainvirgin@gmail.com | 416-890-1345 Camp was the theme word for the summer. It started with tears. Each year I interview student volunteers before camp. One of them, a young woman who had attended WORD! Daycamp three years ago was next. I was aware of her profession of faith and despite seeing her frequently in the neighbourhood, it seemed that the opportunity to disciple her was always blocked by one circumstance or another. When I asked her about what she believed about God tears swelled in my eyes hearing how she had grown and matured, especially as she lives in a home which is hostile to Christ. We had the privilege to hire three students this summer to run the day camp and served a great variety of volunteers and attendees. Along with serving them in their various needs we also shared a run through the Bible showing how Christ is at the centre of the whole book and discipled those who follow J esus. I also enjoyed an opportunity to be a guest speaker one Friday at Wilmar Heights Baptist Churchs day camp run by my colleague Charlene and had the joy to lead four girls to Christ. It was very sweet to attend the Boys J IM Club of America with four students from Bridletowne Park Church. Over the two weeks each of them explored new ways of serving God, learned intensely about the scriptures and were discipled to love J esus deeply and express him vividly. Finally the summer was capped off with a trip to Presquille Provincial Park where we stayed for three days with ten teens enjoying the beach, visiting the Air Force Museum, sharing life and having good conversations. Please pray for one young man especially who I believe is very near to giving his life to J esus. PRISTINE TIDINGS AUTUMN 2014 ***SPECIAL MINISTRY ALERT***
