Dear Family and Friends,  We were given funds to financially covered by

Five days until Spring offi-
cially begins yet we are al-
ready experiencing beautiful
Spring weather! We are so
thankful! Much of the snow
has melted away and we are
even out at our picnic table as
we write this enjoying the
beautiful sunshine that God
has provided for us. Yeah
Jesus!
 Moving what we know

catch up our storage fee
for January & February.
We were close to losing
all of our things in stor-
age so we’re so grateful
for God’s provision.
 We traded our ‘01 Hyun-
dai Santa Fe for an ‘03
Pontiac Montana Van
with a 3 month warranty
for only $700 more .
Most of this money was
other families and we are
truly grateful!
 Dana was blessed with a
new robe from one friend
asked to do so by the Lord
and a box of incredible
gifts from another friend
who was told to do so by
the Lord. Dana felt very
blessed by the blessings of
the Lord!

can be so hard to do.
When we believe the
truth that God speaks, it
changes us forever! We
see in Proverbs “ As a
man thinks in his heart,

Santa Fe so we are grate-
ful to not have two car
payments for one vehicle.
We now have enough
seats for when the baby
arrives! Praise God!
 Our church blessed us
with the $250 we needed
to pay for the ultrasound
that Dana’s Dr. required
her to have this month.
Blood work and dr. ap-

covered for the fee each
month. It is our only com-
munication from our cot-

ful for this provision!

is not small. Thanks God!
 We were also given a baby
crib, swing, infant car seat
and stroller as well as other
baby items. God provides
even for babies! Yay God!

“As the Seasons Change...So Do Areas of Focus”

You know change is a funny thing. So often we fight it. Yet, it is the ONE thing that needs to happen in
order to propel us forward.
Speaking of change we are in an interesting time of many changes up here.
With the ending of the course and the transitioning out of our time at the food bank in a nearby town we
have been asking the Lord for what comes next.
The pastor of our home church, with whom we are also accountable, has asked Rory to concentrate on
getting the repackaging of the finished “Foundations” course completed. With this being done the hope and
goal is to then be able to start making this material available to the churches in the area. Another goal that
this then brings into line is the Purity seminar that we have been preparing for - bit by bit. Our pastor is
also encouraging this and has done much to help Rory where he has needed it in this regard.
Another area that we are experiencing changes is on the variety of one on one mentoring opportunities. The
needs and topics of interaction are varied and are as different as there are people. One of our favorite inter-
actions is when people come to pursue their faith in a deeper way, without waiting for a life situation to
force them into pursuing God harder.
Still another new focus that the church leadership has asked of us is in the area of worship as they are seek-
ing to broaden the worship resource within the church. This worship reality is exciting as new dreams are
coming for worship in our home church body and elsewhere. We also feel that the Lord has put on our
hearts other artistic expression in the area of drama. This is a powerful resource, whether it be to add visual
weight to a message preached or to bypass heart walls in outreach.
We have many things to consider and hear Jesus on to do with some of these goals. So we would appreciate
your prayers. Sometimes a new work can feel a little like the tossing sea. However, like Peter, we seek to
hear the Lord say “come.” Our heart’s desire is to please Him and to keep our focus on His face, never
minding the “rolling waves.”

“To look like Jesus, in order to honor the Fa-
ther , but only through God’s life changing
Word and by His Spirit’s power!”
Please pray for and consider the following needs.:
 We are still needing prayer supporters - we are
working on the front lines here in the north.
 Housing needs for the spring and storage items
brought up from CA.
 Needing wisdom for who to ask to care for the
kids when Dana gives birth. As well as we have
a real need for God’s best in some regular baby-
sitters as we do not have any yet.
Iron is to sharpen iron … so, within relationship, let’s dig a little...for the glory of God.
Last letter we referenced Andrew Murray’s book “Absolute Surrender.” This time we are taking
it a step further.
We know the phrase “talk is cheap”. Matthew 15 & Isaiah 29 both talk of people being close to
the Lord only with their lips. James 2 and Matthew 7 corroborate this linking living faith with
actions & lived out proof. James 1 also talks on this and reminds us that if we read or hear only
the word of God and yet don’t do what it says we are like a man who forgets what He looks like
after leaving the mirror. Tragic and pointed we are supposed to bear the image of God. John 15
says we glorify God with bearing fruit. We must ask ourselves this - is the fruit of our surrender
on our lips or in our lives..? In thinking through this … please… consider Matt. 25:14– 30.
Here’s some family needs. Please prayerfully help us as we help those - so dear to the Lord.
Some of our present needs:
a.) March storage payment( $200)
b) Car payment ($220 plus the last $160 to finish off the trade on the new van = $380)
c.)Phone ($50)
d.)Doctor appointment twice this month ($34 each = $68)
e.)Monthly living costs for food, rent, storage, gas and insurance as well as tithe to name a few.
Family … friends, our monthly living needs are $3000, yet, our current financial incoming is
about $2000 short of what we are needing.
Please pray for favor with the government for Dana’s immigration process. This is needed
A.S.A.P. for Dana’s health coverage for the birth.
Please also pray that we’d be able to keep on making the most of opportunities while keeping
grounded in the value of family and the absolute life blood of our First Love - prioritizing our
hidden life and the intimacy of the “secret place.”
Join us on your knees, with your resources and in ministry relationship. Let’s lose what we
covet though we cannot keep it - in order to keep what we can’t afford to lose - our LOVER’S
good pleasure in our exclusive and implicit surrender and selfless love for Him and each other!
Every prayer and resource is needed and appreciated regardless of its size or frequency. We
greatly appreciate your help! Please, do ask the Lord to guide your involvement with us.
As you stand before Him, looking into His eyes - you’ll never regret it.

What’s Been Happening in Canada?

 Dana has been blessed to be going to the
intercession group on Monday nights.
This is an area of passion for Dana and it
is so fun to see God move the interces-
sion team in how to pray for the church
and the community. God has worked
through spiritual warfare, lifting up needs
of others, praying for our leaders, etc. It
is something she hopes to be part of even
after the baby arrives.
 The ultrasound was a lot of fun to get to
do. We had waited for so long for this
moment and it finally came. The baby is
so beautiful! We both felt that the Lord
asked us to wait to find out the sex of the
baby. Eight weeks to go!
 Since our last letter Rory had the sweet
sorrow of finishing the Foundations
Course and its’ celebration party. There
was a lot of good fruit and feedback from
the course. During the party, the course
participants all shared with each other,
Rory and the head pastor what the Lord
did with them during the course. One
person said they realized the importance
of being able to answer accurately and
boldly share their faith with confidence
as well as having a deeper respect for
their salvation. Another person shared
the importance of “digging in” to the
truth and how that has left him forever
changed. Yet another said that they
received answers on some questions that
had been left hanging in their Christian-
ity. A fourth person shared how their
pre-conceived ideas and the “culture of
their faith” had been challenged toward a
more biblical foundation. Even Rory
shared “ the Lord loved me enough to
wreck me so beautifully in the making
and teaching of this course.”
 As mentioned before, Rory now is re-
packaging the finished foundations
course. The focus being to make it publi-
cally available, as well as stream-lining
the presentation so that he may also teach
it elsewhere. Lastly, the plan is to also
mentor up another teacher for the course,
with a teachers’ manual.
 A new project that is being worked on is
“The Purity Seminar.” Our heart is to
make this available for whomever purity
is a relevant reality. So truthfully our
goal is to offer it to the body of Christ at
large and certainly in the neighboring
communities. This is an equipping track
to teach, exhort, encourage and train
people for lived out purity. Please pray
for us as we seek to give God’s
words...not ours.
 Dana has been seeking after workers for
the kids’ ministry for months now. She is
so thankful that our pastor exhorted the
church to support Dana, as the baby is
coming soon and Dana won’t be able to
be as hands on as of the arrival of our
new treasure. At least 10 different indi-
viduals stepped up to the plate and we
are in the midst of getting them started
and set up to be a part of the children’s
Sunday School program!
