Hey everyone, guess what! I do still exist! Sorry I took so long to put anything up here in case you were wondering about me, but here it is - my long overdue message.
I'll be writing a little bit about things that may have happened a while ago, so excuse that while it builds up to the present.
Since Kaleo, I've been working with my oldest brother, who is a framer and has his own business. That has been awesome so far, just being able to hang out with him every day pretty much. I've been learning a lot on the job site so that's cool, but I've also been able to learn a lot outside of that.
One thing that was a struggle for me before and throughout Kaleo was consistantly spending time with God and reading the Bible daily. But since then, after a bunch of prayer, God has shown me an opening in my day every day for me to read His word. Starting pretty much right at the end of Kaleo, I decided to read through the New Testament starting in Acts. Since we had spent quite a bit of time studying the Gospels, I wanted to get through the rest. I am currently reading 2 Timothy, and have already learned and been inspired so much by what Paul has to say in his letters. It seems as though I am growing more and more eager to read as I go, which is pretty new to me, but is so amazing. So you can thank God with me for answering this prayer and also pray that I will never stop this eagerness to dive into this gift that God has given to us.
I guess you all know now from pictures or whatever that I went to Qwanoes for a couple days, so I'll fill you in on my thoughts of it. I'll start off by saying that it was so awesome to see all of you who were there, and to just see the place where I had been living for almost a year. During my last day there, everyone was working, so I had to come up with something to do, so one of the things I did was go to the point for the whole morning, and I'd have to say that that was probably my highlight of the trip. I was able to just sit and look out at the water and look around at God's amazing creation. I also got to see four orcas that were swimming around just off the point for a while. It was just an awesome time for me to read, reflect, and pray.
Oh boy, this is already starting to get long, and now all of a sudden it seems like I have so much more to say. What to do, what to do?
...After a long couple seconds of intense thinking, I've decided to write a little bit more.
Something that Kaleo definatley taught me, and I'm sure a lot of you can relate, and that's the value of a solid friendship, one that can only come through the connection of Christ. This is something that coming home from Kaleo, knew that it was something that I didn't have with a lot of my friends here. These are friends who, like me, have grown up in with Christianity all around us - going to church every Sunday, and always going to a Christian school. Unfortunately, this does not always have the same positive effect on everybody. Drinking has become a big part of some of their lives, and has caused them lead a dual lifestyle. This is another thing that I have been praying a lot for, and just recently, I had the opportunity to have some pretty good talks with a couple of my friends about that, and to see where their at, and what their views are on it, and also to tell them what mine are. So if you will pray with me that I will not only be given the opportunities to break through to them, but the strength to follow through with it, and that they will listen.
You have been more or less brought up to date in the life of Stephen Wall post-Kaleo.
Your brother in Christ, siging out,
Supporting Wall.

Seeking Truth

This is the first time I feel like I don't know where to start, or what even to say, feels a little strange so now I can understand others when they've said the same thing or haven't blogged for the same reason. I'm finished me job at the greenhouse, well actually Friday I thought I was done, so Friday I baked my boss some stuff, hand them to her and she laughed and says to me "sorry dear you're not actually done," (which was a little awkward and I felt a little over eager for it to be done with parting gifts in hand lol) butttt only two more short shifts to go. This week is super crazy with two grads to go to, packing for camp, two works shifts and helping out my dad on the farm.
It's so cool to hear about and see pics of so many of you guys at Qwanoes! I'm so excited to read and hear about how God uses each of you there this summer in powerful ways!
As for me leaving for camp I'm actually genuinely excited! The past few weeks I'd been really dreading it, comparing myself to Jonah and camp as my little ninevah, thank you for your prayers I definitely feel excited to be going on the frontlines for Jesus Christ this summer. Talking to each of you and being encouraged, as well as seeing past camp friends (who won't be there but really encouraged me) has been amazing! We were unable to find a director but the local pastors wife has stepped up to the plate and I'm really excited for her to take this on she is such an amazing woman of God! As I was preparing for camp jon lefave shared with me 1 Cor. 15:58 "Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the word of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain." I hope that encourages some of you as much as it did me. Recently I've been given a few more jobs this summer, at least four of the weeks I'll be doubling as sr. counselor and nurse, possibly secretary as well which seems exhausting just thinking about it, but I can practically hear Dots telling me that knowing I can't do it on my own means I will have to rely on God that much more and let Him be my strength.
Spiritually the past bit I had started to feel really... hmmm frusterated. The comparison that came to mind was that I felt like a tall, lanky, awkward 13 y/o boy who had a huge fast growth spurt and now is trying to fill out. I grew so much so quickly at Kaleo, and I've been frustrated trying to keep growing that much, frustrated trying to grow alone, to maintain, just frustrated. I guess this could be an answer to prayer to not become satisfied with where I am but I am still longing for more. Reading the bible each time I find I have more questions when I'm done than when I started no matter where I read, haha I even try changing where I'm reading hoping to have less questions, I'm starting to feel like a curious kid, you know the one who asks quesitons about everything because lately that's been me with my pastor and parents, which is weird because at Kaleo I didn't find myself so filled with questions, which as I'm writting this brings to mind my camp theme verse "“You will seek me & find me; when you seek me with all your heart." ...declares the Lord... " Jeremiah 29: 13.. cool!
Sorry that's super long, I pray for each of you often, and would love to hear from all of you guys, e-mail, phone you name it! OH, now I may have missed a post or something, but Alex Glass how you doing? My address at camp is (would LOVE a letter!)
Luseland Bible Camp
Box 71
Luseland Sk (Creative camp name I know :D )
S0L 2A0
Ephesians 3:16-19 "I pray that out of his glories riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ"
p.s anyone have some insight to 2 Thess. 2:11???

All My Lovin, I Will Send to You

Hey there folks!

Love you all, miss you all...camp is still awesome, and we're starting to switch gears as we finish up our guest groups and prepare to have the whole staff descend upon the camp. I'm starting to learn the ropes with some difficult situations with our male staff and their conformity to our staff agreement concerning certain substances...so you could pray for wisdom for me as I approach these people and try to come alongside them and guide them in the right direction. It's a little unnerving to have to live as an example to these guys. Also, in sympathy with Kev, a smaller camp can mean wearing many hats, and the days can get pretty long...so prayer for energy and enthusiasm.

Also, I'm speaking at my church this Sunday, June 22nd. You could pray that I don't screw it up...I've discovered I have a lot of fear of people and their opinions of me. It's even a struggle for me to admit to people that I'm going to bible school sometimes...but I need to stand firm as an ambassador for Christ. It sucks to think how easy it is for me to have a conversation with somebody that could easily segway into a conversation about God, and then avoid that opportunity because they may react negatively. Anyway, I'm speaking on Ephesians 5:15-20, and the plan is to throw in some anecdotes from India. I want it to be an opportunity for the church to understand a bit about what I've been learning, how God's been growing me...I want them to hear the Holy Spirit when I speak.

my address here, if I did not put it up[ here already (I can't remember) is

40 Greenhill Lake Rd
Green Hill Lake NB

Doe eyes... lamest message of my life. I knew you were going to own LeFave, I DEMAND a re-entry!

Como estas, banditas!?

It is me... Kevin. The Cautious. I think I would like to change my name... if that is alright. I've officially realized that my true area of neglect is faithfulness. The reason I wanted to be cautious was because I didn't want to stray from God's will. I want to be PRO-active and on the offense, being cautious allows me to be passive.

Whoa. The things you don't realize that are waiting to come out until you hit a keyboard.

Well. My friend Laura and I have had a blast painting together for the last 7 weeks and made some good money... I backed into a parked car the second week after being home, so that may very well turn my "good" money into "ok" money... but hey. God is bigger than green paper. It's been good to spend so much time for her, being able to offer her solid words while the relationship between her parents as well as the faith of her mother continues to crumble. Pray that in her next year of school, God would build her back up in a way most pleasing to him.

I'm feeling okay about this sermon, which I'm giving JUNE 29 if anyone wants to come. (Anyone know how to convert a tape recording into a digital recording?) I feel really good about the material I've got together so far, but I'd love prayer if God would continue to refine it and put all of its components into a sequence of the greatest mastery. muah haha! I thought that I had FINALLY come to an end after Kaleo of exploring my past and figuring out why the Hell (quite seriously) I went down the road I did. But this 7-8 week sermon writing process has led me to read some incredible material which... I'm gash darn thankful for. Understanding that in my case same-sex attraction was a symptom of a much greater void in my heart has been... a sign of the furtherance of the Kingdom of Jesus (I am such a Bible school). He continues today to reveal the 'heart' of matters.

I'm also officially a Resource Counselor at my camp (a mix of head counselor, staff concierge, mediator between leadership and staff, and odd-job handler... when you aren't a mega-camp like Qwanoes, one position isn't always a single position). I cannot believe that everything I said would happen is actually happening.

And I'm going to Briercrest! And Justin Lenny (the reason I began considering Bridal quest in the first place) is my freaking RA. AND Rob is my roomy #1 and Jon and Jordan are right beside us! I don't always feel so hot on life, but when I look at a blog like this... It's not hard to know Joy.

I do not know my 'official' RC e-mail at camp, but you can probably still use my g-mail. I'll be at camp Squeah on Saturday, so if you would like to try phoning you can call 1-800-380-CAMP... but it may be better if we schedule calls. My address is
#4 - 27915 Trans Canada Hwy
Hope, B.C.

Life is HAPPENING. I love you all. I love Kaleo.


PS if someone has any info as to who used a freaking airsoft gun in 209, I would love to know because being charged for damage that I wasn't even aware existed is an awfully unpleasant affair. May the Spirit convict you!

my family,
as we've already all read just a few posts ago, it is true what jord tells you guys. his team did in fact beat my team 2-0. and being the humble guy he is..he forget to tell you that he actually was the one to score the game winner lol...and as angry as i can get in sports and as angry as i was when he scored and as i hung my head...i was able to have a little smirk on my face seeing as the worst possible scenario of this game has just occurred..all this talk of the big game..and jordan just sniped some incredible goal top shelf on me ..so ya this win that jordan speaks of did actually happen but was still a rad time and its true.we were able to hang out afterwards which was of course a good time.
but ya i thought i would post once more before going to camp tomorrow and informing you on life in newmarket oveer the past little while. i finished doing landscaping / was told "we don't really need you anymore", some may call that getting fired..depends how you look at it..um then worked pouring some cement for a friend which was cool and then spent the last few weeks working at a tent sale selling shoes. soo its been kind of random but God has definitely been faithful in providing some cash flow before i leave and enter a place where cash never really seems to flow.
but ya its been a challenging few weeks and ive been struggling to remain hopeful and joyful in times where my life doesn't reflect a life worthy of the manner of the Gospel of Christ. and in this time i so desperately want to try and understand more of what God's grace really does imply and the incredible gift that it really is and i think camp will be a really really good place to begin or..continue that journey. i must say i think about all of you who are at qwanoes or are going there soon and i am soooo envious of the opportunities you have to go there..mann what i would give to spend a week just kickin it around there, spending time with all of you.. but ya i am really excited to enter camp this year wanting to know Christ and in that, act as he did, serving and becoming the least among those around him. i surely don't have this figured out and it will be a huge struggle but i think that is something that God wants to teach me this summer.
soo ya this blog a year ago to be ..seemed lame...but now..is maybe one of my favourite things so i look forward to hearing how you are all doing through this blog or other means.but the blog is kinda cool. andd downey i thought it was dope how you shared some bible verses that have been challenging you so i thought i would do the same. i miss all of you tons.

"The man who says, "I know him", but does not do what he commands is a liar and the truth is not in him. But if anyone obeys his word, God's love is truly made complete in him. This is how we know that we are in him. Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did." 1 John 2:4-6

Instert good title here

Hey, I have a simple request for all yous out there, could you guys pray for my grandma, her brother passed away like 2 days ago and she's needs prayer for comfort because another one of her brothers passed away less than a month ago.
Yeah, thanks everyone!

Hey Hey from Nova Scotia!

Hey guys! I am so pumped to see a bunch of you soon! Right now, I am watching Mark and Dan play Dragon Ball Z...a new low for me, but seems to be not only enjoyable for them, but exciting. I don't get it. Anyway, our two-week trip here has been so much fun as Dan has taken on the role of tour guide...and I am a more than willing tourist. There is so much to see and do...we even went to P.E.I. this weekend! Kev should appreciate that we went the Anne of Green Gables Musical!!! It really was incredible. There has been tons of other great experiences...eating Amazing fish, shopping in Halifax, going to the museum and the harbor....it's been busy and awesome. I have been reading 'The Shack', and am almost done, as it's hard to put down. It has definitely been challenging me and making me ask some big questions, but I am absolutely loving it. If you haven't read it yet, you must.
We fly back early...very early, on Tuesday morning, then off to camp on Thursday. I am thrilled to reunite to some of you...and meet a bunch of new sweet peeps. I won't lie, every so often...I have a tiny anxiety attack about the lack of electricity in the cabins at Qwanoes. Deep breaths.
Well...I am happy to hear from all of you...Jordan's sarcasm (haha...), Steve's enthusiasm, Chris's drive, Kels's compassion, and so forth. Each of you are so wonderful and unique; our God is so great. I love you and am praying for you. -Katie.

They say Friday the 13th is bad luck

yo so just a little update on a previous post by Jon lefave. So as he mentioned, were both on soccer teams with our churches and play in the same league. Anyways our teams played each other tonight. Now it may not seem like a big deal, but considering the amount of competitive soccer we played this past year, either on the same team or not, this game was.. kind of a big deal. Anyawys I play midfield for Bradford Eagles and Jon plays goal for Newmarket. Im writing to you now to let you know the end result of that game. Bradford Eagles (My team)......2 Newmarket something or others ....0. heck yea. hah. But no it was a super close game and lefave played solid and robbed me on a couple of occasions. and it was ok we were still able to hang out after the game. hah. Anyways I apologise for wasting the time of those who were looking forward to reading a nice deep sentimental post.. and just heard about our lame soccer game. All joking aside.. its been awesome to read everyones post and hear what everyone is still learning regardless of our departure from the program. Hope everyone is well. Maybe Ill post a more serious one soon, ha.
Jordan

Life

Hey guys!
Well it's been quite a long time since I've posted and I think it's about time that I did. I've been putting off writing because I didn't know what I would write, and there was always other stuff to be doing. That's kinda how the past while has been. There's always more things I can do and everything seems to take more time that it should and so my days just kinda disappear. I've still been struggling in finding time with God. I've be really good at reading my Bible and that but it still doesn't feel like the same meeting with God. I find it really really hard when I sit down and read my Bible and that's all good but then get up and rush around doing things and not doing any of it with God. I think it was Amanda that said something to me about seeing the world as God sees it. This is what one of my desires has been, to be able to see people and see in them the hurt and brokenness that needs God. I've found myself to be pretty apathetic, which is not a good place to be! There's two things that I really miss and I feel have been affecting me. One is open honest conversation. The type we had at Kaleo where when you asked someone what's up or noticed that something was bothering someone and asked them you'd get the straight up answer. I'm not sure what it is but it seems that people just cannot go there. Is it fear, individualism, no example? I don't know but man it bugs me. I always thought I was pretty intreverted with my God times but I'm realizing more and more how I wasn't during Kaleo, especially when I see how much I miss real conversations. I've also really missed being in leadership in ministry. I have been stepping back a little (just a little though=). This has been good because I was sitting back and observing, catching up on what was done this year, the group, the leaders and what not which totally needed to be done but yesterday I had a meeting with the youth pastor at the church to plan stuff about what I'll be doing in August and it got me so pumped. I actually feel so alive, getting to do some visioning and planning!! So where I'm at now. I'm so excited about church stuff. Coming back in August to start full time and there is lots of amazing stuff that I will be working on. Tomorrow I head to camp to work for 6 weeks. I'm so stinking excited to be back at camp and to especially be with the other Kaleo people there and have some awesome talks. Camp is also a lot different with all of the changes this year and then also with the fact that I won't be there all summer kinda changes things. So prayer for that would be sweet. That God would give me a heart and passion for what He wants me to do with my time at camp. Also that God would give me a heart for the people back at home. I was reading last night in James and this verse really really hit me. James 3:17-18 says "But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness." I'm not fully sure what this means for me but it struck a big chord in me. It sums up so much of what I'm longing for right now. That's about hit guys. I'll see some of you tomorrow and the rest, I promise to keep in touch more!

God's timing is hard to understand

So remember how I told you about those friends of mine here that I've really started to appreciate because they are incredible people and I love them? Well God has been so wonderful in blessing us with such fun times and also conversations that have focussed on deep and personal issues and I'm very grateful for that. One of the girls in particular, Kirsten, is a beautiful example of God's joy and patience. I love her so much and am growing to appreciate her more all the time. The reason why I'm telling you this is that Kirsten lost her dad to cancer last night. If you could please pray for her and her family it would be appreciated. I can't even imagine what this must be like for her. Thanks for praying, I love all of you guys. And just in case sometimes you forget, make sure you tell your dad (your mom too) that you love him, especially as father's day is so close. We never know how long we're going to be here.

update

hey all you wonderful people! i figured i would throw a little update up on here!
things are going very well for me back in my home town. I am excited at every moment because of what is all happening. For example today, i was in my high school, and got to talk to a bunch of ppl and it was neat to encourage them, to be encouraged, and to be a positive presence for my camp friends, youth groupers, and the many ppl in a high school.
I finished at boston pizza on monday,and start at my camp fulltime on next Monday. i am going to a wedding on Saturday, so that blows my mind cuz its the wedding of a buddy of mine from high school.
I have learned so much about trusting God this month! every single day it is all i do. after some prodding from my buddy james i have started reading my bible again, and its been really good. still a chore, but im mostly enjoying it now, reading through chronicles.
God has been making amzing thing happen, and has been involving me! sometimes its with the ppl i get to talk to, or the ppl coming to out my camp this summer, or just being at the right place at the right time, God is incredible!
As you might beable to tell, i am very excited. This year at camp will be crazy, and as we pull off our ideas there, i will update you more. But basically i am a ball of pumped up energy, high on life! While it makes me rather busy to be planning and contacting ppl al the time, its what i LOVE to do!

so yeah, thats me, good work on writing on here everyone, lets keep it going!

I'm alive!

Hey Everyone!
So, it took me a really long time to post...
Since Kaleo ended I was at home for 10 days until advance crew started here at camp. I'm residing in room 311 until the end of the summer and currently I have 4 full-time roommates and 1 who is here on most weekends. I have been busy working mostly in the kitchen and not as much in the dishpit because we don't have enough kitchen staff but as the summer approaches I will be in dishpit more and more often. Open House is coming up and we usually get at least 1000 people at the camp so prayer for the kitchen would be awesome as that is alot of food and we don't have many people in the kitchen still. Not alot is new I've been busy here with working and getting to know a bunch of new people. It was a weird being back here at first and not seeing everyone around but now it is good! My sister had an ultrasound a couple of weeks ago and the baby is healthy so far! I hope that you are all doing good! You are all in my prayers! Love you and miss you all!

Stink! It's about time Joel!

Hey my buds! Remember me? It's Joel. Joel Krahn....

I've put this off waayyyy to long, even a chiding post by Scott couldn't get me goin' on this. I could say I've been super busy with work and finishing up the yearbook, but I suppose that would be lying. Not that I haven't been busy with those things. There's been so many times that I loaded up the page with the intentions of telling you super peeps where I'm at, what I'm doing, but I've always put it off.

Oh man, where to start. Well, the last time I saw most of you was April 19th. Since then I've been to 7 of your houses and seen at least half of you since that fateful day. Road trippin' home with Steveo was a blast. Getting to see you in your natural habitats was soooo cooool. We were at Jahnaya's house chilling out and we were all thinking, how *normal* is this? Sooo chill, not weird at all. Yeah so Kels was at my house for a week. That was pretty normal too. It was soooo funny though, cause she came to my church and I know I got some pretty intresting looks. "Woah... did you see that Joel was with a girl?" My college and career Sunday school class probably thinks we were getting married, along with half of Stienbach by now. Word spreads.

I've been working for about a month now. Yesterday was my last day cause I'm kickin'er back to to Qwanoes (woot woot) for the summer. What is really weird is that I haven't been hanging with my friends nearly as much as I thought I would be. I can count on one hand all the times I've chilled with any of my old buds. The reason for that is that I have been so apathetic. Dangerously so. I've come home from work, had supper, and frittered away on my computer, working on the yearbook, and decimating the wii at tennis. I've also been apathetic in my getting to know God more. I thought I would be delving into the word with all this time on my hands. But just as it was in Kaleo, there is always something "better" do be done. I have been thinking a lot about the fall though. Jezreel is still on my mind. So is Hillsong international leadership college. So is (to a lesser extent) community college with graphic design. Just hoping and praying still that God will nudge me in the right direction.

On a different note I went to Winkler the other day, not to see Steve (which happened anyway) but to see the dedication of the Brittany and Jordan memorial project. This may not mean anything to you, but I'm putting this on here for Jordan and Dots and the K1's. As emotional a time it was for Ralph and Joc and Kristen and my family, it was a super sweet time. (In case you don't know, Jordan and Brittany were my cousins.) The place is amazing! The middle of the prairies looks like Florida complete with a huge beach and a lake. The prayer garden is amazing as well. You can tell that this was a good way for the family to handle their grief; they were able to pour all their emotions into this project. This made it have some feeling to the whole place, like it was not enough physically to capture the essence of two super lives, but spiritually, it was filled to the brim. The ceremony was so good as well. Each speech resonated truth within it. I was especially encouraged when Ralph, Joc, and Kristen were able to share their feelings about this project. They are such giants in their faith, even if they don't feel that way themselves. They are able to hold on to their faith, even having it strengthened in some ways, through the most traumatic experience. That is a real showing of faith. Being able to smile and laugh even when your heart is broken. They are role models to anyone going through a tough time.

I was able to bring a camera along and do a little practice for this summer.




Here's a hackjob panoramic shot complete with mysterious floating head.

what whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

scotty GRACE

Didn't mean to disappear...

Hey everyone!

Sorry if it seemed like I disappeared for a bit...my ability to use the internet has been a bit sporadic the past few weeks...

Anyway, it has been so good to read through your blogs and hear what you have been up to! I just spent an incredible morning playing hard for about an hour and a half with Brady (7 month old) and then he fell asleep on me as I sat on the couch. I wish I had a picture...soooo cute!!!

So I just spent the last couple weeks driving across Canada...okay part way across Canada as we decided to end in Saskatchewan and leave Nicki's car at Briercrest. My apologies to all of you in Manitoba and Ontario; I was hoping to see you guys and catch up a bit in person, but the Lord had different plans for our trip. It took us about a week to get to Alberta...can you imagine?? We had such a blast taking our time and praising the Lord through the mountains and visiting with people along the way. God directed our trip so well and placed us at just the right place at the right time more times than we could count. I wish I could share all the stories, but that would take some time! I decided to leave you with a video that should give you a wonderful glimpse into our trip.

I am beginning to dream again as my heart continues to be restored by our Father. As I think about the past few years and the places and people I have met, I am overjoyed at the opportunity God has placed in my lap. I pray you all will receive the same joy as the Father continues to guide you along the path that He has designed for you. May you find peace as He has the future in His hands. What better place to be than resting in the knowledge that your Father in Heaven, ruler of the nations, has a plan for you and requires only that you listen for His leading. Hope the pictures make you smile!!!

Oh and I may not be on facebook...but I certainly love email! So don't be shy!
