Update from Brent

Hey Kaleo's I wanted to let you know what's happening in my life lately.
Well, so far so good! I am super blessed! I have started doing outreach with my friend in Red Deer and it's really fun!! We just walk around town and love on people and tell them about our loving Father! We also pray for the sick and we got to see one man's back pain leave instantly and his leg grew out! Wow.. that was awesome, praise God!

Other than that I have been trying to figure out some longer term plans.. and so far i have been feeling that God is calling me to Africa, to a missionary school. It is really practical learning (speakers come and speak to the class, live as a missionary and practice what you are learning) and as far as I know there isn't much acedemics at all, if any? It doesn't specify but I am definitly more of a practical learner and it seems very practical, you actually live as a missionary there, with hundreds of orphan children which were once street children and some of them former prostitutes and some scavenged food from the garbage dump. I feel a call to go there and I will be applying real soon.

I have been thinking about starting up a life group at my house, where a bunch of people would get together and talk about Christ, pray for each other, do outreach together, teach and learn from eachother, kinda like home church or bible study except spontaneous and no set schedule of what we would do. Well see what happens with that, if i start it up or not.

I am still learning lots, i have 6 books lined up to read and have read some other books already. God has also brought together a good facebook family for me, so when I go on there I'm not just wasting time anymore :), the Holy Spirit is guiding me and teaching me through others, the video's, links and statuses they post, and talking with them.
I started a website to put together some stuff I have been learning, and teach others and guide them into truth. Check it out here authenticloveneverfails.webs.com

Anyways I am so stoked for you all going to mt washington, your gunna have a blast!! I still really hope to come for the surfing trip (when is that again Jim?) Miss you, thinking and praying for you all! Don't worry about me I am very blessed and my relationship with Christ is just getting deeper and deeper, it brings me joy and peace, this Christian life is abundant, we are so blessed!!


Even though were not together your all still my family and I love you all!

True Inspiration Is Impossible to Fake

Hey My fellow Kaleoites!

Well to say the least, I am so excited to see all of you guys again. I missed you.

My break has been good, frustrating at times but refreshing, and even though I didn't get a lot done, I actually don't mind.

God has given me great opportunities to minister to the people in Leader and surrounding area which I didn't think were plausible for this small town, but leave it up to my pastor to be creative, haha.

Christmas was spent with both sides of the family but the most enjoyable thing was New Years. I didn't have any plans for New Years and I was thinking to myself, "I am a college student and I am doing nothing for New Years... that is sad." So I decided to have my own little shindig. I invited some of my camp friends, my bestie, and two people from my church. I like hosting a good part. So, I made homemade eggnog, cookie pizza and complete with a chocolate fountain. We had a lumberjack theme so everyone wore some good ol' flannel. We played pictionary, made a fort and watch Inception. It was a really good night and I invited silly Ryan but he declined, how rude! haha, just kidding.

It is crazy to think tomorrow I will see most of you. I hope you enjoy the rest of this break.
