AIMKids MM4 – Buildings

January 17, 2015 By in AIMKids Missionary Moments Tags: Leave a comment

AIMKids Missionary Moments are designed to be a resource for Sunday School Teachers / Youth leaders, to help kids relate to the life of an MK (Missionary Kid). They’re intentionally short because we know you already have a lot of material to cover.

.

Famous Buildings in France

.

  1. Eiffel Tower: Perhaps one of the most well-known buildings in France. It was intended as a temporary gate for the 1889 World’s Fair, but people liked it so much… it’s still up today!
  2. Castles: There are over 1,000 castles in France: a couple hundred are within a 2-hour drive of our house and one is within a 10-min drive. How cool is that?
  3. Cathedrals: France has some of the most impressive cathedrals in Europe… Catholic Churches built hundreds of years ago (Notre Dame Church in Paris is over 800 years old!). Many are mostly tourist attractions now with very few people who attend services.

..

Prayer Focus:

Buildings are beautiful to look at and explore, but the greatest building in ALL the WORLD is us & you too!  The Bible says that we are being built into a spiritual house, where Jesus is worshiped. That makes you SPECIAL!

– Pray that we can share that with others and you too!

(1 Peter 2.5 – You also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.)

“Send-off Sunday”

January 14, 2015 By in Events Tags: , 2 Comments

Of late I’ve typically been posting the AIMKid Missionary Moments on Wednesdays, but today, in addition to the latest one, I’m also posting some photos from, and telling you about, our send-off services. Mission Point pulled out all the stops in bidding us a fond farewell and for that I must first and foremost thank Pastor & Mrs Brent Carter who spearheaded the day.

Rev. Brent E. Carter, Mission Point Church, UPCI Atlantic District

“We’ve worked together hand & glove”

I give honour to this ministry family. They have taught me a great deal both by their instruction and their example. If I am any kind of leader at all, I am better because of time spent under their leadership. I am greatly indebted to them and am thankful to God for bringing them into our life.

 

Sunday Morning

Mission Point Church, Saint John NB

In the morning service I talked about Disciples with Distinction, from 1 Peter 2.1-9.  Not having grown up in Pentecost, I shared with the church the great things I saw in them when I first began frequenting the church and how that drew me in. They were examples to me in the following 6 areas:

  1. Worship
  2. Study
  3. Pastoral authority & respect
  4. Prayer
  5. Holiness
  6. Doctrine

It was what I consistently saw in the lives of the Christians in this church that “made me stick.”  Thank you Mission Point for being Disciples with Distinction.

Sunday Evening

It was during the evening service that all the stops got pulled out. It was a bit longer than normal, but no one seemed to mind… here are a few photos of that night:

ML speakers kids2 family

After the time of worship, Pastor had Liz & the kids join us on the platform for what would be a combination “tribute” and “roast“ (oh yes! They did go there!). Other speakers not pictured include: Neil Josselyn, Ben Cannon, Maggie Stewart, Youth Pastor Nick Graham and Assistant to the Pastor Mark Robertson.

Jayne Taylor (Kids’ Ministries Director) spoke on behalf of Sunday School and presented our kids with Travel Buddies, tangible reminders that kids back home are praying for them. They’ll take pictures of themselves, with their travel buddy, in cool locations and you’ll be able to follow their adventures using the AIMKids tag on this blog.

Pastor Carter added 5 new “mini-mantles” to the Mantle Ministry. This means that there will be a family in our church praying not only for Pastor & Sis Carter but also for us: 30-min each day, for God’s power, provision and protection.

Troy McAllister and the worship team did a special rendition of recently deceased Andre Crouch’s Through it all. Wow!

Maggie Stewart & Ben Cannon paid tribute to the kids as they are great great friends.

Special Gifts

There were a few gifts given through the evening. Liz got some beautiful flowers & I got a couple of books as well as a wall hanging. A couple of things stand out in particular however.Pastor Carter & MissionPoint Youth, MPYouthEach of the kids were given a #ShopInFrance certificate of appreciation. Space will be limited as we travel over so they thought the kids could go on their very first “mini shopping spree” in France on behalf of the church. So each of them received 100 euros in cash.  Thank you Mission Point!

Peugeot 407 Station Wagon

For the whole family, MissionPoint purchased a used 2007 Peugeot 407 Station Wagon for us. (formerly belonging to missionaries Samuel & Patricia Balca who retired in late 2013). It’s in great shape and has low mileage.
Thank you Mission Point!

My 2-cents Worth

My message (Romans 8:14-15) emphasized the idea of adoption: the act of bringing together as family individuals who were not naturally part of a given family.

In the broadest sense… the entire service was based on that: Many friends were there to honour us, because they’d allowed us to become part of their family & we’d allowed them to become part of ours. Similarly, God has allowed us to be part of His family… through the grace and mercy of Jesus.

“Adoption” provides the legal framework within which relationship can happen, but it doesn’t guarantee relationship… Relationship only happens when each party allows the other unlimited access. Hence the words in Rom. 8.14-15: “If you’re led by the Spirit of God, you’re his children… and the Spirit of adoption allows you to cry ‘Abba Father’.”  We’ve all got to let him LEAD!

Good eats…

French Pastry, Baked goods

Following the service, a TON of fine, fine cuisine awaited those who stayed for the reception. A special THANKS to each one who brought in food as well as to April Sayeau, Erma Shephard, Ryan & Trisha Shephard who coordinated that aspect…

I also know enough to know that Mark Robertson had his hand all over Sunday’s event. Thank you!  Mission Point has a great Assistant to the Pastor!

.

We have THE most AWESOME home church EVER!
We love you Mission Point. Thank you for “adopting” us over 18 years ago!

Mission Point Church, AIMLong, Mike & Liz Long

AIMKids MM3 – School

January 14, 2015 By in AIMKids Missionary Moments Tags: Leave a comment

AIMKids Missionary Moments are designed to be a resource for Sunday School Teachers / Youth leaders, to help kids relate to the life of an MK (Missionary Kid). They’re intentionally short because we know you already have a lot of material to cover.

.

School on the Mission Field

.

School happens a bit differently here than it typically does at home. We are all homeschooled, which means that we do all of our school right at home.  It’s not up to our mom to teach us everything though, we (the two older ones) have DVDs that we watch from Pensacola Christian Academy in Pensacola, Florida, then mom just has to help us with tests & stuff!

Why?

One of the reasons for this has to do with language. If we went to public school, it would be completely in French. Imagine, from one day to the next… you have to do school in another language! That would be tough. We speak some French already, but probably not enough to keep up with other students in public school. Also, we have always been homeschooled, even in Canada… so by doing it this way, it was one less big change in our life.

Do all Missionary Kids Homeschool?

A lot of MKs are homeschooled, but in some countries there are also international schools where everything takes place in English; often because there are other missionaries or lots of international workers in that place. That’s not the case where we are…

.

Prayer Focus:

– Pray that God would help us with our schoolwork.
   (after all, the better we learn, the better we’ll be able to serve Him later)
– Pray that God would help our mom as she helps us.

Paris est Charlie

January 10, 2015 By in Events Tags: Leave a comment
Soldier & Eiffel Tower, #JeSuisCharlie

Photo: CBC.ca

Two images stood out for me yesterday as I followed the news coverage out of France. The first one is above and depicts a soldier standing guard with the Eiffel Tower in the background. The second, immediately below, shows Paris’ city hall dressed in the black banners of mourning: “Paris is Charlie” and “We are Charlie”.

Deux images m’ont frappé hier alors que je suivais les reportages sur la situation en France. La première se voit ci-dessus et montre un soldat qui monte la garde avec la Tour Eiffel en arrière plan. La deuxième se voit immédiatement en dessous; c’est l’Hôtel de Ville de Paris habillé en deuil avec des banières noires: “Paris est Charlie” et “Nous sommes Charlie”.

I’ve crossed the Pont d’Iéna many times as I approached, always with the same sense of awe, the great lady which stands watch over the city, but it was pretty much always with a “blue sky” mentality and a care-free manner… never with the weight of anxiety as had gripped the city for three days.  I can’t say that I’ve been to Paris’ city hall as many times as the Eiffel Tower, but to see this magnificent building dressed in black was an incredible thing.

Combien de fois j’ai eu l’occasion de traverser le Pont d’Iéna, m’approchant tout doucement l’un des quatre piliers de la grande dame… mais toujours sous un “ciel bleu”… jamais sous le poids de la crainte tel que souligné par la présence des soldats dans l’image. Je n’ai pas été aussi souvent à l’Hôtel de Ville de Paris, mais voir ce grand bâtiment habillé en noir n’en est pas moins impressionnant.

I am 5,000 km away, yet it has impacted me. Perhaps because it was only a couple of months ago that a lone gunman shot an unarmed soldier in my nation’s capital and stormed our national parliament… it was a gamechanger moment.

Bien que je sois à 5,000 km de là, ça m’a touché. Peut-être est-ce parce qu’il y a à peine quelques mois un seul fou armé a tué un soldat non-armé à Ottawa, avant d’entrer dans le parliement national canadien. C’est un de ces moments qui changent tout.

This being said… in two weeks, I will be there as well. I’ll be there for the long haul… and I can’t wait!  I come representing One who, time and again began teaching the people with the words “Fear not.”

***

Thanks for stopping by again this morning!  I wanted to try my hand at a bilingual post, but for the time being, getting the HTML code right for the tables involved is a bit tricky and slow-going. I’ll have to get better at it (or get a better way) before trying it again.

God bless you today!

Ceci dit, dans deux semaines, je serai là avec vous. Je ne serai pas simplement de passage, mais compte rester un bon moment… et j’y ai fort hâte! Je viens en tant que représentant de quelqu’un qui, à maintes reprises, commença son enseignement au peuple avec les mots
“Ne craignez point.”

***

Merci de me lire ce matin!  Je voulais tenter de faire un article bilingue, mais pour l’instant c’est beaucoup de travail pour bien manier le code HTML requis pour les “tables”… faudrait que je m’y habitue un peu plus avant de ressayer cela de nouveau.

Dieu vous bénisse aujourd’hui!

France in mourning…

January 8, 2015 By in Events Tags: Leave a comment

Today is a national day of mourning in France, and the nation is hurting.
It is also resilient and resolute.

Many of you will likely have heard on the news yesterday, about the gruesome attack in Paris, killing twelve but leaving millions asking why. The hashtag #JeSuisCharlie has popped up everywhere… a reference to the name of the weekly satirical newspaper targeted by the assassins; Charlie Hebdo. The publication was definitely left-leaning and irreverent in its tone, but that irreverence was shown equally toward Christian, Jewish and Muslim communities. Not my cup of tea, for sure, however yesterday’s events were senseless.

JeSuisCharlie, Charlie Hebdo

All over France last night, vigils were held, town squares were filled and people banded together in an attempt to both seek comfort in community and show united determination. Below is a short video (1:45) by Thomas Blanc at TV Tours, of people gathered together in Tours, France (about 45min from Châtellerault). Kudos, M. Blanc, for a wonderful depiction of French solidarity in the face of adversity!

.

 

Note also that another hashtag popping up in the Instagram, Twitter and Facebook worlds is #PrayforParis. Rather incredible… a largely secular society is asking for prayer for its national capital and, by extension, for the nation.

Let’s give them what they’re asking for:
Pray for Paris, and for France on this, their national day of mourning.

 

AIMKids MM2 – Five Changes

January 7, 2015 By in AIMKids Missionary Moments Tags: Leave a comment

AIMKids Missionary Moments are designed to be a resource for Sunday School Teachers / Youth leaders, to help kids relate to the life of an MK (Missionary Kid). They’re intentionally short because we know you already have a lot of material to cover.

.

5 Things that will change or have changed for us?

.

  1. House: Until our arrival in France, we will have lived in the same house for our whole life and had never moved. Soon we will be living in the missionaries’ house, so we have to be extra careful, because it’ll mostly all be their furniture & stuff.
  2. Church: Our church at home is about 300+ people, with about 40 youth and 100-110 in Sunday School usually. When we arrive, our new church will have 25-30 people (depending on the Sunday), 8-10 kids (including us) and NO GIRLS (besides Sophie).
  3. Friends: All of our good friends will still be at home in Canada. We’ll be able to text back & forth and sometimes FaceTime them, but it’s not the same and sometimes we’ll get lonely. The next nearest church is 2.5 hours away so it’ll be hard to get to another youth group sometimes to have more church friends.
  4. Neighborhood: At home we lived in the city and knew our neighbors for our whole life and there were friends who lived close. We could walk to the donut shop and grocery store but in France we’ll be a little farther from downtown and we’re not so familiar so usually mom & dad will have to take us.
  5. Language: This is a biggie!  Everyone speaks English at home, but in France pretty much everyone only speaks French. We speak some French because our mom & dad spoke it at home, but sometimes it’ll be tiring to always try to understand.

Prayer Focus:

– Pray that our church grows so more people & more kids know Jesus.
– Pray that we make some friends in our city.
– Pray that God helps us to improve in our French.

2014 in Review + News

January 3, 2015 By in Events, Process Tags: 1 Comment

The New Year has arrived and with it, the natural tendency both to look back and reflect as well as to look ahead in anticipation. Let’s give you a quick recap as well as an update on preparations:

2014… the Blog

From a blogging perspective, the year was a good one according to the statistics monkeys at WordPress.com… the following numbers are from them:

  • Wordpress.com, WordPress Blog, Year in Review, 2014The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. AIMLong.ca was viewed about 10,000 times in 2014 so if the blog were a concert at the Sydney Opera House, it would take about 4 sold-out performances for that many people to see it! (That’s pretty cool!)
  • There were 301 pictures uploaded, taking up a total of 109 MB. That’s about 6 pictures per week.
  • The busiest day of the year was January 18th with 479 views (the day we launched our Intro Video).
  • The Top-5 posts of the year were:
    #1 – Intro Video  (438 views)
    #2 – Got a Call? Feed it!  (332 views)
    #3 – #IAmGlobal  (179 views)
    #4 – Letter from my Pastor  (176 views)
    #5 – A Hallelujah Moment!  (158 views)

Thank you, WordPress… for being a great blogging platform!

2014… the Project

With the help of the Lord we…

  • Raised commitments for over $96,000.00 toward our $120,000.00 goal.  This is what we will live on for the next two years, if the Lord tarries.
  • Received monthly commitments & one-time offerings from 0ver 100 churches, groups or individuals.
  • Traveled 20,000+ km throughout the States and Eastern Canada.
  • Presented our Vision in 38 church services in 22 cities.
  • Connected with other AIMers and Global Missions staff.
  • Have gotten to know and been encouraged by incredible pastors and individual supporters from across North America!

Fear & Answered Prayer

We constantly find that fear is “nipping at our heals” concerning the sale of our house. We find ourselves, on one hand, wanting to make contingency plans in case it doesn’t sell before our departure but on the other House for Sale, 1 Pugsley Avenue, Saint John, NBhand, we don’t want to lack (or appear to lack) faith that God is able to work the sale out (despite a poor real estate market and a less than ideal time of year).

That being said, there was a very favourable showing before Christmas (they have to get their house on the market) and there is a showing today. We have said for some time that we are praying for 2 very interested parties who will bid against each other in the hopes of moving the timeline forward sooner. This showing today, is an answer to prayer.

Prayer Alert: So….. Those of you reading this before 2pm Atlantic time, please pray for this viewing. Thanks!

Furniture… on the move!

We will be making our first trip “to the shed” today with some of the larger pieces of furniture that will spend the next two years “locked away”. This means that yesterday in particular…

  • a great number of boxes were filled
  • a long day was stretched late into the evening
  • Value Village will soon see several bags of books
  • the Church flea market will inherit a few boxes and last, (but not least)…
  • the local landfill will see a good number of things that we’ve never had the guts to throw out sooner… can someone say…. P-U-R-G-E!!

Final mailoutAIM2Go, AIM UPCI, AIMLong

 The other thing that we managed to get done between Christmas and New Year’s, was to prepare and mail out our final packet before departure.

The mailing consists of two (2) printed copies of the “Praying for our AIMKids“ infographic that you saw last week. Each of our partners willl receive one as well as other pastors across North America that we’ve had contact with at various points..

The Goal, if you recall was to (a) recruit prayer supporters for our kids and (b) provide pastors and Sunday School or youth personnel with a way to get kids connected to missions.

Here you can see Dominic & TImo hard at work helping me stuff the envelopes… they’re troopers!

 Coming up…

A few things on the horizon for this week:

  • January 7th: Watch out for our next AIMKids MIssionary Moment post, entitled 5 Changes (I think, as a rule, I’ll publish those Missionary Moment posts on Wednesday)
  • January 8th: Our last visit with the folks at Stephenson Tower. This will be tough as we’ve been visiting them for the past 6 years or so.
  • January 11th, at 6:30pm, there will be a send off service at Mission Point (130 Mark Drive, behind Downey Ford).

Thank you for your prayer support again this week!
You open doors for us!

AIMKids MM1 – What’s an AIMKid?

December 31, 2014 By in AIMKids Missionary Moments Tags: Leave a comment

This is the first of a series of 10 posts entitled: AIMKids Missionary Moments
(For a full list of all 10 topics… click on #AIMKids in the top menu bar or click here. Hyperlinks will be added as the Missionary Moments are published)

The Goal: Each post in the series is designed to be a resource for Sunday School Teachers & Youth leaders. A tool that will help kids…

  •  connect to missions in general.
  •  relate to the life of an MK (Missionary Kid) specifically.
  •  understand how they too can help their friends know more about Jesus & his love.

(These posts are intentionally short because we know you already have a lot of material to cover.  This first one will act as an introduction to AIMers and AIMKids in general.)

.

What are AIMers?

.The term AIMer refers to someone who goes on AIM (Associate in Missions) for short-term missionary work that usually last 2-months to 1-year (in our case it will be between 1.5 – 2yrs).  AIMers can be single, a married couple or a family (like us). They can be in their teens, twenties or even older. Generally they work with other missionaries – it’s rare for them to be all by themselves in another country.

Some AIMers…

– Cook for Bible School students
– Photocopy invitations to church & teach Sunday School
– Put together text books for Bible School students
– Paint walls & repair buildings
– Try to start new churches

Our parents are going to…

– Pastor the church while the missionary goes to the USA on deputation
– Teach at the Bible School

.

What are AIMKids?

Actually… AIMKid is a word that our dad made up. Have you heard of MKs before? They are Missionary Kids… technically we’re really MKs too… but just through the AIM program, so my dad liked that word.  Since our dad made it up, that makes us the first AIMKids ever!  How cool is that!?

We’re going to…

– Help our parents by being the worship team during church
  (we’ve had lessons for a lot of years, but it’ll still be new to play in most services)
– Help pray in our city and pass out invitations sometimes
– Do our school at home (homeschool)

.

Prayer Focus:

– Pray that God will help us learn the new songs that they sing there.
– Pray that God will help us with our schoolwork
– Pray that we’ll be brave and meet new friends & tell them about Jesus.

Pray that God will help you to be brave about talking to your friends about Jesus & how he loves them.

.

  • If students have specific questions, please email us and we’d be happy to respond specifically.
  • Please let kids know that by praying for us regularly, THEY TOO are part of taking Jesus’ love to France… they’re part of missions!

4 Weeks from France!

December 27, 2014 By in Uncategorized Tags: , , 4 Comments

Have you ever done a major move?  If so, you’ll be able to relate to what we feel. It seems barely imaginable that we are less than four weeks from moving across the ocean to set foot in France.  With that in mind… let me give you a few updates:

Out with the Old

Ultimate Windows Doors & More, Saint John, NB

You’ll remember from Wednesday’s post that we had taken delivery of a 10′ x 16′ shed that would hold all of our worldly possessions… (well, not really, but at least a portion of the furniture that we will store).

Here are a couple pics of the early morning arrival. Ultimate Windows Doors & More, in Saint John, built this in just over a day and had it delivered within a week of ordering it. Slick as a whistle!

It came on the back of a wrecker truck and is now patiently waiting for us to fill ‘er up!

In with the New

2014_12_house

It looks as though these will be our new digs upon arrival in France. Since we will be there for 2 full months before Pastor & Sis. Brochu head back to the USA, we will need a spot to hang our hat.

It is generally very tough to rent a home for a short period of time in France for 2 reasons:

a) it is just tough to find and
b) houses (whether for sale or rent) typically come without a fully equipped kitchen – only a sink is required by law, the rest is the responsibility of the occupant. Having to install a full set of appliances and cupboards for only a two-month rental makes it highly infeasible.

Nonetheless, God opened a door for us to be able to rent the property pictured above for the two-month period, after which we will use the Brochu’s home.  Not only has the Lord literally given us an open door, but he’s given us one with a fully equipped kitchen!

Christmas in Canada

Christmas at MissionPoint Church

When is Christmas NOT your average Christmas? 

When it’s the one immediately before your departure to live as ex-pats in a new and foreign country.

We spent Christmas Eve with our church family at MissionPoint and I had the honour of hosting that service for the first time. I shared the stage with over 35 kids who got a lesson in Mysteries & Miracles… they were so great!  There were another 15 or so, under the age of twelve, in the audience who were a bit shy but did come forward to get their own Mystery & Miracle sleuth kit!

From there we drove to Moncton to be with my mom. I don’t care how old you are… you’re never too old for mom’s home cooking, turkey dinner, seafood chowder and a sweet or two (or twenty!).

Preparation & Prayers

How can you help us this week?  Here are some specific things to pray for:

  • We are nailing down the details of insurance while overseas. Pray that that works smoothly.
  • We will begin a new round of packing & moving (trying to fill the shed)
  • We will begin saying some goodbyes
  • We will be preparing the final mailing to partner & prospective partner churches  (mentioned here)
  • We will begin preparing for our farewell service on January 11th.

Know this….

There are times when exhaustion would get the best of us, but we are able to carry on because of His strength, our resolve and YOUR prayers.

Thank you for strengthening us… you make a difference!
God bless you today!

Christmas in France

December 24, 2014 By in Places Tags: , Leave a comment

Have you ever found yourself wondering what Christmas is like in France ?
Today I’m going to give you a little taste!

Paris

Christmas in Paris, 2015, Instagram @andosyion, Eiffel Tower

2004 was the last time I was in Paris around Christmas and there were some incredible sites to be seen.

  • A 50-foot tree outside of Notre Dame Cathedral, decorated with red & silver ornaments.
  • A positively HUGE tree inside the Galleries Lafayette that spanned the 6-7 stories of open atrium inside the store.
  • A dazzling display of lights outside of the Galleries Lafayette store….

But today I want to show you something of what Paris looks like this year. There is a gigantic snow-globe under the Eiffel Tower: which you can see to the right.

Of course I’m not there yet, so it’s not my picture. It was one taken by andosyion, someone I follow on Instagram. Check out his gallery and you will be mesmerized by his collection of great shots!  (You won’t be the only one, he has some 2.3K followers).

Châtellerault

 In North America we may have our Christmas parades, but that’s not typically as common in Europe… I’ve never seen one. In fact Santa Claus as we know him takes a back seat to St. Nicholas in many European homes and he comes on December 6th rather than the 25th. No Santa doesn’t, however, mean that nothing special happens…

This past Sunday some 8,000 people came out to see le Spectacle Rêve (The Spectacle of Dreams), put on by the local circus arts school on a 300-square meter stage in downtown Châtellerault. Here’s a 3.5-min video that will show you some of the highlights:

http://vimeo.com/115246745

What do you think…..  Santa Claus Parade or Spectacle of Dreams?

.

Preparations

Early this morning we took delivery of a 10′ x 16′ shed that will be stored on a friend’s property. Once we get through Christmas, we’ll begin in earnest the process of moving some furniture into this storage unit. It’s non-heated storage, but most of what will go in there should be fine.  The few things that need heated storage will be elsewhere.

We had a very positive showing on the house last weekend… pray that things advance nicely and smoothly on that front.

Four weeks from yesterday we will have left Saint John Lord-willing… (now THAT’s quite a thought!) Thank you for your prayer & financial support.
You are part of #Revival_inFrance!

…and in closing for today… a very Merry Christmas to you!
