Updates

So I realised it’s been almost a month since I’ve posted about Africa, so I figured I would let you guys know what’s up.

Not a whole lot. Things are going slowly. I’m having to trust God and pray a lot for the finances and other logistics.

I’ve been reading up about missions and the problems it’s facing. One thing that I know I’m guilty of is thinking of missionaries as quasi-divine beings. When in reality, they are human as well. Mistakes happen. I’ve been looking at these mistakes and trying to figure out how I can not make the same ones. I’m being challenged particularly with what I’m planning on doing. I want to go there to find out whether full-time ministry is for me, but I need to be very careful that I’m not doing something that one of the nationals could do.

I don’t want to get too caught up in missions philosophy, but I do need to be careful about what I’m telling those I interact with through my actions.

On the financial side, fundraising is going very slowly. I need to raise 3500$. Every little bit helps. if you want to help me, comment this post, or e-mail me at dominicvilleneuve1995@gmail.com .

I would appreciate it so much.

Also, I have some prayer points, please pray that I would know God’s will, that I would be able to walk in step with Him, and that the finances would be available.

Thank-you soo much!

Why Alberta?

So it’s May 3rd, I look on Facebook, and all I see are pictures of green grass, growing flowers, sunshine, camping trips and swimming in the lake.

Then I look out the window, and I see snow falling.

Fairly heavily.

And I ask one question: Why did I move to Alberta?

Seriously though, there are no mountains (I feel so exposed!), It’s windy like you wouldn’t believe (Biking against the wind is worse that any hill I’ve ever faced), and it’s cold (yuck).

I must be crazier than I thought.
