High Power Soccer 07 Wrap-up

Thank the Lord for all High Power team members who gave of their time for all the children who participated in this year's VBS at Northside. Over 50 kids attended the mini-soccer camp held at the chapel and at a nearby school playing field. On Friday most of the parents came for the closing program and a "High Power" barbeque. After all the kids were awarded their hard earned prizes, Jim Comte reviewed what the children learned during the week. The kids learned about heaven from the Word of God and how to get there. Jim reminded everyone present that God sent His only Son to be our Savior and that if we recieve Him by faith we can be sure of sins forgiven and a home in heaven. After a slide show everyone stayed for a BBQ and some freindly matches of soccer, "Parents vs. Kids!" and the team leaders vs. the older kids. Vera who directed the VBS would like to thank everyone who helped and all of you who prayed.
Almost 100 people enjoyed a High Power Barbeque in the Chapel parking lot. The rain stopped during the VBS closing program and the sun came out just in time for the BBQ!

High Power Soccer Day 3

High Power Soccer at Northside Bible Chapel completed day three. 51 children participated on Tuesday and 51 today! Although the area really needs rain, we were glad it did not rain here in Barrie! Campers enjoyed more high power drills and skills and loads of fun. Thank you for praying for our team and for the camp.
Here is today's memory verse:

For the wages of sin is death;
But the gift of God is eternal life
through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romans 6:23

Corozal Update...

Here is the team from Canada in front of the mission house built in March 07.



This just in from Belize...

The Prime Minister has just this morning declared the
Corozal District a disaster area. Praise God however,
there has been no reports of any loss of life. Damages
include down buildings, roof tops gone, lucrateive
papaya crops wiped out plus other agricultural
business. Electricity and water, as we write has not
yet been restored for both the Corozal and OW
Districts. We will be visiting the are shortly to see
in what ways we may be able to help.

We will keep you informed.

Watch & Pray.

Hurricane Dean & Corozal Town, Belize

We are just getting reports now in the news about how poepled fared in Corozal after Hurricane Dean made landfall in Belize. CBC radio reports heavy equipment is clearing debris from the streets. No reports of deaths or injury yet. Just a few months ago a team of 15 from Ontario built a small mission house in Corozal. I'm sure all of us will be very interested to know how folks are there and if the building sustained any damage. Let's remember Belize in our prayers.

For the eyes of the LORD are on the righteous,
And His ears are open to thier prayers;
But the face of the LORD is against
those who do evil. (1 Peter 3:12)

An example of what fierce catagory 4 winds can do (This was from Hurrican Andrew some years ago)!

Memory Verse!


Dear praying friends,

Today was Day One of Northside Bible Chapel's High Power Soccer Camp, 2007 here in Barrie. We praise the Lord as 43 kids came the first day! A team of about 15 are running the programe. We have a great coach and several assisstant coaches. The kids are divided into two groups, each having about 1 hour of soccer instruction, including skills and drills. The kids also have crafts and are working hard to gain points through memory work. Please pray for the leaders and for the campers as they have fun and learn about God's love in Christ Jesus.
Please come again later for updates.

In Christ,
