“Sing, O barren one, who did not bear; break forth into singing and cry aloud, you who have not been in labor!For the children of the desolate one will be more than the children of her who is married,” says the Lord.2 “Enlarge the place of your tent, and let the curtains of your habitations be stretched out;do not hold back; lengthen yourContinue reading “Isaiah 54”

Different Kinds of Rules
It’s been a good week. On Wednesday we drove north to Campbell River and to a nearby provincial campsite. All reservable sites were taken but there were first-come-first-served sites were a possibility. We found a beautiful spot at the base of a hill covered by majestic firs and maples; with trunks big as two folksContinue reading “Different Kinds of Rules”
To the Island
It is interesting that direction can also be by process of elimination. We boarded the ferry early Saturday morning. Arriving, we drove to our destination, a beautiful little campsite on the edge of a river. The remainder of our first day was spent setting up tent, establishing the location of the washroom, perusing and choosingContinue reading “To the Island”
Saturday’s Journey
I write this Thursday morning. 48 hours ago: 1. Not enough funds to secure a ferry passage to Vancouver Island. 2. It didn’t look like there were any campsites to reserve, all the ones I looked at were full for quite some time. It is at this point in time that I re-surrender all theContinue reading “Saturday’s Journey”
July 12th: Discerning the Exact Timing
Once it became clear that I was to give up my apartment (it’s lease was ending June 30th) the thought of a three-month ministry time to seek out the general region for a possible house of prayer simply fell into place. I’ve been navigating with the Lord in an intuitive and spirit-led way for someContinue reading “July 12th: Discerning the Exact Timing”

Her husband had died and her two sons were about to be taken as slaves to pay off their debt. She cried out to Elisha for help. 2 Kings 4:1-7. He askedContinue reading “Hosting the Lord and Each Other”
Our Last Decade
We are keenly aware that Capturing Courage International Ministries is transitioning from 10-years of international focus. In that time we have ministered and experienced the body of Christ in 6 countries, through 18 ministry trips to some 350 churches. Everywhere folks wanted more of what we were bringing. And so, College of Capturing Courage wasContinue reading “Our Last Decade”
The Lord our God is with us.
God is with us at all times. We only need fresh eyes to see and hearts to understand. There is a small verse in the New Testament that reads, “For they still didn’t understand the significance of the miracle of the loaves. Their hearts were too hard to take it in.” Mark 6:52 Jesus hadContinue reading “The Lord our God is with us.”
Growing Together
We are a teaching, learning, growing body of people. Exploring the Lord together is the main thing we do in our international work. We gather with the body of Christ and we share and teach all that God has been showing us, drawing us to, and working out through our lives. Capturing Courage in CanadaContinue reading “Growing Together”
House of Prayer
It’s been a few years since the Lord dropped the words, ‘house of prayer’, into our thinking. Ever since we’ve been holding space to see if this was the Lord, first of all. Then, to allow the details to be slowly filled in by Holy Spirit. Our hearts have been caught ever since. At CapturingContinue reading “House of Prayer”
