A House of Prayer
Praying: At Capturing Courage International Ministries we operate at the root level of things. We do not work at the fruit level, rather, we ask, “What might be at the root of this trouble?” We facilitate conversations, a healing and a wholeness in confession and repentance, a changing of mind in the presence of theContinue reading “What Do You Say God?”
I am nearing one-week into a month’s-long journey, Praying Across Canada. The compelling of the Lord unto prayer, a common lament within an identification with the sins of our land and people, have been upon me for a few weeks now.

I am back to my dads. Out of the chill. But also out of the fresh air! I’ve been keeping my window open a bit at night so that I can sleep a bit better. My dad’s Alzheimers is advancing further. He does not know where he is most of the time. I’m on dutyContinue reading “A Deep Pause”

The Lord tells me where to goContinue reading “Clarity & Heart”
I am in Tofino this morning. Finally, after six weeks of camping we have left the east coast of Vancouver Island and made it to the west. But I did take a final tour of the town that stood out to me. See Last Post. I also called the number on the rental sign. TheContinue reading “Vancouver Island – West”
A House of Prayer. It was Monday. I was driving to my destination. Nearly there but I took a small detour. The name of a town and place I’d not yet explored caught my attention. With only a few minutes off of the main road I found myself in a quaint community. I drove around.Continue reading “Home & Ministry Base :: Canada”
I heard the Lord speak this to my spirit last fall. I’d been hearing that a future House of Prayer was to be on Vancouver Island. And then perceived, ‘On an ancient well of the Spirit.’ Now, I grew up baptist. And even though I am pretty charismatic today I don’t run in prophetic orContinue reading “Ancient Wells of the Spirit”
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”
