Pender Island

This past weekend, I was privileged to travel to Pender Island with my fellow TREKers. Pender Island is a small island just east of Vancouver Island and as you will soon see, it is quite beautiful. We stayed in a lodge that the MARK Centre is currently leasing (check out their page for more details and some pics). We did many of the same things that we we would normally do here in Abbotsford, including hearing from inspiring speakers (Steve Klassen, Sam Dyck and Ray & Judy Harms-Wiebe) and some work duties. We also had time to take in some fun activities, like canoeing, hiking, and my favorite: frisbee golf! But rather than writing a bunch, I have included 13,000 words worth of pictures.

Frisbee Golf = good times

I'm smiling because I finally remembered how to breathe. 6˚C water is so refreshing!

A good place for skipping rocks

We all had a really great time on Pender, and we are now back in Abbotsford, learning about spiritual authority. We heard from Randy Friesen today, which was really inspiring and challenging, and I am looking forward to more sessions throughout the week with Keith Martens.

God is good. Thanks for reading.
