One of my favorite things about our time so far has been working with the Union Gospel Mission staff. They are incredible people- so passionate about the work they are doing, so full of life and fun, and so encouraging of our efforts. I think a big part of my team's efforts this week is supporting and encouraging the staff. It is so thrilling to be able to pray for them as well as the children from the East Hastings neighborhood. We took them to the beach today (rough, I know) and as I looked out over the water towards the skyline of the city, the words of the worship song "God of this City" were rushing through my head. the lyrics: You're the God of this City 
You're the King of these people 
You're the Lord of this nation 
You are 

[Verse 2]
You're the Light in this darkness 
You're the Hope to the hopeless 
You're the Peace to the restless 
You are 

There is no one like our God 
There is no one like our God 

[Chorus]
For greater things have yet to come 
And greater things are still to be done in this City 
Greater thing have yet to come 
And greater things are still to be done in this City 


Praise God!

It must be fantastic for the staffs of the various organizations in Vancouver to have your extra help this week!! I am always humbled when someone younger than me gets the glory of God and is obediant. It makes me realize that we are all children of God.
