Our UrbanPromise Toronto Camp Hope StreetLeaders
have grown tremendously in their walk with Jesus.
They have previously been the children and youth in the Scarborough
area and have also been past StreetLeaders (youth leaders) in their
community. Recently, they have worked for Muskoka Woods
(Christian Sports Resort) & are graduates in their
CEO Leadership Program.
"Feebz" & "Shine" were baptized on Saturday, September 3, 2011!
One of my greatest joys was to baptize one of my past
YMADers, "Shine", at Muskoka Woods' beach
with his mother and friends in attendance. I was thinking..."Man,
this is the closest feeling I'll ever get to baptizing my own child."
I was so honoured and I was very proud of him. I was extremely
touched to see him make such an effort in making sure that I
would participate in dunking him in the water, remembering that
I mentioned that in many of our past conversations. I was also
very happy to see Feebz (son of the founder of UrbanPromise
Toronto) getting baptized on the same day as Shine.
I've been so encouraged to know that their friendship has continued
and gotten even stronger...especially when I have moved away to
be the supervisor at Camp Freedom in Jane and Finch.
I was even surprised to see "Ism" from Camp Victory getting
baptized on the same day with those guys.
God is so good, all the time!
After first...picking him up in Toronto from leaving Queen's
University in Kingston, ON the night before...then
driving up to Muskoka Woods...then
back to downtown Toronto to see him off to Queen's
University yet again at the Greyhound bus station...
overall, it was a great send-off too.
I prayed over him and his mother including myself for the following
new school year...looking forward to see God's
glory, power and strong love made manifest in our lives.
Powerful testimonies and fruit of our vision to
'Reach a Child, Raise a Leader, & Restore Community'.
Please continue to pray for them as they continue along their
journeys that God has called them to and from what they have
committed and submitted to through water baptism.
PRAISE GOD!!!
