Tonight I had a great privilege to be part of the a short term mission training in my church.
It was a spirit-filled time. Lots of laughter, sharing and praying. The team is made up of majority youths and I am excited to see the values we are instilling among the youths (that prayer is key in mission, all Christians are missionary, going to church, tithing, does not make you a Christian etc.)
Great times...as I hear them pray, they are focus on letting God to transform them and lead by the Holy Spirit.
We went onto a discussion about revival. The question was ask...how come there is no revival in Mississauga..
and the answer is very clear (if not painful).
- we don't pray enough
- we don't think it is important
- we don't care
- we are too busy
.....
so as I was riding my bike back home. In my city. In my neighborhood. I cannot stop and wonder...when was the last time I pray for Mississauga? Rare was the answer....
All great things start with prayer....and from our knees (ain't my quote...i summarize from another missionary).

this sounds so exciting! wish i could be there to witness the urban short-term missions training & the growth of the youth. but for now, i live vicariously through your blog. (:
amen to all you said about revival. i fall into each of those reasons. let's approach God in humility & brokenness & prayer.
