Back with Fire

Greetings fellow inhabitants of the world wide web!

So we are back in Yellowknife after a well needed Christmas break, and we are back into the swing of things with a fiery

passion.

Since being back, it seems as though God has been really present within our team. I believe He has revealed the beauty and importance of our team, and how much of a family we really are to each other. We have been thoroughly enjoying each other’s presence both in the office and in our time together as a team. This love for each other and for God is growing so great that we are finding that true desire to share it with those around us. We have a passion for this ministry like none we’ve had before.

Our first Ignite since being back was called the “Ultimate Challenge”, a social night where we had free pizza and set up a series of activities and competitions, and gave out candy for prizes... who wouldn’t want to come? It was tons of fun and actually had lots of new people, thanks to the promotions in the schools that Ben and Mylène created. It was a great success, and the new people said they were coming back.

This week for Ignite, we’re having a night on self-image, and the team's creative juices are really pumping, because we’ve come up with an entire night full of new material for the theme of self-image. Mylène, Ben and Kandace wrote a new drama, while Adele and Tyler worked together to write a two-person talk, and Adam and I focused on some great ideas for the environment. We are praying that the night will go well, and that God will touch the hearts of the youth.

Another exciting event in the life of Yellowknife Infuse is that it was recently Adam’s birthday. We had an awesome night out at Trappers Lake that consisting of an excellent supper, present opening (Adam’s family sent him a parcel full of fun), and a bannock cake covered in northern light candles. We had great fun, and even ventured out onto the lake and saw some real northern lights. A perfect way to finish the night.

We have lots of exciting events coming up, and we would appreciate your prayers for all of them. We have a high school overnight retreat coming up on January 28th and 29th called “Encounter”, we are still hoping for more registrations, and we are praying for a good turn out and for God to really move throughout the retreat. We also have a rally for around 230 grades 5 & 6 students on February 1st, which we are really excited for. As well the week later we have another overnight retreat with students from a community called Behcoko outside of Yellowknife. We are enthused by all of these events, and hope that you will keep us in your prayers as you will be in ours.

We hope that you are all doing well, and that God is blessing you this New Year, and cannot wait to tell you more of God’s amazing work here in Yellowknife.

Until then,

April Fogle
