Ohhhhhh Canada!

Well, it's time to say goodbye to Canada as our team is flying home to places all across the US. It's Thanksgiving tomorrow, so we're headed out to be with family and friends from coast to coast. If you see a plane flying out of Toronto today there's a pretty good chance one of us is on it. We'll be back in a few days with more thoughts on last night, but know that as we go all of us are carrying the amazing sight of 4,500 university students going for it in worship... and the sounds. Yeah! The sounds of many voices calling out to God, filling the Ricoh with prayers for Canada and the song of Jesus.

And, like a lot of you, we are so encouraged. God is BIG...really, really big! And He's making Toronto a place for His renown!

Hopefully there will be more pics posted later today.

Louie (and the Passion Team)

  • Be encouraged by Joshua 1:6, "Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their forefathers to give them."

    May He provide His travelling mercies to all of you as you head back to the US, and have a very fruitful and blessed thanksgiving weekend!

    Come back soon! :oD

  • Hello Louie and the Passion team,

    I hope you enjoyed your stay, experienced a friendly, warm, Canadian welcome (I don't mean the weather), and had a great time worshipping with us.

    Louie, everytime I hear you speak, I always learn something new and always have to rejoice at this new revelation :D We really needed to re-focus on how awesome our God is, thanks for showing those images to us. Truly: "There is no one like you, and there is no God but you". Thanks for your contributions at 7|22 and for the impact you've made on everyone that's heard you speak.

    Charlie, thanks for sharing: "Sin has lost its power, death has lost its sting, from the grave You've risen VICTORIOUSLY!" -- that encompases an integral part of the Gospel.

    Chris, thanks for sharing that new song with us. I'm expecting that show up on a Passion Toronto CD release! :p

    David, thanks for your constant humour and ability to awaken us to some extreme lactic-acid-build-up-ing worship: "When our depravity meets His divinity, it's a beautiful collision."

    Staff, volunteers, etc: thanks for making the night run smoothly. When working behind the scenes, only the Audience of One sees the amazing things you've done, but it's totally worth it :D

    Have a great Thanksgiving weekend, see you at Passion 2006.

  • thanks for coming to our city and uniting us all under one roof. It was so good to praise Him with all those people, doing the same time. He heard our voices that night, and thank you for giving us the chance to call out to Him in worship

  • Ok! Amen! Now let's go feed the poor, cloth the naked, vist those in prison, look after the sick, and give water to the thirsty.

    Or we could all just sing some songs again. That sounds like a lot more fun.
