Canada: 24-7 tribes gather in Calgary - 13 Apr 2005
|
It all got going late Friday afternoon when about 150 people from across Canada gathered in the beautiful sanctuary of St. Paul's Church in Calgary (home of the "Urban Monastery" - North America's very first Boiler Room!) |

Last week's get together was the first time the tribes of 24-7 Canada gathered together in one place and the agenda was clear: to thank God for what He's been doing across our nation these past 4 years and to invite Him to continue to pour our blessing and increase a heartbeat of prayer, mission and justice!
Highlights:
-
Realizing there were people from at least half a dozen countries attending!
-
The dancers moving and grooving to the sounds of "The Vision" while the images from the new book scrolled in the background (well done Dave!)
-
Story sharing time on Friday night ... great stories
-
The fantastic Roast Beef supper that someone donated (!!) on Saturday night - yummy!!
-
Loud, rocking, and fun worship with Venere!!
-
Communion on Sunday morning ... clustering in groups with people we'd never met before, but really feeling like we are all brothers and sisters as the elements were shared ....
-
One girl said, "in my mind, seeing the urban monastery and meeting people who work and pray there made me re-evaluate what i do with my time, my money, my life ..."
-
Pete Greig's talk Saturday night on the "Fist size rain cloud" ... run for cover people, a storm is coming!!
-
Crowd surfing prayer for Oria, Sherry, Paul, Corey, Chris, and Dan
-
The two guys off the street who stayed all night (both nights) to pray and then went out to feed the homeless
-
The workshops Saturday - learnt a tonne!
