Six months in Vancouver, Part 1

Victor has began blogging on our ReachtheCity website. He is blogging our journey to Vancouver and our time here. God has carried us every step of the way! Below is the first part of a series he is blogging. Check out reachthecity.org for more updates!!

It’s hard to believe that just six months ago, on May 21, we crossed the border into Vancouver, British Columbia. It was the beginning of a new chapter in our life; although it sometimes it seems like a completely different book!!

If God were to call us to leave Vancouver today, we would leave changed. We are not the same people who crossed the border 6 months ago. In this very short time, we’ve seen God do some amazing things. We’ve learned more about ourselves. Lyndsey and I have learned more about each other. And God continues reveal Himself to us in ways we’ve never seen Him.

We have been forced to take our dependancy on God to totally new levels. Immersed in an unfamiliar setting, we have no choice but to rely on God to guide our every step. Without a doubt, we have been the beneficiaries of this experience. I believe Carson has been a beneficiary as well. He has walked with us and prayed with us. It is hard to describe the feeling of a parent watching God shape the hearts of our children and grow them in His Name.

On May 21, we had all sorts of plans. What we were going to do. How we would get started. When we would begin new things. God has showed little concern for our plans as He has led us down paths we never considered, opened doors we were never looking for, and showed His mighty hand accomplishing His good, pleasing, and perfect will.

In the next couple of posts, I will share stories of how God has worked in our midst to allow us to be used by Him in this city.
