ONE LIFE Experience - Video

Joey, thanks for transfering the blog. I think that was a good idea. We should see if we can attach the OLE logo to the header of this page.

Providence

We've been desperately searching for a genuine water pump that we would use in an African Area Devellopment Project - it would be an important element in the "Marketplace" area where people can tangibly experience the various community development solutions that World Vision offers. We have had very little luck until Josh Shurr (aka Supernman) from the Humaitarian and Emergency Affairs Division got on the case. He found us a leftover unit....not in Africa, or in India where the manufacturer ususally ships the pumps....but in Nebraska USA.

Thank You God.

And just to prove that God has a sense of humour: The name of the city where the pump is?.........

The August Project

As the clock ticks away, I am intriged by the amount of work that is 'August' or 'Edmonton' or 'OLE' or 'the Amoeba'. These words are words that have taken on new meaning for the OLE team. When one of these terms is used, in any context, I see a unique emotion displayed on the faces of OLE sojourners. World Vision staff come by the "coral", experience the kinetic movement of the amoeba, and then realize that they have become more than sojourners.

I am not a direct hand in the clockwork but I am influenced by the people who are going to bring the OLE to Edmonton in August. These colleges are doing something that has never been done, at this level, by World Vision Canada. They need us to become pilgrims with them. Why? The workload is heavy. The strength required is impeccible. Therefore, together we need to thank them for their work, encourage them to press on, and lend a hand as the mountain grows. To God be the glory.
