3 Weeks In

Hey Everyone,

So it has been quite a while since I have updated this, mainly just because I have not had the time. Life is crazy busy out here. It seems every time I turn around or finish something there are 5 more things to do. But I absolutely love it. 

We just spent this past weekend in Toronto and went to UTW (United Through Worship), which was a 12 hour day where all the campuses of colleges and universities in Toronto gathered to worship and pray. It was phenomenal! Faytene and Derek Schneider both spoke and blew the roof off the place. The next day we spoke at 2 TACF churches. The one in the morning was unbelievable. The worship was awesome and we had a total revival style meeting even before they handed Faytene the mic. In the evening, Faytene just rocked it and brought a powerful, powerful word. It was a trip I will never forget, mainly because IT WAS MY FIRST TIME EVER IN TORONTO!!!!!

Just to tell you a little about my life here...we do some amazing/crazy stuff all week. On Monday nights we go and pray right in front of the Morgentaler abortion facility in Ottawa. Its part of a movement called 40 days for life that is in Canada and the States. In the first week , we had a reported 39 babies saved from abortion!!!!!!!! In conjunction with this every Tuesday during the lunch hour we do what is called a life tape siege. We all stand in front of the Peace Tower on parliament with red tape across our mouths that has the word LIFE written across it. We stand in humility asking Canada to end abortion and pray the silent prayers of the babies yet to be born or who will never be born. It is so powerful and everyone who walks by gets to see this which is a testimony in itself that the abortion issue in Canada is not dead.

Life here is just so incredible. There is no such thing as "everyday life" lol. If you want to know anything else about what we do just drop a comment and I will be more than happy to answer it. Actually please do comment even if you don't have a question. 

Well I love and miss you all very very much and hope to talk to all of you very soon. Email me at jeffturnerhayes@live.ca if you want.

Blessings,

Jeff
