Welcome to Kootenay christian Fellowship, we are glad you are here!

As a community of ordinary people, we believe something extraordinary: that God loves us as we are, has a plan to not leave us as we are, and has made a way for us to be with him, to know and experience him in our lives. This literally makes all the difference in the world. We believe that he loves each and every person, and our desire is that we might be able to serve you in knowing him more, either to introduce him to you for the first time or to fuel the fire in your ongoing journey of faith.

As a community, our vision is to be GATHERED together around Jesus, to be FILLED with his Spirit and to be SENT on the mission of the Father; to bring hope and restoration to the world around us. We would love for you to join us on the journey.

We look forward to getting to know you and please let us know how we can help.

May you experience the peace and love that he has for you.

Power for the powerless

 As I was preparing for the FCA conference next week, I have been focussing on these words from Isaiah 40:28-31

 Have you not known? Have you not heard?

The LORD is the everlasting God

The Creator of the ends of the earth

He does not faint or grow weary;

His understanding is unsearchable

He gives power to the faint,

And to him who has no might, he increases strength.

Even youths shall faint and be weary

And young men shall fall exhausted

But they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength

They shall mount up on wings like eagles, 

They shall run and not be weary,

They shall walk and not faint.

 What struck me in this is that the Lord loves to stand up for the powerless. We have a couple of humanly powerless situations that we are praying for as an international team right now. We can join in prayer for these. One is a little baby, a grand-daughter of one of our leaders in France who was born prematurely and is fighting for her life. She is powerless, but God is powerful!  The other is a very urgent situation in Libya, where there is a planned persecution for today October 1st of black minority groups and especially Christians. They have been urged to flee. In one sense they are powerless, but God loves to give power to the powerless and to those who have no might, he increases strength.

 Again, we see that our weakness is a perfect condition for God to move powerfully in. Where we are powerless, we are the perfect candidates to receive his help and to trade weariness for his unwavering strength and energy. In our weakness, remember who he is. He is the everlasting God, the creator of all, he does not tire or grow weary, he is infinitely wise and he gives strength to the weak, he is compassionate and gracious - and those who wait on him experience the great exchange again and again, our weakness for his unlimited resources. Whatever we are going through, let’s bring it to him, and wait on him and receive his presence into our situations.

 This weekend we have the joy of Ron MacLean and Bryan McCrea sharing with us. Men’s breakfast on Saturday at 9:30am and on Sunday morning. I look forward to seeing you soon.

 Love to all and see you soon, 

Andrew
