Blah. My brain is mush right now and the kids haven't even started to come yet! My co-workers and I have been busy getting the word out on the program, doing prep work in the office, and fixing up the "workforce room" a bit with some fresh paint. Wednesday is the info session for the kids that are interested and then Thursday we put them to work after school! The boss says to expect around 60 kids. . . hmmm, what have I gotten myself into?
Life is really busy. Work 8 hours at YFC, come home and work at least an hour or two for some Willowlake stuff, if not more, and clean the dental office (which I live above, for free!) a couple times a week, then I fall asleep and do it again. I believe I have a girlfriend too, though I barely get to see her now (this makes me sad).
Anyways, it's late at night and I'm actually awake so I thought I should update this. Stay tuned next week when the real excitement starts. I'm hoping to make some lasting relationships with some of these kids. So, if you haven't started yet, get praying, fool!
Peace
About Me

Div. from Carey Theological College, and co-hosts Ignite 107's morning show, "The Hype," each weekday morning from 7-10. Michael's testimony is one of deliverance from the grip of a wreckless and self-abusive lifestyle, into the true healing grace of faith in Jesus Christ as his personal Saviour. Besides ministering at Willowlake, Michael has also ministered to teens in Winnipeg's North-End community through Youth For Christ's "workforce" program run out of Bethlehem Aboriginal Fellowship.
