A week from today, Sarah and I leave on a tour of Canada! We would love to see as many of you as we can manage, though of course we can't get to every community where you will be. Here is what would be helpful: If you live in a place where a number of students could come for an evening or weekend afternoon, maybe you could arrange something and let us know, and you/we could invite people there

Okay, so I realize that since June 2009 I am the only one who has written on this blog. It may be dead or dying of old age. But just in case, and rather than writing the same thing on every Kaleo Blog, may I direct you to the K8 Blog (not because I love them more - you are all my favorite year of Kaleo!) where I wrote an update on us. I am amazed at how often we still run into or hear about many

Hey, check out the info on the opportunity to come alongside a Kaleo Eight student this year! Click here for all the details. We miss you, and would love to have you still involved in the ministry of Kaleo. Here is a way to do it! We hope to hear from you soon.

I am intrigued with what God is doing in Kaléo right now. A number of people have identified this coming year of Kaléo as “a year of grace.” I have a couple of news items for you, in which God’s grace will continue to show itself. First, this is the statement that was made to the Qwanoes staff team on Monday morning:A decision was made by Qwanoes, and accepted by Jim Badke, Kaléo Leader, that Jim

I was walking by the Guest House the other day and saw that Brittany's tree is in bloom! It hasn't been since we first planted it, so it is obviously finally taking root and growing, with four large pink blossoms gracing it. How Brittany loved pink blossoms!This past weekend, a memorial was opened for Brittany and her brother and his fiancee. You can see a video of the opening at the Winkler

So married life is going great, enough said. We are going to Barbados in 3 weeks which we are both really looking forward to.

Hey All,It's been a long time since anything has gone up here. So in a bit of an attempt to get something going I have revamped the blog a bit so it is easier to see things, function, etc. You will see the "Submit Post" button is back so it's easier then ever to post again.Lets start hearing some of those stories from 2007 that we haven't heard (or at least that most of us haven't heard). Cheers,

These posters will be displayed in Pacific Woods Lodge, but you can have a copy at home too. I have placed the full-size files of

It seems that I around this time, I remember Brittany for who she was in all of our lives. I know that God had a bigger plan for Brittany and I am thankful that she was a part of my life and everyone else's for such a short time. We were all touched by Brittany and at times through the year I remember her love for others and try to do the same.Today I have been thinking and praying about the

Hey KaleoI just wanted to let you know how YQ '07 went this past weekend. First of all, it was the best YQ that I have ever been to and been apart of it. There was so much positive feedback from the changes that were made to YQ.I experienced true freedom this past weekend. That was actually one of the main topic that was talked about in all the sessions and concerts over the weekend. Every

I just wanted to share the excitement with everyone that I have officially been accepted into the Elementary Education program at UVic! I'm extremely excited, and I absolutely can't wait to get into the classroom! It's so fun to finally see a life-long goal becoming (slowly) fulfilled.

Ok, so maybe it's not all the way across Canada, but is anyone living between Victoria and Winnipeg interested in taking part in a road trip out to Julia and James' wedding this summer? Anyone interested in being visited, even if they can't come along for the ride? I know Amber and I are starting to think about possibilities, so if anyone else wants to get in on the planning, let us know. We may

Believe it or not, we already have a number of Kaleo Five students in place - people who in some cases were born in 1989 (next year it will be the 90's!!). At the same time that we are blessed out of our socks every day by Kaleo Four, we are already feeling blessed by Kaleo Five as we get to know them long distance. Our prayer is that God will continue to pull them from every walk of life to come

So it is after midnight and I am preparing for an early flight home. My grandma with whom I am very close, in the past week caught some unknown virus in Cuba and her health has progressively declined. I am just asking for prayer as I fly home to Toronto from Winnipeg, my brother from Kaleo, and my dad from Kenya. Thanks.James

I like these.I especially like that my sister is the one that showed them to me, which means she realizes that not all Christians are so bad...I'm not sure how I feel about the fact that I'm hoping to be compared with a Mac, though. But I suppose I can put up with it. Because these are very cool. (and no, I'm not going to tell you what they are, you'll have to check them out for yourself!)

Depression cuz I'm deep in it and grief because for the last month or so I've been

Hey all. Reading Tarchuk's post I thought I better let you all know what is going on in the life of Colin. Well for starters I'm still in Prince George doing mursing (male nursing) at the local college. I'm in my second year there. Planting sucked, but in terms of planting, it was a good season. We finished planting on Aug. 4 (a fairly long season), but I made the mistake of continuing on

But don't worry, it's not on purpose. I've just had a really bad cold, and thus have temporarily resorted to tea. Lots and lots of tea. Well, I've got good news. Nope I am not engaged, but I am in final year at UVic! Yeah for graduating six years post-entry! And, I get to enjoy my final year here (I say final because only God knows where I'll be next) with a few Kaleo-one-ites: Julie & Kaitie.

Hey everyone! Long time no post here ;)After staying 3 weeks after camp ended, editing hundreds of photos and helping to setup the camp with a good starting block for the photographer next year. Now I am back in Alberta for a bit. My parents have asked me to take some pictures of their cattle for some promo material, so that will be fun! Going from taking pictures of crazy kids to cattle? :D I am

Well...seeing as we are all talking about jobs... I'm in PEI and I've decided I'm not moving to Edmonton... I'm heading to NYC in a few days and i'm just tempted to stay and nanny (myles has multi-millionaire friends who are looking for nannies).... or.. head home and try and finish off that debt a bit there... it's something you can pray about, but being out here has got me thinking... I need to

Finally! And it's in Kamloops...just can't get away from that town! But record set right now - first town I've returned to for a second year. Not that it was my idea though...I must have been God's because SOMEHOW everything got organized and brought about without me. I didn't even apply for the job! The job is at Kamloops Agriculture and Range Research Station - yay Agriculture Canada. I

Hello all,soo after a crazy good summer I am back home in Victoria. I am so happy to be home on the most part but Im unemployed and it kind of sucks. I think I will post again when I have more energy and less on my mind. But I pretty much just wanted to ask you all for prayer. I think God is going to do some really cool stuff with my non christian friends this year, I am praying alot that I

ok well... yesterday some of our Kaleo family went canoeing:jim, Ben and Danny Badke, Jordan, Nate (Kaleo 2) John Hepting (Kaleo 3) and I all paddled to saltspring and back and then we found the old rope swing half way up maple mountain and decided to go for a jump. (jordan did some crazy jumps and such) As I was jumping the last time my hand slipped and I fell hard into the water and on the way

As the summer is raping up, my mind tends to wander on to what is next in my (what feels like) endless journey."What job am I going to get?""Where am I going to live?"or the ever popular, "What the he-hey-ho am I doing with my life?"This summer has been a great experience for me. I got to spend 4 months doing something I absolutely love, being sleep deprived and working 12 hours a day. Ok just

So I have a week or so off this summer, and Sarah and I have decided to take the little red bomb and go on a road trip! Our plans are fairly indefinite, but we are thinking that we will leave Monday, meander our way to the Rockies, down to Montana by Friday, do a little backpacking with Jonathan (Kaleo3), maybe see Kallee (Kaleo2) and then return through Washington. Sorry, Michelle - we have to

Hello all,Just wanted to drop a quick little note on how things are going at Qwanoes. For myself, things are going great. I am definately figuring out how to organize myself and keep to a assigned schedule. The photographs are going great, its amazing how many wonderful opportunities God is providing for me to capture. Kailyn is working really hard in Artrageous. This week it is Jr.'s week so she

So the social workers came, and it was a pretty tough day. And that night was a very tough night for the kids involved. I can't tell you how much I hate that, nor how much hatred I have for the person who is doing this to them.Tomorrow the social worker is meeting with the parents, so if you could pray that the outcome will ultimately be positive (whatever the outcome is) and that things don't

Sorry I have not posted anything for a long time, although I do read everything that is posted to try to keep track of all of you and pray for you as well.I do need your prayers right now though. Yesterday afternoon I woke up from a nap after work to policemen banging on my door to tell me that one of my closest friends, Ben, had been biking in Langley and was struck by a car and did not survive.

Hey guys...so I'm having a rough day and I really didn't know where to turn but to you guys for prayer.In a few minutes I have an emergency meeting with a social worker and a couple of kids...and I'm terrified. The ramifications of all this could be huge, and for the time being will likely be more negative than positive. I'm really scared that the steps I'm taking to keep these kids safe will

...TO POST!Yes, yes, I'm a hypocrite. One of those people who regularly checks the Blog and once in a blue moon posts something myself. But Kristi inspired me (or maybe it's just cause I'm at home sick and procrastinating work) that I decided to post, and I hope a bunch of the rest of you will let us in on your lives too!So where to begin?In April I graduated from the two year Creative

Hey Guys! Before I get started I've got two catagories of prayer requests: 1. Personal:It's been a while since I've blogged, I've been reading the comments lots but not taking the time to write, life has been super busy and I feel like keeling over from exhaustion about now... I just have until the middle of next week until my one job is done, then I only have one to deal with! I'm tired of 11
