Canada Arms of Love now officially launched!

I had asked you to pray for the Launch Service of Canada Arms of Love & God answered your prayers. We had a phenomenal time of worship & fellowship.

Now, Evelyn, my Assistant, is cleaning out her office & getting ready to begin the next chapter of her life. She is beginning her own business this Thurs. (May 1st).

I am trying to clean out my office, refocus my life for leading Canada Arms of Love & refreshing what it means to REALLY trust the Lord Jesus for every breath & need of mine & Brenda’s lives. We are so excited about how the Lord has worked in our lives & what we believe He has in store. I sure am glad that “you are on this bus with us!”

My first ministry, as the leader of CAL is to preach a funeral for a pre-Christian man that I never met. A Christian couple asked me if I would try to minister to this family, who has NO church identity. Would you please pray that it be more than just being there to officiate at a funeral? I want it to be a time of seed sowing & wouldn’t it be great if the Lord chose to bring about a harvest!

If you would, please check the website calendar and this blog every so often so that you will know where I am & what’s going on.

This is my prayer for me, “Watch over your mouth with all diligence, for from it flow the springs of life.”

Have a great month of May!

Counting down....!!!

Have you ever heard the saying, “I am here to tell you” or “I’m telling you”? Well “I’m here to tell you” Brenda & I are living in the fast lane, as we storm towards the Launch Night for Canada Arms of Love, Friday, April, 25th!

Our lives are mingled with excitement, nervousness, fear, Holy tension & yet absolute trust in our Heavenly Father.

Do you sometimes wonder does any of this whole thing, called life, makes any sense? I may be a BIT abnormal, but sometimes it seems that we are chasing shadows or butterflies. You might say, “I’m so anchored in Jesus” that I never have those thoughts. Then you are one of those few “Spiritual elite” that have basically reached spiritual perfection! Or, you aren’t living close enough to the Lord Jesus for Satan to see enough “Kingdom Value” to even bother tempting you! It seems to me that Satan goes after us harder & harder, as we seek to be more & more like our master. It is not a sin to be tempted. The sin is in taking our eyes off of Jesus & yielding to the temptation.

Where is this all going? It’s going to the fact that Satan is constantly going after me to give up & forget the call on my life & the ministries of Canada Arms of Love.

Because “greater is he who is in me, than he who is in the world” (NASB), life experiences, as a Christian, have taught me that there is really only one way to succeed, “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.” (Proverbs 16:3 NIV)

Together in Christ,
DK Hale
