It was different from all the other classes that we have taken over the last several months which definitely made it more of a challenge. I thoroughly enjoyed having Grant Poettcker as our professor for the week; he was always willing to answer the questions that we had in the clearest way that he could. </span><br />

Modernity and postmodernity should be to some extent understood by most people. Overall, it was a class that stretched me, causing me to think about some things that I had never really thought of before. </span><br />

Honestly, the whole class was a challenge for me. It was not easy to get through material that I had no background information on. The pre-course work that I have done and the post-course that I am still working on continues to confuse me while also allowing me to grow through the confusion and desire to understand what modernity and postmodernity are and how they effect us.</div>

Today I am sharing some photos from an awesome camping trip we went on just over a week ago. We camped at an amazing beach spot on the west coast of the island called French Beach. The goal was to spend some quality time together while focusing in on what it takes to finish the year well.<br />

It was a blast to hang out and catch some good food together. Some had a hard time opening the crabs and didn't want much to do with eating them while others dove right in and got their hands dirty right away.<br />

<span style="font-size: small;">From February 11–25 all the students got to go to either Mexico or Vancouver for our mission trip. It was our choice where we got to go and it was interesting to see where each student chose to go. I happened to choose Vancouver, and when we were in Vancouver we stayed at two different locations; New Beginnings and Potter’s Place. New Beginnings is a church in the downtown area with an outreach to First Nations families. </span></div>
<div style="font-weight: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-weight: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Our time at New Beginnings was the bookend to our trip. </span></div>
<div style="font-weight: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;">While we were there we spent most of our evenings helping run children and youth programs at the church. This included pick up and drops offs seeing as most families do not have vehicles, food preparation and serving, and of course teaching and playing with the kids. During the days we got to do other projects such as moving, cleaning, and construction. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">For the middle part of our trip we were at Potter’s Place, a soup kitchen/church right on East Hastings, which tries to reach the homeless who are living on East Hastings or in the surrounding area. Our days at Potter’s were very different. In the morning and the evening we were given the opportunity to run their services, which include worship, a message and a meal. During the days we got to go on many different prayer walks going through the community praying for the different people we saw on the street. Both of which were incredible opportunities. </span></div>

<div style="font-weight: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;">It was really hard walking through the downtown seeing the people who are completely broken and especially when many of them don’t feel that they have any hope. Many of the people, of East Hastings especially, don’t care what other people have to say; they are so dependent on drugs or alcohol that they don’t really care about much else. While walking down the streets, back alleys, and through the parks there were many people who were clearly ashamed but still doing everything in public because they are so dependent. I saw many people shooting up on the streets while we were walking by. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-weight: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;">It is unbelievable how obvious the influence of drugs is on those streets, especially East Hastings. Millions of dollars every month exchange hands on East Hastings because of drug deals. It was extremely hard to talk to many of those people and know that we were unable to do anything but pray for them, and give them something to eat and drink. However, no matter what anyone has said in the past, or what anyone says in the future, many people on East Hastings are completely open to the idea of being prayed for, and most of them want to get off the streets. </span></div>
<div style="font-weight: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-weight: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Although my trip is over I know that every person I talked to, everything that I did and everything I saw happened for a reason. I know that God can make a change no matter what. Prayer is a huge thing that is needed on those streets and is something that I was able to be a part of during to trip. I don’t know if I have ever prayed that much in my life and I think that it is actually a really sad fact. While being in downtown Vancouver there were many moments when all we could do was pray. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">We wouldn’t have the words, the actions or the strength to do anything else so we would pray. </span><span style="font-size: small;">We prayed for countless people and in moments that were scary we would often offer prayer as a way to escape from the situation. I learned that I need to be way more dependent on prayer and spend a lot more time doing so. </span></div>
<div style="font-weight: normal;">

<div style="font-weight: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I am continuing to hope and pray that God would continue to work in and through me. Even though my trip is done God’s plan is not done. I want to continue to serve Him in whatever way I can regardless of how difficult or frightening a situation may seem. I know that God is always in control and I am so grateful for that, and I hope that you are too. </span></div>

It’s almost been two weeks since returning from El Papaloté, Mexico, and I have enough stories to last a lifetime. I’d love to share a few of them with you, in hopes to glorify God and encourage you.<br />

While partnering with Northern Light Ministries in Mexico, I had the opportunity to partake in three different types of ministry: work projects, outreach, and community care. Work projects filled up most of our time, and were a highlight for me as we were able to work with the Mexican Bible students, learning Spanish and building friendships. As a team, we laid a cement pad for a Pastor’s house, dug a (huge) hole for a septic tank, stained stairs, repaired sidewalks and prepped for a ramp. Needless to say we were satisfied and exhausted every night.

Outreach included working on behalf of NLM’s church to reach into the communities through children, youth and adult events. These events are especially exciting to me as I say God work in incredible ways. One highlight would be our children’s event in a neighbouring village where I met an entire family whose children were quite sick, and situation quite poor. I was able to cook them hotdogs (a meal the youngest didn’t even know what it was) and days later return with bags of rice and beans for them. What a blessing it was to then see them at church, hearing His Word and meeting all sorts of wonderful people. Our last type of ministry was community care: a trip to the nursery and a trip to the dump. Both situations pulled on my heartstrings and neither situations left me with much hope. At the nursery, we played with children who receive little attention and no toys all day long. To simply pick them up and hold them brought a huge smile to their face. The dump is home for many individuals who have no where else to turn and are just looking for their next meal. We gave them bags of rice and beans, as well as clean water and hotdogs. We prayed for them, and continue praying for them.<br />

Mexico offered a new perspective on life which I had never seen and many things were difficult. Being an individual who loves words, the language barrier was one of these difficulties. When I met families like the one at the children’s event, I would have loved to be able to communicate with them the hope and love Jesus offers. To have so much to tell them and literally no words, proved to be one of my unexpected difficulties.<br />

God did some amazing things around me in El Papalote. One of which was playing with the children who came to church. There were three girls and two boys who I was able to play with one of our very firsts nights there. Later we jokingly called them my gang because they stuck so close to me. I could barely wrap my tongue around their names and they were so loyal: where I went, they followed. It made me think of the Bible verse which calls us to have the “faith of a child.” God was really revealing to me how important and what a blessing it is to have such faith.<br />

One of the things we love to do is go to the annual Missions Fest hosted in Vancouver. It is a huge get together of organizations from around the world that come to share what there about in one big festival. It's a mix of big worship times, in-depth sessions and simply exploring the booths of different organizations (there was hundreds!).<br />

I didn't take many picture while we were there because we were so busy experiencing it. There were tons of individual sessions that were smaller and more intimate. These sessions were on a huge variety of topics from speakers all over the world.<br />
<br />
While we are in Vancouver we were able to stay at a local Baptist Church. It is a tradition for us to put together a music team and lead for them on their Sunday service. This is both a great opportunity for the students to gain more worship experience but also a way we can bless the Church.<br />

Missions trips are coming up fast as well leave in under a week. There is a buzz of activity at camp as the students just finished their Missions course, and are now studying for the exam. Please keep all of the students in your prayers as we get ready for these trips. We have two teams heading to two locations, one team to Baja Mexico and the other team is heading back to Vancouver.<br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by this week!<br />

This week I get to share about one of my personal favourite parts of the program, opportunities to practice first hand what you are learning. This is just one of the many aspects about the Kaleo Program that really helps to set it apart as an excellent place to grow as a leader. It's not widely known, but every Friday or Wednesday the students head off from camp and help run different youth groups all over the Cowichan Valley. This is so crucial to what we are about, it's not just bout learning and growing, but finding ways to serve and give back. Over the year the our students have great opportunities to grow real relationships with kids at their youth groups and get first hand experience where they might not have before. </div>

Because there are these great opportunities to be involved in youth groups, every year we love to put on a youth night at camp, completely run by the students. It is an opportunity to have the kids from all of these different youth groups come and see our home and experience an event put on by their leaders from youth.<br />

This was a trip that many of us have been patiently waiting for as it slowly approached on the calender. Last week it was finaly time.<br />
<br />
We were packing the vans in the dark of monday morning as we were preparring to head out on our next adventure. After a 3 hour drive we pulled up to where we would be spending our next five days together, Mt. Washington.<br />

In contrast with the last time we made the drive up this mountain road, this time there was snow! That said, there wasn't much, but there was definitely snow, and we were so excited to hit the slopes.<br />
<br />
This weeks blog post is a photo epic of our time up at Mt. Washington.<br />

Durring our trip we got to stay at an amazing ski in and out chalet. This is one of my favourite parts of the trip, getting to spend so much quality time with everyone after being apart for christmas break.<br />

We had some amazing evenings togheter, taking some intentional times to worship, and also encourage one another.<br />

The week came and went pretty quick, but the memories will stay around forever. It was so amazing being able to spend quality time with this amazing group that feels more an more like family every day. As one student said, "I didn't think we could grow closer, but somehow we did!"<br />
<br />
This is why I love the Kaleo Program, it is such an amazing fusion of studying hard with each other, serving wherever you can, and having a blast with each other in creation! The best combinations if you ask me.<br />
<br />
Until next time,<br />

The first class of the semester was Pauline Epistles with Josh Stigall. Due to some plane delays from weather the class actually got delayed by a couple days, but everything ended up working out great. It was fantastic to have Josh with us and the students loved the course.<br />

Josh has a very hands on learning style, challenging groups of students to present on different research that they worked hard to put together. It was great to see so many people getting opportunities to share what they had been learning.<br />

The students are wrapping up their last class before Christmas: Introduction to the Gospels with Wes Olmstead. It has been a full week of class lectures, preparing group presentations, and wrestling through tough questions about who Jesus is and what He is calling us to. For many students, this week feels like they are “drinking from a firehose” because there is SO much to process through in a short amount of time. But it is so worth it! </div>

As the students are studying the very words and life of Jesus, they are being challenged in their own spiritual journey. They are asking questions like: What does it mean to be true disciple of the Jesus laid out in Scripture? and What does obedience look like in my daily life? It is great to see them chewing through such vital truths and drawing closer to Christ in the process.</div>

In this last week before Christmas break, the students will be finishing up post-class assignments as well as enjoying some fun Christmas festivities! We will be making Christmas decorations, cutting down our very own Christmas tree, enjoying a staff & student Christmas Banquet, and sharing our talents at our staff & student Talent Show. We have lots to look forward to in this last week before the break!</div>

The last week was one packed full of exam studying, exam taking, and paper writing. At the end of the week we took a hard earned break and went to visit some of the best caves on the island. This weeks post will be a quick share of some of the photos form our adventure, enjoy!<br />

Fall has definitely come here at Camp Qwanoes and a big identifier of that, is our annual week of prayer with the Kaléo Program. Every year we take a week to dedicate towards prayer.<br />
We want to be people of prayer in everyday of our lives, but it is always special to set aside some intentional time out of the busyness of our day-to-day, and spend time alone with God.<br />

During the week we set up a special room and had someone praying in it for most of the hours of the day. From sunrise, to sunset, and right through the night. We had a schedule that students would sign up for 1 hour slots throughout the week.</div>

It was definitely a busy week with all the academics the students were working on. Yet despite how counter intuitive it sometimes felt to take an hour and just spend it with God, everyone expressed so much gratitude for their time set specifically aside. It was really cool to watch the room slowly get covered in prayer requests and people sharing their praise and thankfulness. It was a really powerful week that I don't think many will forget anytime soon. </div>

<h2>
Community Fireside</h2>
<div>
Once a month all the students and staff at camp take an evening to get together in small groups at different staff houses. This is one of the way we try to be intentional with community here at camp, and making sure the staff and students are getting opportunities to get to know each other. It is a great way to get to know the families of camp staff as well. </div>

This past weekend was also one of our last retreats of the fall. It has been so great to watch the students jump in with servants hearts and help put on these amazing weekends for youth all over the island and lower mainland. </div>

We all got together dressed up, made caramel apples, and had a blast with a karaoke contest. It was so much fun allowing a bit of everyones wacky side out, there certainly was no shortage of laughs. Hopefully there isn't any clips of the karaoke that will ever see the light of day. </div>

<h2>
In the fall here at camp we have retreats.</h2>
These weekends are a great time were campers can come and experience Qwanoes in the fall. The students have been helping run the past couple retreats and it has been a great opportunity for them to get involved in the larger ministry of Qwanoes. It gives them a practical way to apply their studies and help put on an amazing weekend for kids.<br />

<h2>
The Blessings of Biblical Study</h2>
<div>
Over the past weeks the students have been hard at work with their 3rd course of the year, Old Testament Literature with Professor Don Taylor. This class is an excellent foundational class for the year as it helps cover an entire view of the Old Testament. In the span of one week Don Taylor was able to walk the class through the themes, imagery, prophecy and literature. This is one of the areas that is very beneficial about studying in a modular format. Covering that amount of material in such an intense time period, really helps for some of those 'big picture' connections to be made. </div>

<h2>
A Word From Isaiah Moffatt</h2>
Again, who better to share about the experience than someone who took it themselves. This week we have one of our students sharing about his experience.<br />
<br />
"O.T. Lit. was an awesome class! There was a ton of information to take in (and I definitely don’t remember everything) but it was great to help me understand the big picture of the Old Testament. Most of the time when reading the OT, I used to get lost on the meaning and confused by all the jumping around in stories. Now I feel like I got a pretty good understanding of the small details and culture of that time. The stories I already knew have begun to take on so much more meaning as I see them in the big picture."<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcWG-iL451rFcKH1KkqQSWjHowLiODti3nsltjWRogI6uY5ukec1_VxLS1TyF7Wbj5K05WCAvJG3bx2pBVduMd5eT8qwJ-B0huvfRyVG-mraZW_GmEgNg3mFeBH4gaSaLDgA3I1nMDZvv_/s1600/IMG_0731.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcWG-iL451rFcKH1KkqQSWjHowLiODti3nsltjWRogI6uY5ukec1_VxLS1TyF7Wbj5K05WCAvJG3bx2pBVduMd5eT8qwJ-B0huvfRyVG-mraZW_GmEgNg3mFeBH4gaSaLDgA3I1nMDZvv_/s1600/IMG_0731.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
"It was pretty cool to see how God hasn’t changed from the Old Testament, and remains the same loving God even now. In most of the lectures we were going through all the stories in O.T. one by one and getting a better understanding of each. My favourite part was reading all the stories with the class and hearing all the questions we had and hearing how even small details changed the meaning.<br />
<br />
A lot of questions seemed to point towards the culture of the time and a lot of understanding the Old Testament was actually reached by figuring out the culture. Don Taylor was an awesome Professor and if I go to Briercrest next year, I will definitely take one of his classes!"<br />
<br />
Huge thanks to Isaiah for sharing his thoughts on the course. We are big on being able to practice what we are learning, but we are also big on making sure we are doing everything we can to learn and study with excellence. It has been so great to watch the students this year rise to the academic challenge and commit themselves to learning all they can.<br />

The program certainly requires students to develop and continue to grow in their skills of personal energy and time management. There is a lot packed into their life and finding the space to do everything to the best of their abilities takes hard work. They just took their exam for this course a couple days ago, and are now focusing on wrapping up their research papers on the course. It has honestly been so cool to see all the students hard at work studying their books. </div>

Excellent Leadership on Display</h2>

An awesome project the students worked on for this course was the yearly Old Testament video. Every year for this class the students get together and put their best acting skills to use for doing a dramatic re-telling of the OT events. I personally love seeing this project come together in it's various forms. Each year the students bring their own flair and it's so exciting seeing what they come up with. </div>

There were three student directors in charge and they had just over a week to start and complete the project. The directors did an amazing job of leading their peers and spreading out the tasks. I have now seen 3 of these videos come together and I can say with confidence this was definitely one of the best team efforts I have seen put into the project. All the editors, script writers, actors, directors, and everyone else was putting in so much work to help pull this thing off. </div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 16px;">There could not be a more unique place to go to school in Canada, I mean that sincerely. I might have a 'BC born biased' to that statement, but I think most of our students from across the country will agree that they are loving their new island home. Where else in the country can you summit epic mountains one week, only to go surfing a few weeks later.</span><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 16px;"> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue;">On this trip we set out to surf in the most accessible area in Canada, Tofino! This little surf town has a legendary reputation and the drive from Camp Qwanoes to Tofino certainly only builds the anticipation. </span><br />

We stayed in a community called Uculet which is just 25 or so minutes south of where we went surfing. In Uculet there is a wonderful little Church which graciously let us stay and make our meals at. It was huge blessing that we didn't have to camp in the rain.<br />

I had the incredible opportunity to go surfing for the first time, and overall I thoroughly enjoyed it. The first day of surfing we had some smaller, more manageable waves that I faced with a fierce determination, never allowing the salt-water in the face to phase me. First thing the following day, I went out deeper where the waves were bigger and next thing I knew, I was being tossed about by waves that were much larger than I expected. The experience taught me about knowing my limits and showed me a tiny glimpse of the raw power of God who spoke the oceans into existence.</div>

<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I have found the Kaléo program to be a huge learning experience, on more than an academic level. Through living in community, I have been challenged to learn how to live with integrity; a challenge that I will no doubt be learning and refining for the rest of my life. It is incredibly encouraging to know that everyone here loves and supports each other and that we will be growing as a community throughout the year.</div>

The program we were sailing with is called the Sail and Life Training Society, or SALTS for short. The organization shares similar values as a Christian Non-forprofit and it was so fantastic to share our time together. We spent a lot of time aboard the boat, but we also would take occasional trips to different islands to explore!</div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">A large vision behind the Kaléo program that flows through everything we do is helping the students to grow in their walk with God, and grow as leaders. Our time together didn't happen because we wanted to ‘just go hike a mountain,’ we had purpose behind what we did. We were seeking to grow from every moment and opportunity. Frequently we would stop and reflect together and engage in intentional discussions. So in this way we have so many more memories than just a good view and a hard hike, but rather now we have memories of where we met with God and grew as a group.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Hello!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">My name is Janelle Wills and I am one of
the Kaleo program interns this year. I am so excited to meet you all very soon
and I am already anticipating the incredible ways that God is going to grow you
throughout the year! As you are preparing to jump into the Kaleo program in
September, I want to give you a little heads-up on the academic component of
the program. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">When I was a student in the Kaleo program
during the 2012-2013 school year, academics played a huge role in how God was
shaping and transforming me. As you know, the Kaleo program is so much more
than fun out-trips and crazy adventures. It is an opportunity to dig deep into
Scripture, to stretch your heart and mind, and to grow in godly character as you
learn from some of the best professors Briercrest has to offer! For me,
academics pushed me to wrestle through important truths that grew to shape my
entire outlook on life and faith. I hope and pray that each of you takes full
advantage of this opportunity to be radically shaped by academics. Trust me, you
will not regret it. ;)<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">In order to make the most of your academic
studies, it is important that you have an accurate expectation about what is
coming. I’m not gonna lie – sitting through class lectures, reading books, and
writing papers is going to take up a lot of your time and energy. At times
course work might feel like your worst enemy. But push through the challenges
and I believe academics can produce some of the best rewards. There is no way
around the academic requirements of the program, so you might as well embrace
it and give it your all. Your hard work will be so worth it! So do not
underestimate the benefits of striving for academic excellence. Invite God to
challenge and change you as you honestly seek for the truth and as you give each
course your best effort. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Although I want to stress the weight of
academics, I also want to ease some of your worry. Here are a few practical
tips that will help you strive for academic excellence and make the most of
your studies at Qwanoes:<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">#1. Don’t fret! Anytime God calls you to do
something He also equips you to do it. He asks you to give Him your best and
then He uses that for His purposes. One of the big things I learned as a Qwanoes/Briercrest student was how to be content with doing the best I could with the time
I was given. Even if academics is not one of your strengths, continually give
it your best shot in every circimstuance and trust God to walk with you in the
process. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">#2. Don’t procrastinate! Know your
deadlines, use your time wisely, and hold each other accountable. The class
schedule has been specifically structured for your success, but at the end of
the day it’s up to you to get things done. Stay on top of your readings and
assignments and you will find that the workload is totally manageable. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">#3. Utilize your resources! Read your
syllabi, attend academic workshops, use the Qwanoes library, talk to your professors,
ask your leaders for help... Everything you need to do well is made available
to you, so take advantage of that.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">#4. Learn together! One of the cool things
about the Kaleo program is that you get to do everything in a close community
of like-minded people. Share what you’re learning with others, explore hard
concepts together, and help everyone reach their full potential. In a
community, success means ALL of you succeeding together.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">#5. Take action! The Kaleo program is
unique in that it incorporates so many opportunities to practice what you are
learning in real life situations. Be intentional to apply new concepts as you
engage in church ministry, camp ministry, community life, leadership
opportunites, and outdoor adventures. Your desire to learn and grow will continually
increase as you demonstrate genuine character growth in your daily life.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">As you wrestle through new and challenging
concepts, I hope that you ultimately pursue God above all else. Be stoked about
academics as one of the ways God is going to reveal himself to you, and be
ready to respond when He shows up amidst the mundane, the stressful, and the
engaging demands of the Kaleo program.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">See you soon! : )<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hello Kaleo 2014-2015! I am so excited for the cool amazing ways that you will see God work this year! As a former student I remember many people telling me this at the beginning of the year and it caught me off guard. I was really uncertain as to what I was getting myself into, but what an amazing year! God did so much that I was able to see, and much more that I was too proud to open my eyes and see. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As you have heard the Kaleo program has a focus on leadership development. Some of the greatest personal spiritual growth for me occurred in the area of leadership during the Kaleo program. The term 'leader' has a much more dynamic meaning than you may now know. Your typical leader as someone in an authoritative position of power with people under them is quite narrow minded as you will find out. Apparently the introverted, quite spoken, and non trend setters can lead in ways they don't even know they are doing!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Leadership is a really unique and fascinating concept. I am excited for all that you will learn about it this year! How one human can have such a powerful effect and impact on another human, to the extent that is possible, is beyond me. People of complete opposite character types and personalities can lead in the same powerful, effective way. The perfect mould for a leader that you envision is only one of many moulds. This is exactly where you can see God do only what God can do; use the weak to lead the strong. Weak as in muscle, sure but that is far from the point; weak as in shy, absolutely; weak as in not courageous, for sure; weak as in afraid of uncertainty, certainly; weak as in opposite of what the world would call a leader, indeed! As you dive into service, classes, out trips and so much more keep your eyes open to see how God uses people to lead others, including how he uses you to lead others. Godly leadership takes strength, but only the kind of strength that God gives will suffice for the job. Please, I urge you and myself, don't think you can do it on your own.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">For me personally, and I believe for all people, the key to leadership is a servant heart! Servant leadership cuts through barriers and obstacles like a hot knife in butter. Jump in and serve God! Allow God to use you however He will as you lead others this year and on! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">A note of caution and encouragement on this topic. Leadership is not for the weak, meaning it is challenging in so many ways: intentionality, integrity, prayer, planning, flexibility, humility, pressure, trust, faithfulness, competence, time, effort, the list goes on. As a leader it sometimes feels like you are always giving. This is the challenge...and the reward, it is more blessed to give than to receive. That being said the rewards are very much present and leadership is very worth it. That is, if you are leading others towards holiness and Christ likeness, directly or indirectly. Godly leaders rely fully on God's strength, not their own, to do the work of God. That is where the strength comes from. Keep your eyes open for how your leaders, Andrew and crew, rely on God's strength. You will learn a lot from them. Then, as you lead others, the privilege is on you to rely on God's strength. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So take courage, be bold, and go to God for help! Seek Him and ask Him to use you to lead others towards Him. Soak in what you are taught about leadership. Enjoy the somewhat terrifying, yet oddly fun, games with so called leadership lessons. Practice leading, in different styles too. Be prepared to be put in tough and uncomfortable situations, but trust me from my experience that it is worth it and you will grow in really cool ways toward Godly leadership. I'm so excited for each of you to grow in this area and I am even more excited for when the leaders of Kaleo 2014-2015, you guys :) , go out into the world as missionaries with servant hearts ready to lead others towards intimacy with Christ!!</span></div>

Riley excelled at being intentional </span>with<span style="font-family: inherit;"> conversations and challenging people </span>among the community. Riley was always willing to challenge others, ask them what they are learning, and pray for them. Here's Riley:<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hey Kaléo 2014/2015!<br /><br />I am so excited for you guys to be here and being a part of this program! This program has many aspects that will help you to grow in your faith and one of those is the community in which you will be living. <br /><br /><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>You guys will be doing life together for 8 months and will be challenged by each other and grow with each other. There are a few things that I believe will help you guys to get to know each other faster, deeper, and quicker. Firstly, be real and follow after God first. Let your guards down and be vulnerable, it will happen eventually but when it happens is up to you. Secondly, it takes courage and initiative. Everyone wants to be a part of a community, and a community centred around Christ is the best kind of community. However, if nobody has the courage to start going deep and challenging one another during the year, it will not happen. If nobody takes the initiative to start to try to learn about all these other people in the program, it will not happen. Take initiative and be the first to get to know one another and care for one another truly loving them in Christ. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Thirdly, be a part of this community here at Qwanoes. Plan to be with the people that you are living with here and now. Be here for the people that need you now, finish things that need to be finished before entering the program, tie up all loose ends before you make the journey out here. Whether that loose end is: apologizing to someone in high school that you didn’t get along with, or maybe you are in a disagreement with someone at home; make things right before you come out here. It may be difficult and humbling but it will be good, not easy, but good. You never know God’s plan, it can end up being very different than your own. Tie up loose ends because you don’t know when you’ll have the opportunity to tie them later. I cannot stress this enough, finish and tie up things at home so that you can be present here with the people here, not always skyping people back home every chance you get. I avoided doing this before I came out here last year for the Kaléo Program and the person that i didn’t apologize to, or make things right with, haunted me all year long, and now i’m here for another whole</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> year; did i plan that to happen? No, but God has a plan and we don’t always know it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Fourthly, be prepared to get to know people, expect to get to know people and strive to live life along side them through the good and the difficult. There is only one you, only you can affect people the way that you do, so make your impact on people count for the greater good of the kingdom of God instead of your own self.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="font-family: inherit; white-space: pre;"> </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Thanks for reading this guys, hope this gets you excited for the upcoming year and getting to know a lot of other people.</span><br />

<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Continuing in our series of posts from last year's award winners, here is a word from Cara Tetreo the adventure award winner. </span></span></div>
<div class="Body">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="Body">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>First off I would
just like to say that I was not the most adventurous heading into this program.
However this past year through a lot of the out-trips I have learned about
allowing God to take me out of my own boundaries and build perseverance. I have
learned to try new things and not push myself so far that I will never try it
again, but step by step I was able to accomplish what I thought was not
possible for me. Through prayer and the overwhelming encouragement I received
from my friends in the program I realized what I thought was not possible, was!
This program will stretch you maybe more so than others in this component but
that is good thing and it will allow you to receive growth in learning new<span lang="SV"> skills, </span>being
challenged, relying and trusting in God and your fellow students.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Personally I have
realized that through the adventures, it is important to really absorb what you
are doing and how it applies not only to the program but your life and walk
with God. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">While
you are on the adventures try to let the beauty of His creation around you soak
in and take those challenges as an opportunity to talk to God! A huge stretch
for me was our out trip to Mount Albert Edwards. I knew that this out trip was
going to be quite the challenge and I was unsure if I was able to accomplish
it, having never hiked much before. However I used prayer all through the hike
as a big support and there was nothing but praise and thankfulness towards God
that I felt while reaching the top of that mountain! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I also suggest on
the adventures that you take the chance to be intentional in starting
conversations with your fellow students. Ask them about their interests, home
life, hobbies, family and more. The adventures are a great opportunity to bond
together, have fun, and really get to know each other. While you still can do
that during life at Camp Qwanoes, the adventure component is really tailored to
communicating with one another, which allows to create a community very quick. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Also, while you are
going through your what to bring lists to pack for this September ask your
friends, family or church family if anyone has what you need on that list. I
ended up buying a lot of new things for our out trips when I could have easily
asked people if I could borrow for the year. In the long run it saves you money
and if you end up loving the adventure you tried you can always buy the stuff
needed later to pursue the activity after the program!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

just like to say that the adventure aspect of the program is such a highlight! You
are going to make memories of a lifetime with such an incredible Christ-centred

We are only a few short months away and these posts will provide some opportunities to prepare your hearts and minds for the journey that awaits for your next year. Here is a post from last year's valedictorian, Stephanie Pauls.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi83_HBuJvbJuq-Z4536n_zeFWalPllkKhyTwd_forOvrlwumE4KijPqVGZLz26DjbemvbJ1Vqcme9J7YEbW9u1bB0i9VZkJNheEt3Q41ntRhVOFtbUeLw6bAbVt6xPa7a7YQVYzXRiaW8/s1600/10268423_10152076423185658_6825479357101779444_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi83_HBuJvbJuq-Z4536n_zeFWalPllkKhyTwd_forOvrlwumE4KijPqVGZLz26DjbemvbJ1Vqcme9J7YEbW9u1bB0i9VZkJNheEt3Q41ntRhVOFtbUeLw6bAbVt6xPa7a7YQVYzXRiaW8/s1600/10268423_10152076423185658_6825479357101779444_n.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><span style="font-family: inherit;">"Hey future Qwanoes students! I remember my
excitement growing more and more each day as the promise of living on Vancouver
Island became closer. I have no doubt that doing the Kaléo Program was one of
the best things I could have done after High School and I hope you feel the
same way after your year, no matter what stage of life you may be in at this
time. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Looking back and reflecting on my 8 months
in BC, there is something that I wished I had known before I began. The year
will be made up of the moments you experience and then how you grow in your
walk with God as the Holy Spirit shapes you through each of these moments. The
Kaléo Program will not change you, instead it will be God’s work in your heart
as you live your life for Him and take every opportunity to learn.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><span style="font-family: inherit;">One of the best parts of your year will be the
abundant amount of opportunities that you will have. They will come in many
forms like connecting with God in the beautiful Island outdoors, meeting lots
of solid Christian people, learning about your faith and the Bible from college
professors, and being genuinely invited to take part in a church family. But
every opportunity comes with a choice as to whether or not you will take
advantage of it or let it pass by. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><span style="font-family: inherit;">It was only later in the year that I began
to understand this concept. It is so easy to miss out on opportunities when you
do not properly value their importance or see them for the good they can
accomplish in your life. It is important to never put off what you are meaning
to do. There may be conversations you want to have or a book that you looking
forward to learning from. Using the opportunities to their full potential will
become great experiences, which will then become chances for you to learn and
grow. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><span style="font-family: inherit;">So while you prepare for Kaléo 2015, ask
God to show you things that He wants to change in you. Spend time in prayer and
conversation with God, because it will be in each moment that you are willing
to grow that you will find yourself becoming more of a godly leader. So my final
advice for you as you come into this intense year learning and growing is, do
not do anything half-heartedly because those experiences will become what you
make of them. Simply “doing” activities or schoolwork will not help you learn
the most that you can. Growth happens when you acknowledge where God wants to
change you and then intentionally step out of your comfort zone.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
