Whistler BC  September 2011

In Whistler BC enjoying some down time with my beautiful wife Elaine and son Max (a resident of Whistler for the past 3 years).  The weather has been great, Ive been on the top of Whistler mountain, rode the Peak 2 Peak and went Bunjee jumping for the first time.  It was awesome! Tomorrow I am going to Ziptrek in the mountains.

100 Holes for Haiti Pictures

What a great day!  Lots and lots of golfing at a private golf course (Beverly Golf & Country Club), lots of good food, great fun and funds raised for both Stella House Orphanage (41 orphan children) and Hopital Albert Schweitzer ($80,000.00 and counting)!  Thank you to all who participated and/or sponsored.   Here's some pictures:

Medals were awarded to those who managed to play 100 Holes or over for the day

Police Association Talk

It was a significant time with 60 police (retired and/or active) at the Police Association on Wednesday.  Some took home the book "Lord of Bellavista" and/or the video "The Untold Stories of Colombia".  Both are really good resources to understand what One Mission Society and Prison Fellowship International are doing in prisons in Colombia.  Powerful stuff!  If you are interested in the book or dvd, it is $10.00 each to help us cover the cost of purchasing the book or video. 

Andy is inspiring.  He has CP and is training for a very, very long bike ride to help raise funds for Colombia ministry (http://www.missionpossiblecolombia.com/).  Read more about Andy on the website....

Tomorrow: 100 Holes for Haiti

Tomorrow is a golf event at the Beverly Golf and Country Club supporting Stella House Orphanage in Haiti and Hopital Albert Schweitzer, Haiti.  This will be our 9th golf event supporting these two very worthy and needy causes.  Thank you in advance to sponsor(s) who make it possible to help raise 41 Haitian children and treat some of the most severely malnourished children in Haiti.  It is a marathon day of golf at a beautiful golf course and for two beautiful causes!

Today: Police Association in Hamilton

Today, my good friend Andrew Moore and I will be making a presentation on Mission Possible Colombia and the Prison Ministry at Bellavista Jail, Medellin, Colombia to 60 police officers at the Police Association Building.  I am really looking forward to it.
