Celebrating Achievements is important! We wanted to share these pictures from our Graduation which occured just before Christmas. We call these mini-grad’s (since it is not the end of the whole school) a Love Feast! On another note we had a huge test this morning (Had to memorize the reason every book was written in…

We had quite the scare last night when right around 8pm people bust into the computer rooom – a tsunami is coming! After the shakes we’ve had these are not so funny jokes right outta the blue. Well anyway, there was a 8.2 (or close to it) quake northeast of Japan and the whole Pacific got…

Everyone always wants to give their opinion on a subject- ever notice that? Even if they aren’t asked they’ll offer it: "What a nice day out today." "Yeah it sure is beautiful, not quite as nice as yesterday though." So here on our site, guess what- we WANT your opinion! We love comments…

How good and how pleasant when brothers dwell in unity… Psalm 133:1 Two nights ago we had ‘aloha night.’ Every quarter right at the beginning we have a big celebration welcoming all the new students! Island Breeze (a hawaiian ministry team) performed two amazing dances and there was a procession of flags representing all the…

We are game people! Anyone who has spent any time with us knows that we love games! In a few days we will have very little time to play games and so we are getting it out of our systems during these last few days of vacation. Ben thinks it is a good thing to…

Well – we’ve seen it. And it’s big. Rainforest like Penang, coffee plantations like Columbia, ranchland like Texas, volcanoes like Hawaii, the ocean like the Caribbean – this island has it all. We enjoyed two days of driving, walking and picture taking around nearly the whole big island. We enjoyed the pleasant atmosphere of the Hilo…

We arrived late last night back to Kona and realized that this place was starting to feel like home. It’s a funny feeling when you start to think a place like Hawaii is home, but as I type these words and barely notice the seven kids that live above us jumping off their loft I realize…

Even without the snow and cold Christmas is still in the air here on campus. If you stay on this page for a minute or two a video will start that highlights our Christmas celebration here last week. It ranged from upbeat Christmas carols, classical music, a commissioning by Lorne Cunningham (founder of YWAM) for a group of DTS teams leaving for…

Frank Abagnale Jr had a very unique life even before he turned 19. This movie by Spielberg starring Tom Hanks is quite a story, basically a true story (watch the extras). Obviously his is not a life we should aim for but it is a reminder that good things can still come from something broken, we…

I can’t believe it but it is true! We have finally finished our books reports! Imagine summarizing an encyclopedia! That is what our book reports basically were! Can you see all the exclamation marks? That is because we are finished!! And so tonight we celebrate! We are going over to our friend Bryan’s house…

Just imagine a stagnant pool…can you see it? Algae growing on top, no movement, the water begins to stink because it has no oxygen flowing… Now imagine a fresh bubbling brook, moving, dancing, laughing! Can you picture it in your mind? We have just finished studying the wonderful book of Philippians where the main…

There has to be a first for everyone – today was ours. We finally had the opportunity to travel around a little. A couple graciously loaned us a car this weekend and on sunday we took her up north through Kohala, hiked this cool trail down like 500ft to a secluded black sand beach.…

Always wanted to go to Broadway? This is a big weekend at our home church Kilcona as they present their annual Christmas Musical. This year they have taken a different twist and it is a broadway style, with singing, dancing, acting and everything! My best friend Liza May is directing it and I know that…

This week we have had two experiences that have been awesome! 1) We got together with Colin and Tasha Doerksen (Ben’s cousins) who were here in Hawaii on vacation. They came and picked us up in their car on sunday morning and we went to church together. Afterwards we went to ‘Bubba Gump’s’ for…

We are doing our very best to keep this blog updated VERY regularily and also give you a variety of different glimpses into our life, from work to play, pictures to videos! This week I decided it was time for a new video. It is 2 minutes and it gives a short run down of…

Actually Ben didn’t have any booties on because he was in the shower, but let me tell you he sure got out fast! In case you hadn’t heard, we got rocked again! Just a little earthquake (5.0) but enough to make my legs jelly. It was a great way to start Thanksgiving day…

When Kyle and Marilyn were here they shared a super cool song with us. It should automatically start playing when you get to our webpage, but depending on your internet connection speed might need sometime to load. Hope you like it as much as we do!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Well, at least to our U.S readers, because while we may have missed Thanksgiving at home, this week we get to have it here in Hawaii! Last sunday a church invited our class to a Thanksgiving feast! It was super generous of them and they sure had some great pumpkin pie! …

Do you ever think, what in the world does the bible have to say to my life? I mean, let’s face it, it is an OLD book! Well, this week we studied the book of Galatians and I want you to see just how much there is that can apply! Here are some of the timeless truths…

It’s Time for … For interest sake, Winnipeg has a rich history in the Grey Cup! We were the first team from the west to ever win in 1935 – at that time named the Winnipeg Winnipeg’s (see cfl.ca) – Who knew the Labatt Blue commercial was right? They changed the name the next…
