</p><p class="MsoNormal">Attending the world’s largest airshow is fun, but that isn’t
why we do it. At AirVenture in Oshkosh, WI we have a beautiful opportunity to
partner with others in raising awareness about mission aviation and inviting
people to get involved in what God is doing. It’s amazing how many people stop
by the “mission aviation corner” and chat with us. Some of them have never
heard of mission aviation, some support missionary aviators, some want to
become missionary pilots, and some are alumni of Moody Aviation. Each one has a
story of God’s faithfulness and our need of His grace. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSrWfRPnzmqCoRIhZjsriL4dBFUIOWiP11CYxgq2vF08jJoF0yZqt2nRFrCthn4DzoHuCtxZItEDsai6KV0xxvUyYyVVQi2_l_GHNNn6jPOOaSNUrHDI3yoGEiNphrBLoI0Iq7cWj9lsXt0KgEPfUchlrgIfVKhBVzy79ApxDUsEhXOLqb4JP-/s4032/2023-07-19%2021.15.00.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSrWfRPnzmqCoRIhZjsriL4dBFUIOWiP11CYxgq2vF08jJoF0yZqt2nRFrCthn4DzoHuCtxZItEDsai6KV0xxvUyYyVVQi2_l_GHNNn6jPOOaSNUrHDI3yoGEiNphrBLoI0Iq7cWj9lsXt0KgEPfUchlrgIfVKhBVzy79ApxDUsEhXOLqb4JP-/s320/2023-07-19%2021.15.00.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The highlights of the week are these stories and the
interaction with others serving in mission aviation, but most of these are not
our stories to share. I think of the young man who came by the booth and shared
how his family has been broken in the past year and some of our team prayed
with him. He has stayed in touch and has shared how his relationship with Jesus
is growing. He is planning to attend Moody Aviation next year and recently
completed his application to do so. I remember the couple who offered us their
camper, parked within walking distance of the venue for the time we were there.
I think of the young people who served us meals all week, and I am blessed by
the knowledge that they could have been earning good money elsewhere, but they
chose to volunteer to see mission aviation succeed. I consider the people who
stopped by the booth and didn’t know the Gospel but heard it that week. Would
you join us in praying for these people, that God would continue to work and
bless and that each of them would grow in relationship with Jesus? </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This year at Airventure was a bit different because we had a
team of 18 from Moody. Half of us were from aviation and the rest from
different departments in Moody Bible Institute, working together to bless and
encourage those at the airshow. We enjoyed serving together and seeing team
members go the extra mile to see the time be as beneficial as possible for the
spread of the Gospel. That’s the point, isn’t it: seeing the truth of God’s
Word impact people’s lives and challenge them to align their lives with God’s
call. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The other big thing this year was that Garry flew the Cessna
185 across the country to Wisconsin with several team members. I enjoyed being
in the back seat of a C185 again, watching the beautiful scenery and reflecting
on the years the C185 was my school bus and our family’s main form
transportation. And it reminded me to pray for the many missionaries who serve
in remote areas and remain dependent on small airplanes and mission aviation
for their transportation.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What a privilege to serve God in mission aviation. Thanks
for joining us in the mission!</p>

Kaleb is a master at zoom as he now attends college
classes, leads Jr High Bible studies and youth group, and continues his internship
online. It’s been a huge change for him, as it is for all of us. He is thankful
that so many things can actually be done online. Kaleb is also still free to do
some street and park BMX within the confines of social distancing and is also doing
some video work remotely. The biggest challenge for him has been to stay
motivated without the personal interactions and normal demands of life. Yet he
is rising to the challenge and moving forward during this time, learning in his
classes and reaching out to those he is discipling.</div>

days of self-isolation after his time in Calgary. He is staying busy with
training and thankful for the opportunity to focus on his strength and conditioning.
It is good for him to be close to extended family and in the country instead of
the city during this time. Kevin continues to move forward in his badminton
training and looks forward to getting back to competition. His biggest
challenge these days is the huge change in interaction, from intense
interaction while coaching many hours a day to very limited interaction. Yet he is rising
to the challenge and filling his mind with great books and reaching out online.</div>

leadership team as they seek God for how to invest well in our students and
staff during this quarantine time. He is getting his fill of Zoom meetings, but
thankful for some extra time to catch up on some projects and make plans for
moving forward effectively in safety. His passion is to see us invest this time
in furthering the reach of the Gospel, in our own lives and in the lives around
us. Garry sees this as an opportunity to refocus on why we are doing what we do
and how we can be most effective at knowing, loving, and serving God.</div>

I am also staying busy with various projects and connections
and a bit of studying. It’s been good to set aside some extra time to reflect,
pray, and study. I love God’s ability to redeem all things and I know redemption is His plan for
this time. May we choose Him first and may our lives overflow with Him—loving and
serving one another because we love God.</div>

It's getting complicated, this writing about our family. Twenty years ago there was one thread to report. Ten years ago there was a bit more individuality, but our story was still one. Now we are living three unique stories, and only one of them belongs to Garry and I to share. Yet so many of you are invested in the stories our sons are living that it matters to share at least a bit. In fact, despite the physical distance that has nearly always existed between you and us, you are our people. You are the ones who have followed us around the world and prayed us through so many things. You are our community, despite seldom being local. So here goes a recap that has me imagining my side of the conversation with you sitting across the table from me.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Garry and I are loving this stage of life and working together in new ways. Our current project of organizing seminars and audits is not our primary sweet spot, but it's part of what keeps us in our sweet spot. We are continually challenged by the Gospel and its impact on lives. We are increasingly challenged to invest in the next generation and their capacity and passion to live and share the Gospel. We love how mission aviation is part of bringing the Gospel to isolated people groups, be that geographical, political, or community-related isolation. We love the fact that we continually have opportunity to share what God is doing in our lives and around us. We love encouraging young people to follow hard after Jesus. And besides our more serious pursuits we are enjoying settling back into our home in Spokane-- walking trails, local coffee shops, and pretty drives. Garry is getting back to building and I'm enjoying writing. And most days we can't believe we actually get to do this.<br />

Kevin has been blessed to pursue his calling in badminton as he trains and coaches. He has had some great opportunities to both live and share the Gospel in a very unique setting. His grit to keep on despite challenges has been encouraging. God has provided sponsorships to allow him to train effectively: strength and conditioning training (Sweaty), physical therapy (Dynamic), and on-court training (Gao Badminton). He is coaching many hours to cover living expenses and depending mainly on donations for competition expenses. It's fun to see his walk of faith in this season.<br />
<br />
Kaleb is enjoying the unique opportunity to study at a school that is in its infancy (Great Northern University), a place where he sees his professors constantly choosing faith in uncommon ways. He loves learning and engages us in great conversations many evenings. He is also investing in youth at church and being mentored by a youth pastor. Weekends often find him at the skate park where he has opportunity to share light in a dark place.<br />
<br />
That's us. What is up with you family? Drop us a line and let us know! <br />

and a new decade. As I reflected on so many new beginnings I was humbled by all
that God has done in each time-frame. Following are some of my reflections…</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Day: December 31 was a day of goodbyes as Kevin and Kaleb left
for Calgary and we began another series of “finals” in Manitoba. We are so
thankful for the gift of Christmas as a family in 2019. After saying goodbye,
we joined an amazing group with whom we welcomed the new year—thanks BCC and
the small group that’s welcomed us during our time in Manitoba. January 1, 2020
was the day we started packing to head back to Spokane, a new beginning as we
closed up shop in Manitoba and anticipated returning to Spokane, Washington.</div>

and friends in Manitoba. It marked the end of our six months in Manitoba, and
we packed it full of people we love. We enjoyed time with many of our friends,
family, and supporters, yet we ended the month with the realization that we
were not able to see everyone. As we began January, we did so with anticipation
of our return to Spokane and investing in what God is doing there. We were looking
forward to seeing many friends and some family in Spokane, the local part of
the team we serve with in mission aviation.</div>

would hold, and we look back at all God has done with more than a touch of
wonder. We ended 2019 with a sense that we had explored many things and found
new passion for what God has called us to. Our vision to see the Gospel shared around
the world, to see the next generation passionately following Jesus, and to invest
in mission aviation as our small part of reaching the unreached grew in 2019. This
growing vision was fueled by our time with many of you as well as by our
travels across North America, Mexico, and Brazil. What a blessing to be refreshed
in what God has called us to! The things God was doing in 2019 fueled a deep
anticipation as we began 2020 asking God how He intends to use and lead us this
year.</div>

arrived on the second island where we would serve. Kevin was 14 and still
recovering from a serious bout with dengue fever. Kaleb was a grade school guy just
getting interested in animation. And wow, how things have changed in one short
decade! Now we have two grown sons who are following God in the path He has
laid out for them. We are no longer homeschooling or parenting kids or
teenagers. We no longer live overseas, but the people we were just getting to
know a decade ago are now among our best friends. We’ve lived in seven houses
in three countries over the past ten years, and Kevin has his own numbers
adding up now. We’ve grown a new passion and greater understanding of the next
generation and the call God has on their lives to carry the Gospel around the
world and into the future. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
All this reflecting makes me wonder what God will do in the next
days, months, years, and decade. Truly, every day is a new and good adventure
with Him!</div>

Legacy</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
At the beginning of June we spent a few days in Washington, D.C.
celebrating my parent's 50<sup>th</sup> wedding anniversary. We spent time with
family and checked out some of D.C. We visited the Bible Museum and toured the
White House. We visited my Dad’s church, the one his parents founded in the
early 60’s and was Trump’s chosen place to show up on the Day of Prayer for the
President. We saw huge memorials to the founding fathers of the United Stated.
We walked by buildings that house the workings of the US government. We learned
more about the history of the Bible and saw the progress of translation. We watched
our kids interact. The time with family was amazing, the sights were very neat,
but what we brought home was a challenge to leave a legacy that matters. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Everyone leaves a legacy and that legacy is built by our
choices and priorities. We speak into the next generation by our lives. Our
choices impact those around us as do our words. As we head to Canada for home
assignment, we are asking God for opportunities to share our vision, to talk
about the things that matter and the choice to follow God wholeheartedly. We
want to have discussion about the Gospel and why it’s Good News. We want to
share our story of God’s faithfulness and remind all of us that following Jesus
is the best choice we can make. We want to hear stories of God’s work in lives,
families, and communities wherever we go. We want to talk about how every
choice matters for eternity. We are excited about this time!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This weekend is graduation at Moody Aviation, and it is fun
to celebrate with these young people who were just starting maintenance
training when we arrived. Every class has its own strengths and challenges, and
it is fun to see how those unfold over their years at Moody. We are excited
about the number of students in this class that plan to move forward in
missionary aviation. We enjoyed having Dr. Jobe, the new president of
Moody Bible Institute, here in Spokane for graduation weekend. Knowing that we were leaving for six
months made the weekend bittersweet.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
In June we also visited Pennsylvania and spent time at
Puzzletown Road Bible Church, the first of our visits to supporters over the
next months. We had an amazing time with the people there, sharing what God is
doing. We were blessed to hear what God is doing there and the passion of
people to see Jesus made known in the world.</div>

Garry and I have done a lot of traveling this semester and have
been blessed by the people we’ve met, the ones we’ve reconnected with, and the
things we’ve been able to be a part of. After this week in Florida we look forward
to being home in Spokane for a couple months, enjoying being with our people
there and investing in the things God has given us to do at Moody Aviation. At
the beginning of June we plan to join my family in celebrating my parents’ 50<sup>th</sup>
wedding anniversary before heading to Manitoba at the end of the month.</div>

This seminar is really for their safety managers and program managers from all over the world, but we joined them to learn from their experience and expertise, and we are so glad we did!<br />
<br />
Garry enjoyed the technical information at the conference and got some good ideas for how to make some simple improvements here at Moody Aviation. We were impressed by the improvement in safety that MAF has seen since they began implementing their Safety Management System. Garry was also able to share things that we've done here and talk with various people about the underlying values he tries to teach students at Moody.<br />

While at MAF we stayed with good friends from our Venezuela years. Rolland and Jessica are great hosts and invited us into their lives with generous hospitality. It was super fun to catch up with them and see what God is doing in and through their lives. We also met up with a number of other friends, both newer and older. It was incredible to hear how God has orchestrated the path of each family and how they have grown and changed in the process. It was also fun to share what God has done in our lives and how He continues to change us.<br />
<br />
During our time we were also able to chat with a number of people and learn what is going on in various MAF programs around the world. We continue to be amazed at the many varied ways God is using mission aviation to spread His Good News around the world. We are challenged by the obstacles in mission aviation and the need for more pilots and mechanics all over the world.<br />

On either side of the time at MAF was a beautiful drive and great conversations in the car, sort of day-long dates. God gives good gifts, and we find ourselves continually amazed that we as a couple are on this incredible journey together and with our grown sons. And beyond that, we are on this journey with you all, people who are invested in what God is doing in our lives personally and in the calling God has our lives. Truly, following Him wholeheartedly is ALWAYS the best decision we can make!Garry and Cynthia Barkmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14275939479541711973noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28920341.post-2683686822539990012019-01-10T12:57:00.000-06:002019-01-10T12:57:09.340-06:00Peering aheadHope is a beautiful thing, a gift of God. We begin 2019 with hearts full of hope and numbers of questions about what this year will bring. It's easy to look ahead and wonder what will happen, where we will be next, and what God has in mind. It's equally easy to look back and see the faithfulness of God and the many unexpected turns life has taken. With those two things in mind, we look ahead with anticipation, expecting God to work in this year, to continue to complete His good work in us and to do through us the good works He prepared for us before the foundation of the world.<br />

Since last summer's fatal crash we have seen God open many doors for new and deeper relationships, relationships we look forward to continuing to invest in this year. We are encouraged by the many questions that we as a community are asking and the way God answers. God continues to confirm that He has plans for each of us and that He wants to use mission aviation to help spread His Good News around the world.<br />
<br />
January is when planning for our annual Safety Seminar really takes off. This year we are taking a break from technical subjects and focusing on how God calls us to both work and rest. Dr. Mike Kibbe is our main speaker, and his sessions will be followed by breakout sessions regarding various aspects of both work and rest. We are excited about what God has in mind for this year's Safety Seminar at the end of February!<br />

His finance course is less exciting, but should prove helpful both in ministry and work. Kaleb is also working at a local studio, Mortimore Productions, where he interned during high school. His focus during vacation has been producing a short paper animation, a passion project of his own. It's amazing to see the ways God is allowing Kaleb to invest in youth as well as grow in his media skills, and we are excited to see how these continue to work together for the Kingdom.<br />
<br />
This weekend Kevin is on his way to Thompson and points further north as he invests in young people through coaching. Rehab has been going well, and he should be ready for badminton nationals at the end of the month, just over 3 months after his high ankle break. His progress is a gracious gift and due hugely to the expertise of Dr. Blatz at Eastman Therapy Centre and a new sponsorship from Sweaty Training. He is ready to hit the international circuit again as he pursues God's call to him in badminton.<br />

We are so thankful to be a family and to see how God is leading each of us in various ways. And we are incredibly thankful for the team God has given us on this journey to grow and see His Gospel shared all over the world!Garry and Cynthia Barkmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14275939479541711973noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28920341.post-86916617694056539582018-10-20T17:57:00.005-05:002018-10-20T17:57:55.604-05:00Fall 2018<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwJ7YkfDpFkx47GQy9Vt6GizcE7A3exHZ91LMY0qsj73E8Mkkl4CZ25DX0RmvyyppRfTw_-2_UAHi9_f8JRdGMeKLvASOApui2dfZjnULmvrbXk6bz_02urQsPlv_WbVGV_kiE/s1600/WhatsApp+Image+2018-10-20+at+3.20.00+PM.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwJ7YkfDpFkx47GQy9Vt6GizcE7A3exHZ91LMY0qsj73E8Mkkl4CZ25DX0RmvyyppRfTw_-2_UAHi9_f8JRdGMeKLvASOApui2dfZjnULmvrbXk6bz_02urQsPlv_WbVGV_kiE/s200/WhatsApp+Image+2018-10-20+at+3.20.00+PM.jpeg" width="150" /></a>I'm loving the fall colors this year. There's something about the beauty that refreshes my soul, reminding me that God is a God of seasons and beauty. He is here and He cares. He is sending us fall in the same way He sent summer. This season, like preceding ones, is likely to have some unexpected joys and unexpected sorrows. This season has had a beginning and it will have an ending. It is good and right for this time, but it will not last forever. Fall turns to winter, spring, summer, and then a new fall. It's hauntingly beautiful.<br />
<br />
This summer we were thankful for a visit from Kevin after the Canadian Open, a great drive to Manitoba, a good week at camp, the privilege of attending EAA AirVenture in OshKosh, a visit from our pastor couple from Manitoba, my parents safe arrival from Venezuela, and a visit from my aunt and uncle. So many good and fun things.<br />

The enjoyable was interrupted by disbelief and grief as we had a fatal accident at Moody Aviation on July 13. Three amazing young men moved to heaven that day, leaving behind three widows and six young children as well as many grieving family members and friends. Things shift when we look so closely at eternity. Our values come into focus and our deep beliefs are uncovered. We ask new questions and experience new things. The community changes and our relationships change.<br />
<br />

We have been in that time. A time when honesty is easier and raw emotions are expressed. A time when we remember and celebrate. A time when we hold friends a little closer and savor family. A time when we grieve together for this loss and the losses that came before this one. A time when we reflect on the goodness and grace of God. A time when we experience grace in deeper ways as we choose to trust God. A time for growing faith and learning together. A good time, despite the pain.<br />
<br />
In this sacred space we have seen God in new ways and learned new lessons. We've taken time to drive around and see the fall colors. We've spent time talking about what is important. We have asked hard questions and chosen faith. We have seen God answer some questions and leave other unanswered.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9q6WG0F8-Ux1VERBqWLEgJ0XVVSATcG7ccqXTQ-KMuK4w9EZCLePv7-xqL-xyIl7shA4HTGkcCI-x86-IcISxcqHSdiXFgDmNZh-uDligcVqINw5IVpM9hMqUujzIzl4zw_9o/s1600/WhatsApp+Image+2018-10-20+at+3.22.54+PM.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9q6WG0F8-Ux1VERBqWLEgJ0XVVSATcG7ccqXTQ-KMuK4w9EZCLePv7-xqL-xyIl7shA4HTGkcCI-x86-IcISxcqHSdiXFgDmNZh-uDligcVqINw5IVpM9hMqUujzIzl4zw_9o/s320/WhatsApp+Image+2018-10-20+at+3.22.54+PM.jpeg" width="320" /></a><br />
This time has opened conversations with different people. We've learned a lot about grief and community. We've seen the community work together in amazing ways to comfort and protect one another. We've seen renewed resolve to serve God and to work together. We've seen prayers offered and answered. We've felt the support of the global Church. We've seen how grief and fear are intertwined.<br />
<br />
Obviously, the past 3 months are deeply colored by the fatal accident. Yet, it is not all we have experienced or thought about. And the many things that have happened cannot fit in this limited space. So, this is a fly-by view.... <br />
<br />
May your fall be blessed by beauty and blessings also. May you experience God in the everyday of your life.<br />

In our family we learn what to value, how to interact, how to interpret life, and so much more. It seems this is the primary seed of culture. The second place we learn culture as believers should be the Church-- the slightly larger community that we interact with and from, meant to reinforce the values at home and teach us to invest and reach out. From there we expand to our neighborhood, our town, our country, and the world. It's amazing, really, the way God has arranged things to be. And we are incredibly blessed by both sides of our family that have passed on godly legacy to Garry and I, which we have tried to pass on to our boys and they eventually will have opportunity to pass on to their families.<br />
<br />
Enough philosophy: what's up with the 4 of us? Life at work has been going well for Garry, and I've shared about his trip to IAMA, progress on the Safety Management System, and interactions at school. Life at home has been full of projects for Garry, which he actually enjoys as it gives him opportunity to work with his hands. He's also amazing at keeping up with our vehicles which are in the "needing more maintenance" stage, fixing issues with the house, and otherwise keeping things in order.<br />

Since then he has been pulling long days animating and editing for Stikbots, the toy company that he contracted with for an animation. (If you'd like to check them out, their <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPHXb7eJeUED2MBaBXm4c5Q" target="_blank">YouTube channel</a> gives an idea who they are-- an animation toy company.) He has learned a lot in the process and is just beginning what should be his final edit. In just under two weeks he heads to Manitoba for the summer, planning to counsel at Eagle Lake Bible Camp for five weeks. He's also looking forward to his friend Luke coming to Manitoba for a visit and to work at camp for week.<br />

It has been amazing to watch God provide and open doors as Kevin follows the things God has called him to. After the Open he is heading our way to do a badminton summer camp before returning to Manitoba. Kevin is also planning to serve with us for a week at camp this summer.<br />
<br />
I've enjoyed planting a small garden this year (which I may not be doing great with keeping up with). I've also been investing in Venezuela through a venture providing soup and sandwiches to some of the neediest people through some friends of mine. Overall it seems the days go quickly with office work, cleaning and cooking, and investing in relationships.<br />
<br />
We truly are blessed by our family. This isn't just our sons but also our extended family, but the stories of siblings and parents really can't be shared on this blog!<br />

Garry's presentation focused on the fact that SMS makes sense. He spent time explaining that just as we do preventative maintenance, we can do preventative risk management, catching problems before they cause catastrophes. He also offered other organizations an opportunity to use the same software we are using, which would allow us all to better share information and prevent incidents. Various people agreed that sharing the software makes sense, evidenced by the number who have written expressing interest in joining us on the Prism Argus software plan. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://iamanet.org/our-story/" target="_blank">IAMA</a> is a great community of people who collaborate to see the Gospel spread. Their annual conference is an opportunity for schools, mission aviation organizations, and individuals to get together to learn, share, and network. This year provided a lot of networking opportunities as quite a few of the smaller organizations presented what God is doing in their worlds. One particularly inspiring update was by Marcio Rempel, a Mennonite from Brazil. His passion is to help mission aviation in Brazil network well. Amazonas, Brazil their current focus, an area the size of two-thirds of the USA with very little infrastructure for travel. It was encouraging to hear how God continues to work, grow, and build in so many ways in so many places. <br />

Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia hosted this year's IAMA conference. This was Garry's first time at Liberty and he was impressed by what God is doing there. Liberty focuses on teaching students to impact their culture as "Champions for Christ". One chance encounter was with a grace-filled bus driver who understands the value of ministering to the many students who ride his bus each day. A tour of the facilities was also impressive as they continue to expand.<br />
<br />
Another blessing of attending IAMA was time with co-workers. Garry enjoyed traveling with Jim & Ian and attending the conference together. They shared meals and got to know one another in a way that doesn't happen quickly during work hours. In fact, Garry and Ian had a rather long, exciting trip home with many delays and a drive to Charlotte in place of the planned flight.<br />

IAMA.

We had a great time discussing goals and vision. We prayed for God's will to be done and wisdom in how to be a part of what He wanted to accomplish. We named our little group "RISE", reminded us that our goal was to Refresh in spirit, Ignite in passion, Strengthen in faith, & Equip for service, both students and ourselves. Since then we've hosted some events, gathered to pray, and wondered how it would all come to pass.<br />

In reality, mostly we have prayed, seeking God's next steps. We have talked and brainstormed and wondered when we would feel more like a group, asking ourselves and one another how to move toward being who we wanted to be.<br />
<br />
Over the past months we have seen investments budding into relationships, refreshment, passion, faith, and equipping. This growth hasn't happened overnight, but it is happening. Spontaneously.
Women have begun getting together in smaller groups. Homes have been
opened for play times with young children. Coffee shop gatherings have
sprung up. Lunches have been shared. And slowly but surely, we have seen
good things growing.<br />
<br />
Not long ago we gathered for brunch-- a great spread of food and fellowship. The hostess had things set up beautifully, and so many ladies contributed. I loved watching the ladies mingle and chatting with different ones. I enjoyed the testimony of my friend who shared. I loved what happened as we broke into small groups to pray. I was thankful for the space and the time and each investment that was beginning to bear fruit.<br />

This month our main event was a Ladies Tea to honor the wives of this year's graduates. A local business loaned us a beautiful space which some of us cleaned and decorated. Ladies brought fine china and plants to create beautiful tables, and we gathered for conversation and prayer. We enjoyed beautiful food and the quiet of the afternoon. We gave small gifts to the wives of graduates and had a short presentation on prayer. <br />
<br />
I love these women. I love what God has done in each of their lives and what He is doing in lives. I love their passion and their faith. I love the people we become when we are together and I am thrilled to be a part of RISE, investing in the generations in mission aviation here.Garry and Cynthia Barkmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14275939479541711973noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28920341.post-74637959737651156962018-05-16T10:11:00.000-05:002018-05-16T10:42:09.577-05:00Alberta Adventures<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-iwV1SuJN8ez80jIJ0Cae8ZwFi4bMQ7LXfxEzIUO04v73kqZhjH-3RbzyxbEz9bj9BvYhIefKa_LABZTlgl4tj1dh0gxaj5yA_JX3MOFKFXDLS5CoQnVJcEmmxmzz1hiyTYtU/s1600/20180318_091119_HDR.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-iwV1SuJN8ez80jIJ0Cae8ZwFi4bMQ7LXfxEzIUO04v73kqZhjH-3RbzyxbEz9bj9BvYhIefKa_LABZTlgl4tj1dh0gxaj5yA_JX3MOFKFXDLS5CoQnVJcEmmxmzz1hiyTYtU/s320/20180318_091119_HDR.jpg" width="320" /></a>It may have been my full heart when we came home, or it may simply be my poor memory. Whatever the case, I never posted about our March trip to Alberta. So, here goes-- nearly 2 months late, but better than never.<br />
<br />
<br />
My original plan was to start with the top highlight, but I couldn't narrow it down to one-- was it the drive north with new friends, the amazing people we met, the stories we heard, or the families we visited?<br />
<br />
We do not feel like gifted speakers, yet when the opportunity arose to go to the EMC Northern Alberta missions conference, we knew this was something we were supposed to do. We were excited about meeting the people there and the other missionaries we'd share the time with. And there was honestly nothing disappointing about the weekend, except saying goodbye at the end. It was amazing!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDUq-7QdaeezBEilrsGkz6lCUDfA3xU-Gs9cESgf8Ihp5SXWBK-nSDhr_UWj7oF7DcyulKHXqBlf2JYd2Gygosm2FFsamr7x1T84YFoIMU3pjWOlp1c6jzsVcU5ljcy7scpSH7/s1600/20180317_191258.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDUq-7QdaeezBEilrsGkz6lCUDfA3xU-Gs9cESgf8Ihp5SXWBK-nSDhr_UWj7oF7DcyulKHXqBlf2JYd2Gygosm2FFsamr7x1T84YFoIMU3pjWOlp1c6jzsVcU5ljcy7scpSH7/s320/20180317_191258.jpg" width="320" /></a>We shared at several services, some of them larger than others. We had brunch with a great group of people. We talked to people. We joined people in their homes for various meals. We had tea most evenings with our host couple. We spent time with the other missionaries at the conference. And more than anything, God showed up. He showed up in people who are obviously passionate about following Jesus. He showed up when people shared their burden for their local community. He was there when people talked about world missions with emotion and personal connections. He was there. And it was beautiful.<br />
<br />
There are not just generalities that emerged over this weekend, but personal stories. However, those stories are not ours to share, so we are limited to generalities. Yet it was the individuals that impacted us, the stories that encouraged us, the people themselves that made the weekend memorable and encouraging. The impromptu invitations and the planned ones. The people who eagerly listened and those who passionately shared.<br />
<br />

It was a fun experience, one I've never had before. The bridge was impressive, and I had to wonder who first started making ice bridges for public use. The drive was beautiful, a reminder of God's creativity.<br />
<br />
Thank you, La Crete, Hillside, and High Level for loving Jesus, for being yourselves and for allowing us to be a part of this year's missions conference!<br />

It's a great journey, reading through the story God wrote through the Israelite nation-- the story of calling, faith, grace, disobedience, forgiveness, and love. Seeing the ways the Israelites stumbled reminds me of myself. Seeing the way God continually called them back to Himself reminds me of His graciousness with me. I've been struck by communal repentance, worship, and purpose, the ways the people of Israel functioned as a community when they returned to their land after captivity. It's both fascinating and challenging.</span><br />

Ezra and Nehemiah remind me that there is a different power in community than the one that exists in individuals. "A cord of three strands is not easily broken." When we work together there is something incredible that happens, a strength and solidarity and momentum that we can never find on our own. I believe God made us this way and intends to use this truth to help us grow and change. He wants to work in us individually, but he places us in families and communities to multiply His work both in and through us.</div>

This week we've enjoyed time with various communities here in Spokane. At Moody Aviation we are in a time of re-organizing and re-evaluating as we consider the many changes that will occur with the closing of the Biblical Studies Campus this summer. Change makes us take a new look at what we are doing and why, and this process has been good. It's been amazing to hear the conversations Garry has been involved in as staff and students think through this change and the future. We are excited about the opportunities before us and the ways God will intervene on our behalf.</div>

I was privileged to join a group of Moody Aviation wives this week, and it was a sweet time of fellowship. I loved that challenges were brought to the table and wisdom and truth was replied to them. I love seeing women together, focused on what God is doing and how we are to be a part of it. Next week we are planning another get together with a missionary pilot's wife who is here from Indonesia.</div>

Last week Kevin spent a couple days up north, coaching in a first nations community. It's been a great opportunity to sow seeds of love and grace. Just listening to him talk about the things he's experienced I am reminded how not only growth but also brokenness is multiplied in a community. Oxford House, where he visited, is a beautiful but needy place. What they need most is Jesus, a Jesus who can redeem and change them as the people He created them to be, without first requiring them to leave their culture and community. May He invade their community and redeem it for Himself!</div>

Kaleb continues to study and to invest in his junior high group at church. It is awesome to see the ways God is both using and challenging him. He is also excited about an animation job he applied for and got last week! He is currently waiting for the contract and first script, a process that is growing his patience. As I watch Kaleb reach out I am amazed at the things God is doing both in and through him.</div>

A day to reflect and remember, a day to mourn the cost of sin and the price of redemption. A day to ponder sacrifice. It's Friday, but Sunday is coming.<br />
<br />
Until Sunday, let's take time to stand counter-culture in remembering the hard parts of redemption, in mourning before we jump to the dancing. Let's reflect on the reality of Christ's death and the journey to the cross. Let's allow God to convict us of the things He wants to change and the ways we stray from the best He has for us.<br />
<br />

This morning it all came to a head as I woke up feeling terrible and wanting so much more. I was discouraged about the state of our house (it needs some cleaning), the state of my cupboards (I need to go grocery shopping), and the long list of things I still need to do. It took me a while, but this afternoon I realized that my concern should be the state of my heart, which is lost in the temporal and discouraged by circumstances. There is a reason the Israelites were told to remember special days and celebrate feasts-- to change their focus, to remind them of what's important, and to continually set aside time to remember various aspects of God's truth and His work, among other things. And maybe, mostly to remember it's not our work, but His.<br />
<br />
So this Easter season, we choose to pause. To set aside time from our work and our play and reflect. To see God in this moment and the price He paid for our salvation. To realize that the things we are called to are a privilege that allow others the chance to celebrate an eternity with him. To remember our need and the way He has met it. To simply stand in awe of God Himself.<br />
<br />
May you see God this Easter weekend!Garry and Cynthia Barkmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14275939479541711973noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28920341.post-7924887027414806292018-03-15T20:28:00.000-05:002018-03-15T20:28:25.669-05:00Clouds of WitnessesAfter the famous chapter on men and women of faith in the Bible, men and women who saw miracles and those who waited all their lives without seeing them, there is an admonition for us to remember that we are surrounded by this cloud of witnesses. With that in mind, we are to set aside the weight that hinders and run with perseverance the race set for us. We are to fix our eyes on Jesus, not the circumstances that surround us. And the thought seems to be that we are encouraged by this cloud of witnesses, inspired by their stories, and prodded on by their faith.<br />
<br />

I was thinking this afternoon about these men and women of faith. Some of them knew that they'd received a promise-- they received their dead back to life, they had children, they saw miracles. Others spent their lives in faith, waiting for a reality that would only come clear in eternity. Yet, regardless of their story, I can't imagine that these people lived the way they did so they'd be part of the Bible for all of history. They wouldn't have known there would be a Bible, and I imagine that many of them lived their lives of faith in what seemed to be obscurity. I imagine them feeling alone and forgotten. I imagine them wondering if they would see a miracle. Yet, I think they each recounted the stories of what God had already done. I believe they clung to His promises as though they were life. I think they prayed with perseverance even when they didn't feel the faith.<br />
<br />
Yet, how much easier it must have been for those who were surrounded by people of faith?! And I thought that each of us has opportunity to be that person of faith, that one who talks about Jesus, that man or woman who seeks God above all else. And it makes me wonder how things would change in my community if I became more of that person. We have many stories of answered prayers and God's goodness and faithfulness-- stories we have lived and ones we have watched unfold. And yet we can set these stories aside for the "pressing realities" of life-- the weather, the things I'd like to do, the items I'd like to buy, the places I'd like to go, the people I met, the challenges I'm facing.<br />
<br />
While these things are normal conversation starters, I've been challenged again to go beyond what is normal and be a witness to what the God of the Universe is doing.<br />

In a world that is driven to perform it is easy to forget why we do what we do, focusing instead on getting things done. We can set goals then put life on autopilot and pursue those goals. Yet how we spend our time, our work, is a reflection of what we worship. Every bit of work can be an act of worship for God, or it can be worship of our own ego or the things money can buy.<br />
<br />

We are privileged to be part of<a href="https://ethnos.ca/" target="_blank"> Ethnos Canada</a> and to serve at<a href="https://www.facebook.com/moodybibleinstituteaviation/" target="_blank"> Moody Aviation</a>. We are blessed to be part of reaching the unreached and discipling believers in a way that fits our gifting. These thoughts prompt me to share a bit about what is happening at work these days.<br />
<br />
Garry's work hours a mix of planning this year's safety seminar, meetings, unscheduled conversations, and work on the Safety Management System. Planning Safety Seminar is a good opportunity to connect with different people and to discuss safety and how we can do that well. Arranging logistics like sound, speaker accommodations, and snack options open conversations with people that aren't normally in our circle. Conversations with speakers and those that provide FAA credit are a privilege. We are excited about this year's seminar that will focus on Aviation Decision-Making. Another part of the process has been putting together a simple website, which has been a good and growing experience.<br />
<br />
Meetings. Thankfully Garry doesn't spend a lot of time in meetings, and the ones he does attend are productive. One of the blessings our team is the value we place on diversity. It's great to work in a place where a different opinion is valued one and group-think is minimized. Meetings are a great opportunity to share ideas and discuss how we can do a better job of doing what we do, train the next generation of mission aviators.<br />
<br />

Parts of Garry's job are unscheduled and this allows him freedom to interact with students and staff as opportunities arise. Some conversations are very short, "Hi, how's your day going?" Sometimes this line is an opening to discuss an aviation challenge, an issue at home, or a question about God and life.<br />
<br />
Beyond the interactions at work, we enjoy having aviation students and staff in our home or meeting in other places. We are passionate about passing on the truth God has allowed us to learn and enjoy discussing realities of life in mission aviation and overseas. It's always fun to hear how God has brought people to where they are and the things He is teaching them. These days we have several ongoing interactions, some of them being very international.<br />
<br />
Work was created before the fall, and it is a privilege to do work that matters. And all work matters. Beyond what we do, how we do it is a huge testimony to God's work in our lives. May your work bless you as ours blesses us.<br />

Sometimes we retreat there and sometimes we reach out. At times we hide at home and other times we invite people in. Home can be a place to grow or a place to stagnate, a restful place or a stressful place. There are times we choose how to use home and times when it seems things take off on their own, without any invitation to do so.<br />
<br />
We recently had a week where things seemed to take off of their own accord, without any prodding or warning. We had invited a couple guys for supper the first evening of our advisory board meetings here at Moody Aviation, and the two turned into seven by the time supper arrived. It was great to talk with these guys, hear their stories, and share what we're learning and doing and how we're growing.<br />
<br />
A couple days later Kaleb invited "some friends" over, and quite a few showed up. Maybe twenty friends from Moody and church, though I honestly forgot to count. We did a make-your-own-pizza and salad supper then sat around swapping stories. A majority are in the aviation program, and it was fun to hear their thoughts and dreams for the future.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Between the slightly larger groups, various other people showed up. It was interesting to watch God simply bring people into our lives. I could have taken photos. I didn't get out the camera, so I'll post a couple that I enjoyed taking.... my new "favorite tree" to watch out the front window and a view from a recent trip.<br />
<br />
The other thing that's been happening a lot at our house lately is fixing cars. Kevin and Dustin did a small job for a friend that turned into a somewhat larger project. Kaleb's car quit on his way home from school one day and it's been in the shop over a week as the guys troubleshoot and try different things. Our van has had some issues that needed attention, and Garry has it all fixed now. It's been cold for working on cars, but likely much warmer than it will be in a few more weeks.<br />
<br />
As Christmas approaches I have grand ideas of more baking happening, but the process is currently on hold as I do my best to fight a cold and take care of the essentials. We are, however, the proud owners of a real tree that some friends gifted to us last week. The glowing lights and comforting aroma of pine fill the house and remind us to take time this Christmas season to remember the reason for Christmas and the gift of God's own Son.<br />

A small town with a large impact. Three Hills is home to Prairie College, formerly Prairie Bible Institute, and Prairie College of Mission Aviation (PCMA). Thus, many people in full-time ministry have spent a few years in this town. Surrounded by farms and empty space as far as you can see, Three Hills has its own kind of beauty. It already felt like winter last week as fog hovered over the snow-covered ground and the wind blew the chill right through you.<br />
<br />
Thankfully, we didn't go to Three Hills primarily for the weather. We were there to help with an aviation audit with Mission Safety International, an audit which doubles as a consult. PCMA has a long history of training pilots to serve both overseas and in the industry as ambassadors of Jesus. Over the past two years PCMA has been through a lot of changes, yet their joy and hope are overflowing. More change is happening due to a new partnership with Mission Aviation Fellowship Canada, and everyone is engaged in asking God what He has in mind for the future. We are excited with them as they ask God for direction and open doors for what He wants to do with them and their students as they move ahead.<br />

<br />
Our time at PCMA was encouraging at we met with various staff and spouses, asking them what God is doing and how they think things could improve. We were impressed with the passion for God and commitment to excellence at PCMA and are excited to see where God is going to take them. We enjoyed the opportunity to share some of what we do at Moody Aviation that might be helpful for them. We loved hearing God stories from various people, stories of God's grace and strength in times of hardship both overseas and in Canada. Stories of amazing opportunities to share God's truth in dark places. Stories of need and provision, questions and answers, and the overwhelming grace and goodness of our Father. We left PCMA with thankful hearts for what God is doing there.<br />

Some of the most beautiful parts of the Canadian Rockies lie between Spokane and Three Hills, and we were privileged to drive through some of them. The majesty of the Rockies was rejuvenating in its own way. We loved the hours of driving to reflect on what God is doing in our lives and in our family, particularly after the recent news of Moody Biblical Studies--Spokane closing. We were encouraged and refreshed as we processed the change in the midst of so much beauty and so many reminders of God's power.<br />
<br />
We arrived home to a short work week and Thanksgiving celebrations. We are, quite simply, incredibly blessed to be a part of what God is doing in the world to spread His Good News! We trust you find yourself in a similar spot, awed by God.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Garry and I both enjoy traveling, at least sometimes. Over the past few weeks we've been blessed to do a couple of trips together. At the end of October we went to Safety Standdown, a large industry event provided by Bombardier. The week we spent in Wichita was full of learning and inspiration as we attended sessions that centered around the theme for this year, "Learn. Apply. Share." Presenters focused on things like values, judgement, change, health, and standards. Even though I'm not an aviator, I learned a lot about what makes a safe program and the way values impact safety. For Garry, sessions reinforced what he's been learning and teaching as well as good information to continue building safety at Moody Aviation.</div>
</div>

We both heard and shared information and stories with others in mission aviation as well as those in the industry. It was great to spend time between sessions discussing how what we'd learned applies to our various programs. God is at work all over the world, and it was great to hear stories about what He is doing through aviation.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Between learning and networking we also had some time to enjoy walking along the river, eating Mexican food, and simply being together. It was a great and profitable week!</div>

<div>
Last week we were at home in Spokane, engaged in the normal routines of our lives-- working, teaching, mentoring, and just living. Things got shaken up a bit when Moody Global announced last Wednesday that they are closing the Biblical Studies campus in Spokane. While the aviation program in Spokane will continue, the closing of Biblical Studies effects all of us. Many of our students are losing cherished friends as well as wondering how things will change for them. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For us personally, beyond our involvement in Moody Aviation, both Kevin and Kaleb currently attend Moody Bible in Spokane. They are each considering next steps and where God is leading them from here. Our friends who work at the Biblical studies campus are out of work as of the end of the school year (June 2018).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This week we are Prairie College in Three Hills, Alberta helping with an Mission Safety International safety audit. It is really more of a consultation than an audit, but more about that next time!</div>

Both rain and sunshine bless our days. The temperatures swing between cool and warm, and we just get comfortable with one when the other comes along and we have to readjust. This semester has been one of change as Kaleb has started Bible School, Kevin is doing a lot of travel for badminton, Garry's work has included some big changes, and I have adjusted to days without homeschooling. Sometimes it seems we just get in a rhythm when it is interrupted and we find a new rhythm.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj63PR50zdXCESw39-wzRgAtd-DGzq4xCPLWpH1VZbnuXZkpgeOrCqL4JbOr5FdmL3jMbqvyal170IMmS9KLnQwg3PVuUWGsCff9X_xWHFG7FuXIgkul1o75gKtCQrTidWelwl/s1600/IMG_5550.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj63PR50zdXCESw39-wzRgAtd-DGzq4xCPLWpH1VZbnuXZkpgeOrCqL4JbOr5FdmL3jMbqvyal170IMmS9KLnQwg3PVuUWGsCff9X_xWHFG7FuXIgkul1o75gKtCQrTidWelwl/s320/IMG_5550.JPG" width="320" /></a>Yet in the midst of change, there are so many great constants! God has a plan and He is unfolding it. We are often reminded that the most important thing we do each day is seek God's plan and get in step with what He is doing. He has amazing ways of bringing people into our lives unexpectedly, and time with Him gives us the resources we need to invest in the people He brings. Tasks often take longer than expected, but there is so much less stress when we are sure that the task at hand is one He has sent to us. There are also days when the work goes quickly and we wonder what will come next just as the next thing appears and we are grateful the first chores went quickly.<br />
<br />
These days Garry is busy with a number of different things at work. He's been in lots of meetings about various things that are happening on campus. He has enjoyed teaching various classes and doing some testing in maintenance. Getting windows installed in some of the doors is another current project. Leading a weekly small group study with a few of the students has been a blessing.<br />
<br />
Kaleb is enjoying school and is studying hard. He loves people and loves to interact and bless them. He likes to do video and has recently rediscovered how much he enjoys photography. Check out his instagram, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bicycle_productions/" target="_blank">bicycle_productions</a>.<br />
<br />
Kevin is studying, training, and traveling. His life is super full. God is giving him a great group of friends at Moody, which we are very thankful for. You can also follow him on instagram at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/barkmanwandering/" target="_blank">barkmanwandering</a>.<br />
<br />
It's great to walk through life with the assurance that God is good and that both the sunshine and the shadows exist for our good and our growth. We are more blessed than we know!<br />

As fall weather hits, for maybe the first time I am almost enjoying it. This change has reminded me that this has, in fact, become home in many ways. We are blessed to be here, blessed to have a great team and good friends. It is, after all, the people who make a place home, and God has given us those kind of people here.<br />
<br />
Kevin went home to Manitoba this weekend, and we missed being there with him. The places he went and things he did made us miss that home, reminded us of the ways God has planted us in a place we haven't actually lived in very often. Yet we have family and friends in Manitoba who make it home. A strong team, primarily from there, has sent us here and allows us to serve here. Home: it's a good word for how we feel about Manitoba.<br />

Maybe it was going to Mexico twice and meeting a number of amazing people who reminded me of friends and a culture where I lived my earliest years. Maybe it's the fact that Venezuela is appearing on the news again and Facebook allows me to connect with various people there. Mostly I think it's one of my friends, who I'll call Carla.<br />
<br />
Carla and I were neighbors when we were young moms. We swapped baby stories and made food together. We cooked and chatted and became fast friends, despite her initial thought that foreigners were in the country to take advantage. She taught me to make some great Italian food as well as traditional Venezuelan dishes. Her grandmother wove a hammock for us. I was invited to make hallacas, a traditional Venezuelan Christmas dish, with her family. We learned and grew together, and one day we had to say goodbye. When Garry went back to get rid of our things, Carla brought her kids by and offered a hand.<br />

Carla's oldest two are living together, trying to get by in a new country, far from family and friends. The goodbye had to have been hard because with the current situation in Venezuela, it may be eternity before they are reunited. Miles and borders separate us, but my heart hurts for Carla.<br />
<br />
The pain I feel at her goodbyes mirrors some of what I feel as family members still live and minister in Venezuela. I am appalled at the suffering and need in a country that is rich in so many ways. I am hurt by the abuses that happen and the difficulty it is for average people to survive there these days.<br />

Yet in the midst of the suffering, many good things are happening. God is being revealed through His church, and people are being saved. Children are especially open to the Gospel, but spiritual hunger in general is greater than it was in times of plenty. God is raising up an army of prayer warriors to intercede for their country. And God seems to be opening doors to support and help the local Church and individual believers there.<br />
<br />
I am often reminded to pray for Venezuela, and a verse that often comes to mind is the one where we are instructed to remember those who are suffering as though they were, in fact, our brothers and sisters. And truly, many in Venezuela are our brothers and sisters.<br />

Home. We're privileged to have several, and each one brings both joy and pain. We're thankful for each person in our lives who makes somewhere a good place to be!Garry and Cynthia Barkmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14275939479541711973noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28920341.post-35984779902663048552017-07-13T10:26:00.002-05:002017-07-13T10:32:23.019-05:00Camp <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSScX67f-MEVpI91nSoMT4VgQzrQkdcLIUPgQWv4ZmuJOjThMhUnqF5YaGSsMMry_CzAUG_mCuCUxtwjwXVKq95j9lL6wswbZd6jo1_EVyPyV1htCg79dB_It-o_XimenxX-6q/s1600/IMG_4911.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSScX67f-MEVpI91nSoMT4VgQzrQkdcLIUPgQWv4ZmuJOjThMhUnqF5YaGSsMMry_CzAUG_mCuCUxtwjwXVKq95j9lL6wswbZd6jo1_EVyPyV1htCg79dB_It-o_XimenxX-6q/s320/IMG_4911.JPG" width="320" /></a>We had a great week at <a href="http://www.eaglelakebiblecamp.org/home.htm" target="_blank">Eagle Lake Bible Camp</a> this year. It was a privilege to serve with people from our home church and meeting some new people. We particularly loved working with Dad & Doris as well as Kaleb-- three generations of Barkmans serving together. It was a blessing to spend time every day teaching teens from the Word of God, discussing the Gospel and its implications for everyday life. I enjoyed some time helping in the kitchen and Garry joined the boys' swim time most afternoons. "Tuck" (mid afternoon snacks) were a highlight as we chatted with other staff and heard more of their stories.<br />

It's blessing to serve. Last week I talked with the girls at camp about the fact that the blessing is always in the assignment. We don't find God's blessing in the things we want or the things we feel pressured to do, but in following Him. He gives us gifts and enjoyment in the things He calls us to, and we are most blessed as we simply obey.<br />
<br />
One of the things I love about God is that He calls us not only to serve, but also to rest. In busy, hectic seasons we know that as we continue to follow, He will refresh and give us rest at the perfect time. In the meantime He will give strength and grace for each day. And then, He gives us times of rest that are perfectly suited to us. He gives us time to worship and enjoy His presence. He does, in fact, give us everything we need for life and godliness!<br />
<br />

Small stories and big stories. God working and people choosing to respond and others choosing not to. Opportunities taken and opportunities rejected. God calling and people responding. Teens finding God in new ways or understanding His promises in a new light. Staff finding His strength sufficient. Conflict and conflict resolution. It was good. And many of the stories that emerged were encouraging, though some of the stories were sharp prods to prayer. We loved the stories, both hearing stories and living parts of them. But the stories are not ours to share, so we won't say more about them.<br />

Another unique thing about camp is living for a week in a close community that is relatively closed. Just over 100 people in a few cabins in the woods, eating, worshipping, learning, praying, swimming, playing, and living close together. It allows you a new insight into people's hearts and dreams. The opportunity to model healthy ways of doing things is huge. It also gives you a new perspective on the people you know and what drives them. And these insights were encouraging and fresh, a reminder of how often God is at work even when we are not close enough to see it.<br />
<br />
We are now in Ohio, but I'll have to write about that next time. For now, it's off to lunch and meetings. It's been good to spend a few moments with you....<br />

We had a little sundae party with a few of his friends. The group who showed up was diverse and interesting, each with a unique place in Kaleb's life. This was a much smaller group than helped him celebrate his graduation, but a sort of cross-section: Kaleb's youth pastor who has been a great mentor to him, a guy he works with, a kid he disciples, a new friend, a couple others. It struck me again how God has blessed Kaleb with community-- just the community he needs to grow, learn, and reach out. People who care about him and people he cares about. And my mother's heart was full with the knowledge that God does all things well, and sometimes He allows us to see the good things He is doing!<br />

It's a unique challenge to inspire others to teach what you'd naturally teach, in an environment that is both busy and structured. Yet God has provided great resources and wisdom, and we are excited about how God is going to use this as He continues to unfold it.<br />
<br />
Much of what we do has to do with context, and this week Garry felt that when he had lunch with one of the students. This young man will be in town for a while, but not in training with Moody next year. He wants to be sure that he can continue to interact with Garry, to ask questions and gain perspective, even if he moves out of the circle where they normally interact. Of course! While we are thankful for the unique context Moody provides, we love investing with people who want to learn.<br />
<br />

He is learning a ton, having crazy experiences, and living in a very foreign world. Yet we see whispers of God at work around him. We know God is at work in him, preparing him for whatever the next steps may be for him. He also mentioned that he has never been anywhere that there was so little sign of religion at any level-- in decorations, church buildings, or any other advertising. But he was invited to join another team member tomorrow as he live-streams a service. Wow, God.<br />
<br />
These days we are also preparing for our trip to Manitoba this summer. We will be gone about a month, and look forward to seeing many of you. This will feel like a very quick trip as our month includes driving back and forth, a week at camp, and a week in Ohio doing an aviation audit.<br />
<br />
We are excited about what God is doing and what He is preparing to do. So thankful to be on the journey and see it unfold!<br />

Celebrating with graduates is so much fun, and also a bit sad as we realize friends are moving on to other places. Because of our schedule at Moody Aviation, graduation happens about a month before classes are actually finished for the year, so normal life continues and even intensifies as we try to complete all the things that need accomplished.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We have 9 graduates from the aviation program this year, and each of them are moving into something different. Graduates are often hired to work at Moody after graduation so they can gain more experience and pay of student debt while continuing in an environment that is invested in their success, but it doesn't sound like there will be a lot of that this year. This is also the time that alumni who have worked at Moody for a time move on, and two couples from Moody will be joining mission organizations this summer.<br /><div>
<br /></div>

One couple is headed overseas for a year doesn't know if they will return to Spokane after this missions trip. The other couple has taken a youth pastor position a couple hours from here, so we hope to see them at least occasionally over the next year.</div>

Thrown into the mix for us as a family was the fact that Kevin left for the summer in China the end of May. He was gifted an opportunity to train at one of the top badminton clubs in the world for 3 months, and he was super excited to go. He was also given am amazing job offer that he worked through over the past couple of weeks he was here as well as finishing his school semester and week of exams. Going to China required a lot of prep and was somewhat overwhelming as realized he would be living with people he'd never met. People told him there wouldn't really be much English there, and that has proven to be very true. And Chinese food has proven quite different than the Filipino food he enjoyed growing up.</div>

We are having a little party for him this afternoon and looking forward to what God has in store for him in the future. He will finish school in a couple of weeks then plans to counsel at summer camps for most of the summer. He plans to begin studying for youth ministry at Moody Bible in the fall, another exciting big step for him.</div>
