Hey all you peeps that know me. I got some great news. You
know how I was at LFBC I did not have my full grade 12 done cause of
certain reasons. Well the week before christmas break (dec. 20th) I
graduated!!!!!!!! I am really pleased about that now I can continue my
studies. I am excepted into a distance course called ABT (Applied Business
Technology). It starts on Jan 2nd and my first semeser will end on the
15th of June. It is a self pased thing which is good cause I cannot work
under a lot of deadlines and such. I am good when I know the stuff I am
doing but not the deadlines in school.

I still have been working at Tim Hortons and going to school and working
at the college 2 nights a week so I have been really busy. I don\'t like
it when I have nothing to do. Well I need to go and set up my new
computer.

Hello everyone -- a special hello to Leon Cardinal and Bud
Stuve! I was thinking the other day about doing a newsletter this year and
the old analogy came to mind: Is the cup half-full or half-empty? I really
apprectiate Bob Klepel\'s perspective on life: I\'ve noticed that he has a
very positive attitude and chooses to focus on the positive, rather than
the negative (and there are never any shortages of negative things in
life). I/we have so much to be thankful for, and as Christians our \"path
is getting brighter and brighter,\" with the best yet to come. If any one
is in Red Deer on a Friday night, there is a group that meets at
\"Potter\'s Hands\" for worship, testimonies, and praying for the needs of
those that come out. Alvin Rainville leads it -- I go quite often. I find
that Alvin has a very good understanding of spiritual warefare and it is a
great place to get prayer for deliverance. Does anyone know where Greg
Cramp is right now -- he was great drummer and friend back in Bible School
God Bless! -Tim

Hey there all ya punks!
Just thought I\'d pop-a-line to let you all know what I\'ve been up to.
After Bible College @ LFBC I attended PRBI (Peace River Bible Institue)
for two more years to finish up my schooling. Following that year I moved
to Kamloops British Columbia (the promise land...:>) and worked for a
contractor as their painter/ finishing carpenter/ go-fer for a year. This
past year I have been going to college to become an LPN (Licenced
Practical Nurse) and will be done my program this coming Fabruary. After
that only God knows and I\'ll be excited to find out what He has in store
for me! Take care and it would be good to hear from you all,
Cheerio...Bethany

Well, life has changed a lot for me. Instead of going back to school God
has taken me in a totally different direction. I\'m living in a small
town called Carnduff which is 15 min from the Manitoba boarder and 15 min.
from the US boarder. I don\'t quite know why God brought me here yet but
I\'ve had too many people tell me that God has something big for me here
for it to be just coincidence. It\'s great living on my own with my cat.
God has blessed me amaizingly since I moved and I know there is more in
store. So, God bless you all and I hope to hear from you. Laura

Just want to drop a line and tell you all what has been going
on in Golden the past few months. As you all know from reading my last
insert I have been working at Tim Hortons for the past few months. I have
great bosses and great staff to work with. In the days I have not been
working I have been very busy working at home. You see next fall my
parents and I and my best friend are moving to Calgary AB. So the past few
weeks have been packing things up and painting and putting things away. We
have also been sorting through things that we might have had for a long
time and never will use them again. Still we have a lot of stuff to get
rid of before we move. My best friend and I will be living in my parents
house in Calgary and paying rent while my parents will be living above us.
How can I get rid of my parents. Oh well my mom said she will not treat me
like I am still living with them unless something goes wrong. Well I got
to dash cause I have to work in 30 min and I have to have my morning coffe

Good day to all and may you know that life is a great gift for
you as you read. No matter what you are doing with your life, if it is not
being done with the love of God moving you stop it untill you find it.

You can\'t live truly unless you have relationship with God. You see, no
matter what you are wanting to do, ask God. I know that this is a
different way of starting out an update. But listen, I have come to a
point in my walk with God where I am wanting to Call black-black and
white-white.

You may want to choose a job, friend, mate that you feel is right, but
never allow feeling to over ride the Living Word of God. Read it, study
it, go for it, and live it.

I know: easy to write, hard to live. Yeah, and if anyone told you that
being a Christian was easy, well...

It is a Joy and a huge blessing to be a follower of Jesus, and I would
never trade anything for what he has done in my life.

Be a thinker and a seeker of Truth. If you are wanting to Come to LFBC,
then do it. You will grow, change and never be the same.

You see some friends from myHigh School are dead, I didn\'t tell them
about Jesus. I had the chance to tell them of jesus. Having Jesus inside
of you and allowing him to live through you are two different things.
Challenge yourself to know the GOD that you serve. And don\'t waist time,
you may not have much, or they for that matter. Feel free to email me or
call my cell if you have any quesitions about LFBC, or Knowing Jesus.
1-780-747-4197

God bless and receive God\'s Love, so that you can Love yourself, so that
you can Love others. Dwight Jones

Lisa and I are living just north of Red Deer (about 8 minutes from
Parkland Mall). I have 2 part-time teaching positions right now: one
teaching grade 4/5 and one teaching \"Young Offenders\". We have two
wonderful daughters: Jasmine (7) and Holly (5). God has really blessed
us!! We just picked up 2 bunnies today--to add to our 3 cats and St.
Bernard. (Lisa\'s the animal lover... I don\'t mind them either.) We are
currently attending Trinity Christian Fellowship and are involved in the
children\'s ministry. Life has been busy this year--too busy--and I\'m
really looking forward to summer, spending more time with my family and
seeking the Lord. My time at Living Faith was life-changing--especially
the fall of 1978. I am so thankful for Pastor Stalwick and consider him to
be my spiritual father (I received Christ under his ministry at Red Deer
Lake camp in 1970.) May God bless you all as you \"Press On\" in the Lord
(the theme of my graduation).

Hello LFers!!!
It\'s been a long time!! Here\'s what\'s been up for me ...

I attended SAIT after LFBC, received my Food & Nutrition Tech and moved
out to Victoria for 8 years. I met and fell madly in love with my
wonderful husband, Terry, 4 years into that stretch. We moved out to
Lethbridge 2 years ago, and just love being back on the Prairies!! We have
a lovely house and both work full-time. God continues to bless us with
many things and people in our lives. My parents are missionaries in
Thailand, they left just after we got married and probably won\'t be back
any time soon!! Thank you, LFBC, for this great website and a chance to
catch up on each other\'s lives!! God bless all of you.

Just a quick update of whats been happening in my life in Edmotnon. After working in daycare for about 7 years I decided to try a new career route. I am attending Grant Macewan College in the teacher\'s assistant program. I have been in classes since Sept. I will be done in June 2006. This course is a one year program. I pray that God will open the doors for employment in the fall. I also work part time as a receptionist on Fridays in a pyschologist office doing basic office duties.

I am attending Old Strathcona Vineyard church where I am involved in
teaching Sunday school, dance, and serving in whatever capacity.

This summer I will be heading to Haiti for a mission trip through our
church. The team consists of 15 people, we will be leaving July 3-17,
2006. We will spend one week at an orphanage in Port au Prince doing
vacation bilbe school program, games, sports and various workshops. The
second week we will be in the interior and doing a open medical clinic.
We orginally planned the trip last summer but due to the political
conflict we postpone the trip for this coming summer. We are all excited
to go to Haiti. I never realized how much work it was to plan a mission
trip, especially all the fundraisers we have been doing and will do before
we leave in July.

Greetings all,

I'm not really sure if the second year I listed under "Years Attended" is
really correct. I can't remember. Isn't that terrible. I'm getting old,
I guess.

Just thought I would let you all know what is going on with me. I am
living in San Antonio, TX now. I fell in love with a Texan I met online,
and we have been married for nearly two year now.

I also got my BEd back in 2003 and am an elementary school teacher at a
Christian School here in San Antonio.

Camrose Alberta whcih is the best city in Alberta to live. We also attend
the best church in all of Alberta Solid Rock Free Lutheran church. I am a
