Amazing Pizza op & Great Show - the Adventures of Bruce

We had about 16-20 Living Hope fans at Gordon's show last night: wow! We had so much fun. Doing life together IS the way to live!

Our Old Portland campus had 8 people; Several from our Mall and Brush Prairie campus and six of us from the East Vancouver campus made this a very fun night.

Here's a link to my Blackberry clip of Gordon playing at the Hawthorne

Mark it down: Oct 10 is our BIG DAY

Mark your calendar for the return of Seth and Holli McRae to our campus! Seth will be leading our East Vancouver campus (no, Laura and I are not leaving, just adding to the other campuses -East Vancouver will still be our home campus) and we want to welcome them home.

Following the 11 a.m. service on October 10 we will have a welcome home potluck lunch! Yes, you can bring Starbucks or Stumptown gifts for our "Returning Home couple." Also, bring a side dish (salad, veggie, or dessert) - we'll provide the main dishes! This is going to be a grand fun day for all!

DO U BELONG? NeXt Step?

What a way to do life: With Friends; laughing, playing, praying and building memories that make us want Heaven; forever! Four of us guys came back from a one-day "Road Trip" so charged up! Let's do life together -We ARE family! Ephesians 4, I Corinthians 12.

To Love More!

(LINK to Bruce's personal blog: 4 Simple Food Rules to fantastic health)

I spoke this last Sunday at East Vancouver about God's Ultimate Health Plan. It's all about friendships, marriages, and other relationships that are whole, real, authentic, and forever!

Lie: I don't make that much of a difference (Ephesian 4:16 - Every one of us makes a HUGE difference in each other's life).

Lie: I don't belong (no one really cares that much for me and will be there for me always)! We were loved and viewed as 100% genuine and WOW from before time (Ephesians 1:4-5).

I also shared how these lies have made us sick physically with the food Giant Corporations are feeding us (they are really making BIG $$$ off of us). The problem is the two lies above are what fuels unhealthy physical health.

Want to know why the French eat more cheese, drink more wine, and dine on fantastic foods but have MUCH better health than us (they ask 3 questions to our 1 regarding food)?

September 19 is my oldest son's concert at the Hawthorne Theater (You should join us) : LINK

India update - Special Haiti Report this Sunday night

Please invite friends to hear my dear friend Nicky, share about her recent "Only God" trip to Haiti. This special Mission Live Update will take place at our campus this Sunday, Aug. 29 at 6:30 p.m.

Dr. Kumar continues

to use "Cell phone Preaching" to spread the Good-news about Jesus to so many people every Friday. The miracles of healing that takes place at the close of these services is so amazing. These pastors have such faith and God is revealing himself to this very "dark" country. In the pictures below is a lady who was sent home to die; her blood plateletcount was less than 10,000 (normal is 150,000) and she had Septicaemia in her uterus and body. Her hemoglobin was level was less than 5 gms. She was brought to the cell phone preaching and was healed. Her immediate visit back to the hospital showed her platelet count to be 200,000. This lady had been so sick for months, but now has renounced her former Hindu faith and is a living testimony to God's power.

Dr. Kumar is working with thousands of those who lost their homes due to flooding in the area.

I've include some pictures of the kids who have recently been rescued from abuse and are receiving education and food everyday in our new School Day-care ministry that Jim and Diana Brownlee are helping spearhead (You've got to ask Diana what YOU can do - its so incredible the difference you can make).

IT WILL BE A BLAST!

Dr. Kumar (from India) is at our Campus this weekend (and tomorrow night - Women . . . check this out . . .)

This Sunday Dr. Kumar is here at East Vancouver (the picture, right, is of his youngest son); but first let me mention a special event at East Vancouver tomorrow night.

This Wednesday, July 14, at 7 p.m. Serious Coffee (Our LH Women's ministry) is doing a Summer Picnic! If you didn't know about this or didn't know if you could make the time to be here let me share with you from a guy's perspective: "Anytime you can be in the same room as two very powerful mentors lives (These two women are such spiritual giants), I think it's so worth doing it! I'm not going to say in this blog who these two women are, but I'll tell you outright if you come up and ask me on Sunday (you can email me too - bruce.lhceast@gmail.com). This is a summer picnic that allows you to meet other women who want to grow spiritually (Women from several faiths, a mix of those from Living Hope, as well as those who have never attended our church will be there). Then you'll get a feel if you'd like to consider doing one of the fall, winter, or spring sessions this new year. Try it out. Email me or Angela Taylor (angietomlivinghopechurch@gmail.com).

Dr Kumar and Only God International are at our campus this Sunday, July 18, from 10 a.m. until after the 11 a.m. service.

See, hear, and experience the latest miracle in India. This will be your only opportunity this year to meet Dr. Kumar and his wife. Only God International (Living Hope Church Mission Outreach) will be hosting a Continental breakfast from 10 a.m. to 10:30. This is a great opportunity to meet Dr Kumar and his wife Jean-Mary. Dr. Kumar will then share with us during our 11 a.m. service! I'm so very excited about this amazing chance to meet a man who was born an untouchable but now guides 800 pastors, a hospital, several clinics, and an orphanage. All of this for one passion -to bring out of darkness, into the Light, those who don't have a forever-friendship with Jesus. You will be so glad you made met these two amazing people. God takes what society calls "Untouchable" and uses to bring eternal Hope to one of the darkest places on our planet.
