Hello Everyone! Were so glad to be in touch with you all!

Please forgive us for taking this long to reconnect with you. We are well & God is sooooo good!!! So here it is - the Forceformation adventure!!! Yay God! Youre beautiful!

Due to certain feedback we wanted to give you all a refresher on us... Where did you come up with your approach? For many years Gods lead us to fulfill our life verses (Josh. 1:9 & Col. 3:16+). In varying ways Gods confirmed that our efforts were to benefit the body of Christ at large.

he heard another message. The pastor interrupted it with a word of knowledge. It pin-pointed someone visiting that was called to minister to the body of Christ at large. So stop holding back - get out of the boat Peter. -Still timid in starting a ministry from scratch we sat on it. In our regular church service the pastor stopped preaching & with a word of knowledge pin-pointed a pair in the 2nd service (in our section). He said theres a couple ...trying to handle transition in the same old way but Gods doing a new thing so follow Him..otherwise it would be like ..(wait for it).. returning to Egypt. -Later at home in watching a respected teacher speaking we were shocked to hear him stop the message referring to someone watching who is in transition & needs to stop the usual efforts & to follow God in this new thing - otherwise it would be like (know whats coming?) returning to Egypt. -Rory was very worried about provision so we prayed How will we eat Lord while ministering? Later on Rory went with a friend to deliver food from a food bank to a home & while there, a homeless man was walking by & interrupted Rorys conversation with another by yelling at him GOD WILL PROVIDE!!! He then immediately walked away. -We then asked for confirmation saying You show us the provision God & we will step out. The following Sunday our pastor said, looking in our section, Sometimes we try & force Gods hand. We say God you show us the provision and we will step out in obedience - but God says You step out first & obey then Ill show you My provision. - Dana then asked God to give us a free home by a certain date as final

Yuh ..but.. are you sure its God? We have a system of checks & balances that help to keep us biblical & on course. 1.) Consistency of leading in us. During praying about it & trying to get another ministry position in the familiar ways, Rory kept feeling convicted about the process. Dana also felt that the Lord had spoken to her & said Do not try and do things this way - that would be like returning to Egypt. We were thankful for unity. 2.) We asked a real heavenly Father for confirmations bigger than us & outside of us. Here is our list. - Wed been praying for years about ministering in fine-arts, worship & teaching. Danas job had finished & Rorys green-card (while in U.S.A.) had finally arrived. We experienced an internal tug to apply ourselves to this ministry but felt intimidated at the enormity of it. Rory went to a service for a message. The dates got mixed up so

confirmation. On the last day, we were called from Canada by someone saying that God lead them to offer us a place to stay for free! 3.) We then shared with trusted people & were also blessed, confirmed & released by our church leadership. Quick Add In....!! Now remember - up until this point - we were going to start this new ministry from scratch in the states. We felt, using our human wisdom, that it would be better to base ourselves out of somewhere in the U.S. Our thought was that, financially, it would be an easier launch. However, the Lord impressed into our hearts to put our stuff in storage & to go to Canada for three months. We were to apply ourselves to divine appointments that He brought our way. At the end of three months He would let us know what was next. He did... and so weve been here in Canada for almost three years. P.T.L! - may God have His way. And so..? Since then weve been ministering to, and being ministered to as well, within the context of divine appointments & assignments. What an honor to be part of this process! We have seen & experienced the Lord moving powerfully within relationship mentoring in both one on ones as well as couples. Worship, teaching (group setting), fine arts ministry, helps & various events have all been areas Gods also moved in. Man what a ride! We quote these in general as youve asked us to share what weve been involved in. However, its Gods glory & His only. Christ truly says in John 15:5 that were only fruitful as we abide in Him.

To the measure weve abided in Him weve been fruitful. He Does All Things Well! The Lord says (Jn. 15:1-8) our Father is glorified when we bear much fruit: -One couple said: Your passion for Jesus & Your vibrant worship inspire us. -One has said: A fire does not have to be intentional, it just is, and touches everything in its path. Your burning for Jesus has lit many & will continue to do so. Burn, Rory, burn. -One gentleman said: I love how you, Rory, are so intense about seeking and pleasing the Father. -Another couple said: We have been blessed in going to Rory & Dana for counsel. How they ministered to us & were always available to us - was such a help to us & were thankful. -A woman shares: Dana is one of the most self sacrificial people I know who is ready to pour into the lives of others at any given time. I have been so encouraged & blessed by Dana & am excited to continue in relationship with her. -Another woman shares: Dana... you are a woman of grace who has impacted my life in a big way. .... In you the Lord shines... I am blessed to call you my sister in the Lord. John 3:27: ..from heaven. In awe we know, of ourselves, weve worked nothing but rather gratefully accept instead what heaven grants us. PTL!

Yuh, but what did God say..? I mean - Hes the Qualifier...right? Heres scriptural precedence & parameters for living by faith. Verses saying otherwise were for the realities of the original audience or speak to motives that dont apply in our case as confirmed by other fruit. Scriptures never in conflict with Itself. Remember - context..context..context. - Paul & other apostles, at times, lived by faith. Christ Himself said that one whose lifes spent on the gospel earns their living by it as well. 1 Cor. 9:1-18; Acts 18:1-4; Phil. 4:10-20. - The disciples (& the 72 in Lk.10), for a time, worked & lived by faith - per Christs instruction. Even Christ, Himself, received support & means from others. Matt. 10:1-10; Lk. 8:1-3. - The early church modeled mutual support & sacrificial giving. Acts 2:4247; 4:32; 2Cor. 8:1-15; 9:6-15; - Gods set priorities within a model that reflects His qualities. Christians - being His - living for Him & through Him & following His lead fulfill these priorities & model. Then we can reflect Him. All else comes from self & is destructive & actually against the Lord (following are passages intentionally sequenced - please read). Psalm 139:14-16; Eph. 2:10, Matt.5:16; Jer. 10:23; Prov.3:6 & Ja.1:5-8 & Lk.6:46; Is.30:1 & 1John 5:1-4.. And...finally. We believe its important to show the birthing of this chapter & so Who it was that birthed it . We love you all. Please consider how you can help us as we equip the Lords own & reach out to those needing His healing love & restoration to His creative intent.
