Today we met up with our mayor Sam Sullivan, our meeting was only 15 minutes, limited to only 4 people. But it was amazing what God can do in 15 minutes!

God has hand picked these 4 people for a purpose, our names were : Queenie Ng, Esther Kong, Esther Yuen, Jackie Leung.

As a team was praying for us the night before, they said we are going in with Queen Esther's anointing and the favor of the Lord. So we have 2 Esthers and 1 Queenie, and 1 Jack = Prince!

Indeed we had favor from the Lord for this meeting!

Our heart was to pray and bless him at such a stressful time for him. Prayer and blessing was the strategy that God showed me as I ask the Lord for discernment. Even though there could have been many political topics we can bring out, but for this specific meeting our strategy was to simply bless and pray and that's it!

So we went to the city hall with excited hearts, not knowing what to expect, and it turned out to be so much more than what we hoped for.

He greeted us with Cantonese welcoming words as we walked in. And as we introduced ourselves he was really glad to meet with us.

He said " I rather meet with young people like you guys more often than to deal with the city"!

We expressed our thanksgiving to his service and what an inspiration he is to us. And we proceed to tell him our purpose here is not to talk politics, but we want to pray and bless him and his work for our city.

To our surprise he received it with a joyful heart and a smile on his face! First I was worried that he might think we took his time for prayer might be not a good use of his business time. But we went in with the favor of the Lord, like Esther before seeing the king.

Queenie, a girl from our group was really inspired to pray for his physical healing.

We all prayed for Sam Sullivan's concern for the poor, homeless, and broken in the city.

We prayed for a spirit of joy and peace to be in his office, and we also prayed for his assistant Anna, who got us this meeting in the first place, she was tremendously nice and actually request for a second meeting with us in the future!

Just when our group finished praying and said Amen, to our surprise Sam Sullivan also prayed for us!

When all is done, he said "Wow what a difference! I feel the peace and the joy! Thank you for praying!"

And we proceed to present him the gifts, we got him 2 pairs of chopsticks and a hand made rose, both have Chinese scripture written on it! And he read it out loud( he knows Cantonese fluently and can read Chinese characters).

All in all we came out of that meeting sensing that we were like an oasis to him, and that further confirms a scripture I read this morning form Psalm 63, " in a dry and weary land" David seeks the Lord with thirst. So we seal all of this in Jesus' name!

thanks for praying for us!

(This is a recent picture from a group in Ottawa that just met with their MP. Great meeting we hear...can't wait to get the full report. You go guys!!!)

Here is the testimony from the team:

"Our Meeting with Pierre was excellent! It was really awesome because Pastor Syd represented us - as Pierre is his area Mp, along with our church's area Mp! It was an especially significant day that our meeting landed on. That day Pierre Poilievre was standing on Parliament Hill at a very important rally. This rally was for our Canadian troops, with General Hilliard, and for Pierre bringing the red ribbon and red Friday's campaign to the forefront of our nation. He was the Mp who stood up and said we need to support our troops!!!(I sure you know this) So awesome!! And he started Red Friday's! Our meeting with him was right after the hill rally on RED Friday afternoon.

A group of 10 of us, all wearing red ribbons and some in red shirts, - 4 pastors and our amazing group of totally awesome young people - crowded into the reception area of Pierre's office. It was so crazy because our meeting took place with all the people that were working in the office also.

As Pierre came in to meet the team He was very receptive to the group. Right off the top the young people began to speak about each of the issues one at a time. It was so amazing! As they began to speak about one man one woman in marriage - one of the girls had read every one of Pierre's speeches. She asked him if she could quote something he had said in the house, He was quite taken back as she pulled out a book containing everyone of his speeches. She began to read his own personal words written on his very strong stand for traditional marriage and family values. She then honoured him by thanking him for his strong stand on this very important issue. One by one the young people spoke with boldness and respect - the incredible presence in that room - amazing! Others who were coming into the office - since our meeting was
in the reception area- stood and listened as we spoke on abortion, the age of consent, and children and internet porn. We found out that Mr. Poilievre's views support those of a moral Canada - He's awesome!!!

He was not too aware of the global poverty bill - he asked us for info and said he would research. (thought this was interesting as per your email on this issue). We thanked him for his service to Canada his stand for these very important issues, and for what he had done in standing for our troops! We presented him with a gift - a picture of our group - with a scripture thanking God for him. We all signed it with
words of encouragement and thanks. We then tied it with a red ribbon in honour of his campaign and of our troops. We then asked him if we could pray for him for strength and he said yes. Our pastor prayed for him as all our young people gathered around him praying. It was very awesome!

The meeting time we were given was 30 minutes and at exactly 30 min - incredible - when I looked at my watch - it was done right on time!

Seriously a major God moment! Wow! Some of the comments we received from people waiting in the reception area and Pierre's secretary were just incredible!! They were so deeply moved at seeing the young people standing for morality - one woman was
moved to tears as she said to me "Don't stop doing what you are doing - It is so beautiful to see what has happened here today - To see young people wanting morality - don't stop.

Sorry about the - I'll keep it short (this email) - ya right! Haha! It was so awesome! Pierre asked if we could keep in contact - and has accepted an invitation from our Pastor to come to speak to our church - Very awesome!!

The young people are ready for their next appointments coming soon! Keep you informed.

The team going to the Siege are soooo excited!!!.....

They were screaming into my cell phone at the top of their lungs - "Colleen we're going to The Siege!!!!!" Can't wait for all that's coming!! So Awesome!!!


Talk to you soon,
Colleen Noble

Just five days after Princess Diana was killed, Mother Teresa died September 5, 1997.

The daughter of an Albanian grocer, she joined an order at age 18 and began working in the slums of Calcutta.
Starting the Missionaries of Charity, which care for the blind, aged, lepers, crippled, and dying, Mother Teresa stated:
"I see Jesus in every human being. I say to myself, this is hungry Jesus, I must feed him. This is sick Jesus. This one has leprosy or gangrene...I serve because I love Jesus."

A Nobel Prize recipient, 83-year-old Mother Teresa spoke to 3,000 attendees, including President and Mrs. Clinton and Vice-President Al Gore at the National Prayer Breakfast, February 3, 1994: "I feel that the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a war against the child, a direct killing of the innocent child, murder by the mother herself, and if we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another?...Please don't kill the child...give me the child. I am willing to accept any child who would be aborted and to give that child to a married couple who will love the child and be loved by the child."
