TSAY KEH & BLUEBERRY FIRST NATIONS

GLEN & BRIAN JOINED GEOFF CLARKE OF YWAM MACKENZIE BC LAST WEEK TO DO SOME HOCKEY CLINICS UP IN NORTHERN BC ABORIGINAL VILLAGES.

THE WEATHER WAS TOO WARM FOR OUTDOOR ICE IN TSAY KEH ( north of Mackenzie) SO WE PLAYED BALL HOCKEY FOR ALMOST 5 HOURS! THE NIGHT BEFORE WE HAD THE PRIVILEDGE TO DELIVER A BUNCH OF HOCKEY GEAR FOR THE KIDS. THEY HAVE AN OUTDOOR RINK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE VILLAGE THAT THEY HAVEN'T USED FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS, THIS YEAR THERE IS A NEW TEACHER IN THE VILLAGE WHO HAS A HOCKEY BACKGROUND AND IS PUTTING IN THE ICE.

NEXT WE DROVE TO THE BLUEBERRY FIRST NATIONS (north of Ft. St. John) FOR A CLINIC. THEIR RINK WASN'T READY SO THEY RENTED INDOOR RINKS IN THE AREA WHERE WE DID 3 ICE SESSIONS AND HAD A CHANCE TO SPEAK ABOUT GOD'S LOVE FOR THEM.

WE'LL SPEND THE NEXT MONTH RESTING AND PREPARING FOR THE EPIC HOCKEY OUTREACH 2010 TO FINLAND/RUSSIA & EAST ASIA. WE LEAVE JANUARY 4TH.
