Prayer Points
 
1. Continue to pray for your M.P. as they spend a couple more weeks with their family in your riding.  Pray that they will be refreshed in body, soul, and spirit.
 
2. Election talk is ramping up again.  Please pray for wisdom for all the leaders of the parties as they consider the timing of another election and the dissolution of Parliament. 
 
3. Pray about the selection of a new Supreme Court Justice.
A Parliamentary committee is now reviewing the candidates. We anticipate that the nominee will likely come from Atlantic Canada. 
 
4. Pray for our 14 Nazarites as they prepare to spend 3 months with us this Fall.

In the last month there have been reflections on prayer from Philip Yancey, insights about how to pray for the Ethics Committee, and of course reports from our CampFire.

Greetings,
       
 We've just finished an amazing week with some incredible teenagers who attended our first CampFire.  (Read more about that below.)
 
Wanted: Cooks for NHOP 
 
chef's hat  Please pray for us as we search for cooks who could come to work in our kitchen.  The Ryans who were planning on continuing as our cooks this Fall have now had to make other plans. 
 
  This means we are ready to consider other qualified people who might be available for the Fall, and perhaps beyond to wear this hat!
 
  If you know of someone who would be a great fit please forward them this email and encourage them to contact us immediately at 613-789-4907.
 
Camp Fire2 
 
What an amazing week we have just experienced at NHOP!  The Lord sent us the cream of the crop from across the country - all the way from St. John's, NFLD to Edmonton, AB.

  They stretched into all the challenges we gave them and came through with flying colours.  Campers learned about prayerwalking, inner-city missions, prophetic evangelism, and event outreach, all through an immersion experience as they ministered alongside our team. 
 
hike  They also hiked the Gatineau Hills, cruised the Ottawa River and visited the Museum of Civilization. (Actually they did all 3 of those things on the same day!)
 
  Of course, they also learned about praying for the nation, and spent many hours in worship and intercession.  We were blessed as a leadership team that sometimes they even started without us!
 
  The culmination of the week was their involvement as key volunteers during "The Cry" this past Saturday.  Many bystanders thanked them for their great effort.
 
  You can read more about their experiences on our regular daily blog
 
We will probably run this CampFire again next year, so stay tuned for announcements in 2009.
  
 

 Closing Thoughts:  

  We now have 14 young adults registered for our Nazarite program that runs for 3 months this Fall.  We have space for only one more in this program.  It sounds like it is going to be an exciting time around Ottawa come September. 
 
 Now is the time to call us about arranging your prayer team to spend a week with us. 
 
  Rob & Fran are spending the next 3 weeks in Ireland and Scotland as they celebrate their 30th anniversary.
