Videography
Posted by admin | Filed under Uncategorized
Let me just say that I love video. A few months ago I had the opportunity to film my first wedding video using the Canon 7d. I enjoyed paying attention to movement and flow of a wedding and being able to have a different perspective. I shot Niki and Tyler’s wedding from a photographer’s standpoint and here is the result:

Usually I am up with the worship team playing music. But, this past Sunday I had the opportunity to take pictures of our church’s worship service. I really enjoyed hearing the music from the audience this time. Here’s a few shots from the service.

Hard At Work
Posted by admin | Filed under Uncategorized
My Dad is back home safe in Canada but continues to work hard to secure relief efforts in Haiti. Another team from Emmanuel International is preparing to go down.
Click Here to see a link from Rogers Tv who interviewed my Dad.
Continue to keep Haiti in your prayers and on your heart.

For all of you who have been praying for my Dad and his team: thank you!
Yesterday, he went to the Canadian embassy and was able to get on a military flight home to Canada. He is now home safely and attempting to process all he has seen and heard.
Please continue to pray for Haiti and local churches attempting to recover. There is an extreme need for food, water and basic living conditions.
Here are a few links if you are not sure of how to help:

Call from Haiti
Posted by admin | Filed under Uncategorized
Last night I received a call directly from my Dad in Haiti. It was interesting and kind of surreal to realize I was talking to someone close to me who is on the front lines in such a harsh situation.
My Dad accounted how they have to sleep outside so that nothing falls on them in the middle of the night. He sounded very weary, and rightly so. There is not nearly enough food to go around and dealing with that reality is tough.
Continue to pray for safety and strength to persevere through this. As of right now, the team’s plan is to return home to Canada on Sunday. Pray that travel plans would come together.
Finally, an encouraging, heart warming image I saw on MSNBC this morning:

Haiti Updates
Posted by admin | Filed under Uncategorized
I just wanted to have a central area to keep everyone posted on the work of my Dad in Haiti. I can’t remember to keep everyone updated so I will post information here as I hear it.
Here is an email I received accounting some details:
“Dear friends,
Thank you so much for your prayers for Andy and his friends Dave Lock, and Andrew Lock, (paramedic Toronto EMS). They arrived safely in Port au Prince last night. Their original intention of flying directly to PauP early Monday a.m. did not happen. There was no flight. Instead they flew to Santa Domingo in the Dominican Republic hoping to rent a vehicle and drive across. Instead they were met by Pastor Jose Lopez (arranged by a mutual friend), spent the night with Jose’s family, then were able to join a convoy of Dominican aid workers that were departing the next day. A long and slow journey, including a flat tire and many food/supply drops, and they were met by Pastor Martinez at a town outside of Port.This morning there was another 6.1 earthquake in Haiti. Andy reports that they are all fine. The school, girls home and church at Delmas 33 (Bethesda) suffered little or no damage but most continue to sleep outside. Pastor Martinez has set up 7 community contact points in the area around the house, to help determine specific needs of his neighbours. He also said there are no words to describe what he has seen.
Update on Marbial and Cabaret (two of the outlying church & school compounds): The school and dining room at Marbial have both suffered extensive damage! There were not many injuries to individuals, just structures. Cabaret school also has been heavily damaged (this is where the high school is that many students travel very far to attend, sleep at school during the week and travel home on the weekends).
Food and water continue to be scarce, we pray for aid to reach Pastor Martinez and his new community of neighbours he is trying to help.
For those of you that have been to PauP when coming past the traffic circle going to the orphanage it was absolutely heartbreaking and very emotional for Andy/Dave, it looks as though a bomb has hit the area. There is virtually nothing left. It has been a very long, tiring day but God has made a way for the team and we are so thankful that they are safe. Praise The Lord!
There continue to be many, many needs. Please pray specifically for
- safety
- physical rest
- prepare their minds and hearts for what they are about to see
- renew their skills and provide the equipment
- That God will bring them to where He will use them.
- continue to pray for the Haitians and those still trapped alive.
- for the country of HaitiThank you for your prayers!”
