The Rock and that darned flu...

Early  in my term ( I have been at this since August ) I booked  my passage to St. John's to visit David Neuman and see what he was up to at Memorial University NewfoundlandChi Alpha at MUN is a unique campus ministry which may be the longest standing one in our extended fellowship. While the Pentecostal Assemblies of Newfoundland is a stand alone organization ( for reasons best known to them), they have a solid working relationship with those of us in the rest of the Dominion of Canada, at the PAOC.  Anyway, I digress. There is a lot going on out there.


David is the Pentecostal chaplain on campus. He is also the campus pastor of Mosaic, along with the director of the student ministry , Chi Alpha. Newfoundland once had a distinct pentecostal school board  which has  given the PAON longstanding credibility and a seat at the proverbial institutional table. David enjoys privileges as a chaplain which many of his coworkers at other universities do not.  Being that as it may, the important thing is what he does with them. It appears from this distance that God has placed the right guy for the job.


I was supposed to be on The Rock this past weekend, but as it turns out that infernal H1N1  flu has laid David's  family low, along with a whole bunch of his students. Given that, I cancelled the WestJet plane ticket and will  make plans to visit at a later date.

Check them out on their Facebook. It's all going on at MUN and I am looking forward to finally getting out there.
