staryeyes said...

Most Definitely the Phillippines!!Right Vren and Mooky?

YPMARK....Peter? said...

BUT I WANNA GO TO ISRAEL!!! *in the tone of "I WANNA HOTDOG!"*

j.elle said...

FLIP! Can't we do both?

j.elle said...

Check out my page to see more pictures of the Philippines.

*rebecca* said...

ummm,can I put in a long-distance vote?? Israel, please

Jessica deLeeuw said...

Israel... to experience and see what some of the people in the Bible experienced and saw... and to go to some of the same places that Jesus went to... my vote... Israel! It's a part of our Heritage.

Yeah I think we should go to Israel before something crazy happens there that probably will prevent tourists from going there and also because it is the birthplace of our Saviour so...... i think flip has to wait.

Israel!!!

|--Matt--| said...

i think we should go to isreal first, cuz we dont need to worry about half of the phill blowing up before we get there... although i'm sure we'll be perfectly safe in isreal while were there ofcourse. :)

YPMARK....Peter? said...

It's a close game so far...
In votes it's 8-6 for Flip.
In arguments it's 3-0 for Israel.

BOTH!! But yeah I agree, Phillippines is going to be great andd I really want to go and can't wait buuuutttt...... I REALLY would like to go to Israel, and the way things are going, the sooner the better... I want to go see Israel not go Die in Israel...
I would really like to see where Jesus walked and talked so many years ago. But if we go to Israel, lets not completly ditch the Phillippines idea, I still really want to go!!

Jason said...

nah nah nah
listen up folks...thanks for coming out but we got our decisions made..im here now
who DOESNT want to go to a place of Jesus walks, garden talks, apotle trots?
were talkin rockin mountains and skull rocks!
the Lord's land, where his feet touched the earth, where he died..imagine the peace imagine the breathtaking views and revelations of the passages of Jesus imagine the possibilities of walking in the spirit in the land where it all began...

No Name...rePeter. said...

Oh yeah, well the Philippines has better souvenirs! Hows that for an argument?! And they have mangos... and cool city names...

EstherH said...

Fresh fruit does have a nice ring too it...yummm! Haha, Seriously though....I'm cool with whatever, I can't say I really want to go to either more than the other, IT'S ALL SO CONFUSING!

bRuce bRuce said...

Esther, you cannot be on both sides of the argument. I say Philli cos the bottom line is souls. And I like no names argument

Sara Rivas said...

The filipinos have louis vuitton, prada,coach,you name it for sooooo cheap... sheesh people ;0)

Jason said...

i have 10 friends
they all said israel
so the score looks like 16-8 israel
thanks for comin out tho
it was a close race
n sara they got bartyring in israel
cousins came back with arm loads for about 10 bucks canadian and yuh real clothes too..u can actually wear them

Jason said...

besides
what are we sayin here
we haveta go to flippies to win souls? can tbe done in israel?..i figure it this way...if we go to the holy land...we'd be feelin holier then weve ever felt on this land..there aint no stoppin the power of god when its alive in ur loins..think bout them apples

j.elle said...

I agree with No Name's argument. My dad bought me a Rolex watch when he was there last month (no mispelling). I think it was like $10.

Most importantly, the people there are HUNGRY for revival!!!

But I would love to go to Israel as well.

belindaga said...

Many people told me that Philippines is good also and really exciting and they said Baguio City is cool because of the weather,thats what they told me...but its better to go first in Israel before Philippines...bot how many of you want to go to Philippines?

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! YOU ALL MAKE ME WANNA GO INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*pulling her hair out*

EstherH said...

I say we skip both and just go to Manitoba...

Unknown said...

i would go israel if i had a say but i woudlnt be able to go cause im to young:(

Marks Starlet said...

I got a good idea! How about we all just agree on the phillippines.... ya.. ok! Sure.. we'll do that!!

bRuce bRuce said...

Manitoba it is.
There, it's settled

YPMARK....Peter? said...

myself: what would Jesus do?
myself: well, what did He do?
myself: oh, He went to Israel!

No Name...rePeter. said...

myself: what did Jesus say?
Jesus: Matthew 28:19

Anonymous said...

I'd say we fly to Turkey do the 7 churches + mountain biking + eat amazingly fantastic food + visit some family (I am little bias on this one )

than fly to Israel and do all the sites there

than fly to Philippines and reach out to the lost souls.

If that doesn't work than I'd be happy with just Israel !

Anonymous said...

On the way back we can fly back to Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport just for the kick of it! And drive back to Calgary

j.elle said...

What's in Manitoba???

Oh they have the Holt Renfrew Outlet!

Courtney Leigh James :) said...

I want to go to both now... :)

EstherH said...

SOULS are in Manitoba, Jael, SOULS!!

EstherH said...

Mark, I like your WWJD comment! haha

Jason said...

ez-e 34:2-10
i prayed bout it this is the verses god gave me..its revival in
israel cant deny the good book
sorry flips
u lose
god said so

bRuce bRuce said...

I don-no jus don-no.
Israel is Theology and Phillie is Theology and missions.
Matt 28:19
Acts 2:39 yes 39

bRuce bRuce said...

How about Mark k. Jason D. and Aydin go to Turkey, Israel and Manitoba and the rest of us rock Phillie??

Marks Starlet said...

I got a good idea! How about we go to the phillippines!

YPMARK....Peter? said...

Dunno 'bout you, but I'm going with God!

bRuce bRuce said...

Cool, so you're coming to the Phillipines

Anonymous said...

Amen !

Anonymous said...

wherever pastor! Turkey, Israel, Manitoba, Philippines, BC, Mexico, Down Town Calgary even to Quebec just lead! We'll follow ...

Anonymous said...

but I must admit we would have to pray and fast for a week about Saskatoon ! :-)

Jessica deLeeuw said...

Wow.. this is awsome! I say Israel, and then Philippines the year after. Shopping and food have nothing to do with decision... it's to walk where Jesus walked... ya... my vote... Israel. If we go to Israel then we can be more pumped up spiritually to go to the Philippines.

Although I'm sure the shopping would be awesome in Israel too ;0)!! What's the count now?

16-0 for Israel!!!!

Oh ya... here's Mandy's vote - She wants to go to Israel too!

j.elle said...

Guy - I love your arguments. You just went up a notch in my books!

Jason said...

last time i checked there was a malaria outbreak in philipines
and they were having problems with this worm infection that is in their fresh water
but israel ..hmm nope...everythin looks good there...lil bit of fighting in lebanon but nothin to be worried bout
looks like israel unless..u know u peeps want a lil malaria with a side of worms..we can do it that way

Jason said...

whoa
shh
shh

i think its the sound of minds changing...flips aint doesnt sound so hot when diseases are involved eh?

neetobenito said...

I know I am not classified as a youth, but I think going to Isreal would be awesome.

Marks Starlet said...

All of you are OUT OF CONTROL!... and I love IT!! :)

Jessica deLeeuw said...

Jason you are crazy!!!

YPMARK....Peter? said...

WOW! This has proved to be quite a popular debate... I think it's our biggest post ever!

Allie_Marie said...

Hey, if I may put in my two cents...what about somewhere in Europe. Safe, pretty, English is spoken, and there are people hungry for God as well...Just a thought.

cheparita said...

I say we go to Israel. It IS a once in a life-time experience. I would love to be where Jesus was. And there is lots of souls in Israel just like there is anywhere else in the world.

V said...

Money money money..start saving. I'm going to Israel.

Jessica deLeeuw said...

I'm with ya Vren!

here jason.. and you say israel is safe

Marks Starlet said...

Deehay! do you think we should go to the Phillippines? naaaww..right!!?
Everybody else...At the top of that page DJ posted, it says (iris presents)..... you click on that for a reality check! :)

No Name...rePeter. said...

Thanks Deehay!
I thought all the people with good sense had stopped posting... ;)
Me and you are gonna go to the phils for outreach while everyone else is off touring the middle east on vacation!
Sound good? The harvest is truly plentious... ;-)

j.elle said...

You guys are awesome!!!

Jason said...

ha dj mang if i wanted a picture of a map i woulda taken social..
now lets take a look at the flip side
http://www.lonelyplanet.com/letters/sea/phi_pc.htm
take a look at these "enthused" tourist letters...10 hour bus rides, malaria, sickness, unfriendly, terrorist attacks hmm yay i cant wait!
wait wait oh heres somethen: On a recent trip to Mt. Province on Northern Luzon, I had the opportunity to climb Mount Amuyao. It is the highest peak in Mt. Province and among the top ten highest peaks in the Philippines
if i wanted to climb a mountain i would go to banff...ZIING

Marks Starlet said...

LOL... OH MY WORD!! Anyone else who feels that this is their favorite website too? Jason your cracking me up!!

Dj Norris said...

I fail to notice anything about malaria or terrorist attacks. However, on the topic of terrorist attacks... http://www.iris.org.il/hizbgph.htm
Following the trend of this graph without saying it doubled every year as they imply attacks should be well over 700 by now. I think mangoes and fresh mahi mahi sounds slightly more appealing. =P

neetobenito said...

I think going to Isreal would be so amazing. The Phillipines was one of the greatest experiences I have had yet, and can only imagine that going to Isreal would be just a great if not more so.

Jason said...

hey dj
i hear you dont like to follow the bible
for in it it says, "respect your elders"
i bet even your parents want israel...so now you should honor thy mother and father, any other laws you wanna break?
that altar is lookin mighty fine right about now ehhh buddaayy

Matt D said...

Hey Jason just a lil' bit of friendly facts. There is only about 7 million people living in Israel, and about 1.5 billion people living around them in neighboring countries that are against them. But never the less I dont think there will be any threat towards some christian tourists.

Shad said...

attractive .

http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/tw/tw_922.html

"Overall, conditions of lawlessness -- including running gun battles and kidnappings -- prevail in the Gaza Strip; daily incidents of intra-Palestinian violence also occur in the West Bank. Violent demonstrations and armed conflicts between supporters of Palestinian factions have increased in both areas."
-point of interest #1

"American citizens in the Gaza Strip should depart immediately, a recommendation that the State Department has maintained and renewed since the deadly roadside bombing of a U.S. Embassy convoy in Gaza on October 15, 2003. This recommendation applies to all Americans, including journalists and aid workers. Militants have continued to abduct Western citizens, and terrorist organizations have threatened attacks against U.S. interests."
-point of interest #2

this is directed at the US citizens but i highly doubt that bombs and terrorists (acts) know the difference between Canadians, Americans, and even locals .
fun fun fun .

think, lets try handing out tracks about apostolic revival in the streets . hmmm for some reason i dont think that would have a very positive outcome .
we are living in the end times no doubt, whats more important :
- sightseeing
- or souls
??????
i understand that seeing the places Jesus was would be VERY meaningful, but how bout reaching and working then if Jesus allows, a break .

No Name...rePeter. said...

Good post mookey!
More gun winks for you at church tomorrow night! AWWWWWWW <3

Dj Norris said...

mmm shad, you better learn to respect your elders. ill see you at the altar wednesday night.

Jason said...

alright im startin to get peeved
stop using the argument *in baby voice* "its about souls"...cause as much as i agree whole heartidly with u on the topic there are not souls ONLY in flip town. israel needs to be saved too...perhaps moreso...and if we go for this reason armed with truth think about the blessing we would have...you're all worrying about tomorrow..worrying about what COULD happen and probably wont...what happens if we are apart of prophesy apart of the Jews finding truth again about them returning to become messianic!how many times have our elders in the church gone to the flip side?
...exactly a lot
now how many times have any of them gone to israel for this purpose...*pin hits ground* thats what i thought...we have a role to play here peeps....lets not look at what could happen or what might happen and lets concentrate on whats gonna happen...truth youth and the paving of israel...UNITE

Jason said...

plus...how many times dows GOD have to say it...
Israel has the BLESSING of GOD...they are not gonna be destroyed until the coming of the messiah and there is a new jerusalem..but the rapture has got to happen first anyways so what are u worried about...Israel will not fall..i dont care if the whole world atacks them...they still have GOD on their side and when u have the creator backing you up nothin that anyone does to u can pluck u from his hand...if its our time..its our time..lets all get together and see the big picture.

Matt D said...

Jason, one thing you should consider is when God comes again only the jews will have a second chance and not the gentiles which includes the Phill. And you cant establish another religion in Israel, its against the law. They only have 2 or 3, which is the Jews, Catholics, and possibly Muslims. But the Government wont allow any more, so it would b very difficult to keep anything alive, especialy since only Aydin and Grell could afford to stay over there.;).

Matt D said...

But i think the ultimate desision should be made by Pastor King. What ever he choses will be best, and if, in the event that we should all die of malaria in the Phill or of bombs on Israel, it'll be our time anyways, so better to die of that and be doing God's will ,then not doing God's and die of something humiliating in Calgary, like choking on a chicken bone!

Sara Rivas said...

Precisely Jason...Because Jerusalem has another chance and the Philippines dont thats just one more reason to go and win souls there instead of Jerusalem...I rest my case :0)

Matt D said...

never the less we should all be prayed through just incase someone misses their flight and is forced to die from swallowing a chicken bone here in Calgary.

j.elle said...

Comments from Bro. Jeff Mallory......

The last night was UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!To start off the day we split up...and went to different churches...I was to preach for Bro. Majaducon. He decided to have his service in the building we were having the crusade in. It's a good thing,..we had a little over 2000 for the sunday morning service. We had 69 receive the Holy Ghost this morning,....the intensity the Lord moved with is indescribable. What a move of the Lord!!!! They moved the service up till 6:00 this evening,...it rained really hard again,..we believed the Lord for it not to hurt our crowds......It didn't!!! The building was packed with what was estimated at 6000 people. The Holy Ghost moved on the crowd,.....there was too many to answer the altar call,....so they prayed where they were. We had 230 receive the Holy Ghost tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "Praise The Lord"!!!!! That was a total of 299 today alone,..and 483 total that we have documentation on. The Lord is soooo GOOD!!!!!


***Tell me who doesn't want to be a part of this?***

Jason said...

nah anh
ur not getin it
we can be a chance to start the PROPHESY of the NEW jerusalem!
we can start the way to messianic jews!
it aint gonna happen if we continue to save those in the same areas we have already been...we need to go OUTSIDE of our circle and reach out...not for the sake of where WE think it will be of greatest growth to the kingdom but where GOD wants us to go for the growth of his kingdom...
the jews just like the rest of the world have a "Second chance" after the rapture....but only if they havent accepted anything of false doctrines...we have to get to them NOW our time and theirs is runningout...how many times can u kick a dog while its down...flips have bin preached too...they have missionaries...but no one is trying to do GODS work in his PROMISED LAND...why!?!? this is ludacris ...we need to start tthe foundation...cause if we dont who will?

Jason said...

declare in Judah and PROCLAIM in JERUSALEM and say:
"Blow the trumpet in the land; Cry, 'gather together' and say 'assemble yourselves' and let us go into the fortified cities.' set up the standard toward zion take refuge! DO NOT DELAY! for i will bring disaster from the north and great destruction."
jer 4:5, 6
how can we wait and sit back and watch...

YPMARK....Peter? said...

We're all ears Pastor!

Jessica deLeeuw said...

I think I heard a whisper in the wind say Israel... :0)

Dj Norris said...

im with mark on this one

Matt D said...

Same here!

Marks Starlet said...

Hi... this makes comment 100

EstherH said...

This is all so confusing, I think we need to make it a point to pray over it often so that when the time comes to make the decision, it can be made in God's Will not by our own desires.... The arguments are so good on both sides...

Dj Norris said...

come on people... dont be shy :)

Matt D said...

I havent said anything, because I thought Pastor King had told us to shut up so he could say something...

Shad said...

107

Matt D said...

wuts 107?
And whats the vote count?

Matt D said...

Wuts happening??
