The Journey
Dear Family and Friends,
For those of you who don‟t
know , we‟re in Canada. In
October of last year Dana
found out Novaland, the
afterschool program she
had worked at for the past
couple of years, was being
closed down. Due to that
being a fast approaching
reality, we started to pray.
The Forceformation
the body through different
topics He has laid on our
hearts as well as ministry
through worship and the
fine arts. We knew He had
been telling us to get ready
throughout the year and the
next step He was calling us
into was going to be a walk
of faith. Now was the time
He was having us step into
that. We only knew what
He had asked of us for
He has called us to exhorta-
tion, worship and outreach
ministry. We believe it is
important to His heart to be
available to minister wher-
ever and to whomever the
Lord leads us to but we
will be based out of Can-
ada. God has been so faith-
ful to us through this whole
journey and we are excited
to see how He will lead
through this adventurous

“Lord, what do you want
us to do.” Through many
different confirmations
(listed below in next sec-
tion) the Lord showed us
He wanted us to go back to
Canada for 2-3 months.
While here we were to visit
family we hadn‟t seen in
almost 3 years and also
begin a ministry He had
laid on our hearts 10 years
ago. This ministry is to be a
ministry of exhortation to
these 2-3 months but would time. He truly is a FAITH-
wait until He was ready to FUL God!!
show the next step after
that.
As we have prayed, while
in Canada, we have felt the
Lord say, through various
confirmations again, that
we are called to Canada for
this chapter and will re-
main here until He shows
us otherwise. Even
now we feel that The Muskokas — cottage country — beautiful …
and yet hungry for hope, desperate for Jesus.

Confirmations given by God for the Journey

 When praying about an opportunity at a church on the Eastern side of the States, the Lord told us “Do
you want to go back to Egypt?”

 There were two more times the Lord shared this same line with us: 1. our pastor gave a “Word from
God” to “someone” in the congregation about the Lord saying “Do you want to go back to
Egypt?”...looking right into our section. 2. Another pastor we follow gave a “Word from God” to some-
one watching from home about not going back to Egypt.

 Rory was out helping a friend at a local food bank when he all of a sudden heard a booming voice say
“GOD WILL PROVIDE!” He looked over and saw, ironically the speaker was “homeless” , a man
looking right at him. The man then continued on his way. Our reluctance was about finances at the time.

 Rory went to a church service one night to hear about a certain topic . Instead it was about “getting out
of the boat” and walking in what God has called you to do and to stop avoiding it.

 We told God we would do this ministry but asked Him to first show the provision. The next Sunday our
pastor shared on God‟s call into ministry and said “We sometimes say „God I will do it if you first pro-
vide the finances‟ but God sometimes says „First step out and obey and then I will provide the finances.‟”

 Dana then felt led to pray for a rent free or mort-
gage free situation to come since God was calling
us into a faith walk. She prayed for the answer to
come by the following Sunday. The very next
Sunday, we were talking to Rory‟s sister, Dottie,
who lives in Canada and she told us of being
woken up in the night with us on her mind and
felt led to ask if we would like to stay with them,
rent free for a time.

RORY AND DANA FORCE
As we have looked at how this ministry would work and have prayed for God’s
leading, we decided to send out a prayer/support letter. We really feel the Lord
has called us to “such a time as this.” We need the freedom to minister anywhere
the Lord calls us to without financial needs getting in the way. Some places might
not be able to support us when we minister to them but we must be able to minister
regardless. We cannot say “no” based on finances — we simply do not see Jesus
in that.. This is where you can help and be part of His call to reach others for

Christ or minister for the biblical health of Christ’s body. So much of the church,
in these times, is in such need of Christ-likeness. Also, people are dying without
knowing Jesus daily so God’s timetable for relevant ministry is now as we see His
“day approaching and speed its coming.” Christ-likeness in His people is directly
related to the gospel’s good standing and the harvest (Titus 2). We need your help
everyone. We need faithful, careful and obedient prayer partners for if God’s
not the builder the labor is in vain.. We also need people faithfully working with
us financially so we can minister without monetary hindrance or distraction. We
would greatly appreciate your help! Please, do ask the Lord to guide your in-
volvement with us. Scriptural precedence for co-laboring and its worth to you is
in Prov. 19:17 and 2 Cor. 8:3-4;9:5-13 and Matthew 10:41 and Gal. 6:9-10. As
He leads, please, adore Him and lovingly, obey Him… regardless. Thank you. As
you stand before Him, looking into His eyes — you’ll never regret it.

What’s Been Happening in Canada?

It has been an amazing 3 months in Can-
ada. We had a great trip up. It took us 7
days this time. The longest trip yet. God
was so faithful and gave us AMAZING
weather the whole way. Places that had
over a foot of snow the week before, had
no snow when we drove through or
stopped over for the night. We were able
to wear summer like shoes in the begin-
ning of March, in States that we should
have still needed snow wear for common
weather at that time of year.
We have had many chances to “plug in”
to needs here and share the love of Jesus
with those who need it badly. Just as Fa-
ther had asked of us. The Lord said there
were people in despair up here who
needed encouragement. That‟s one of the
reasons He was sending us. God has been
so good to give us the privilege of pour-
ing into people‟s lives in such “hands on”
ways. It is plain to see, in each case, a
divine appointment .. the very thumbprint
of God.
Dana was a part of a women‟s Bible
Study with ladies from various local de-
nominations. It was a powerful time and
she got the chance to share some of the
things that God has been showing her.
She was also able to share songs of wor-
ship the Lord has given her not only at
the Study but other places as well.
Rory has been meeting with local pastors
concerning their church‟s needs. The
needs are assorted, ranging from rela-
tional and prayer support for pastors,
plugging in - one on one - with adults,
sharing at a men‟s group and even some
young adult and youth needs are starting
to arise. Rory has also been working on a
purity package for men and pouring into
people who “happen” across his way.
One such person was an international
bicyclist going across Canada.
Every Friday, we as an entire family,
volunteer at the local food bank called
“The Table.” This is a ministry that min-
isters through a food bank as well as a
soup-kitchen that feeds many families in
town two nights per week. Dana‟s been
providing worship music throughout the
day, on Fridays, as well as praying with
people and helping with logistical things
at different times. She also has served at
the soup kitchen once per month.
Rory helps logistically as well as praying
with people and sharing the faith. The
kids have even gotten involved by help-
ing to re-stock and clean shelves.
They‟ve even gotten in there and prayed
for people as well. It has truly been a
family ministry and there‟s been good
fruit from the prayer times.
The Lord has blessed us to have the op-
portunity to pour into people‟s lives in a
very relevant way and we have really
seen His hand in having us here at this
time. It‟s been wonderful and we marvel
at His perfect timing and His careful
grace with which He walks us through all
that He has placed before us .
We TRULY serve an AWESOME GOD!
El RO‟I — the God Who sees me ... you.
