We might not be as unusual as the Jamaican bobsled team, and I am pretty sure none of us can pull off a 6.0 in figure skating, but we are thrilled to be part of a larger team working with "More than Gold" and local churches to see the power of Jesus change lives through the vehicle of the Olympic games (morethangold.ca).  The twenty-three members of our group will be working specifically with community festivals and refreshment stations during the first 10 days of the games.  We are also collecting items to pass out to the homeless in Vancouver and Chilliwack.  You can contribute to both HRA Winter Break teams by accessing the lists posted at school and on our website.  Do you believe?  We sure do.  We believe that Christ can transform our local communities as we work toward the goal of making Jesus known during the Olympics.  Whenever you see an Olympic commercial, a news item, or some other related item, would you remember to pray for our team?  We want to be part of that transforming power of Jesus during this outreach, and we know that as we give of ourselves, our lives will be transformed in the process.
