My thoughts on God, Ministry and Life in General.

New Beginnings

2011-06-29T21:08:00.000-07:00

I find it slightly ironic that my last post on this blog was about three years ago highlighting how lovely Ambrose University College and Seminary has become. I guess it is fitting that I should include a picture of Ambrose’s new Residence and Education centre:

This is a new change for Ambrose as it is beginning its fourth year in this campus with additional space for students to live on campus and extra classroom space.

Likewise, my life is also going through change. Mostly importantly, I have graduated! I am done my seminary degree and my entire Ambrose experience.

I hope to resume posting regularly. This blog will undergo minor design changes, but the purpose of this blog will still remain as an outlet of my thoughts and on God, ministry and life. Stay tuned for more updates.

The Official Opening Ceremony

Last Saturday and Sunday were filled with fun events at the school.

Cool. Very Cool.

Come visit Ambrose!

This is where I live. At least for the next 6 months of my life.

The guys live on the left side and the gals live on the right. Each floor has its own common area.

The common areas look like this:

Some will be neater and some will be messier.

A Brief Tour of Ambrose (Part 2)

2008-10-24T15:04:00.001-07:00

The following is a picture tour of my school. It is my hope that you will be encouraged at what God is doing with Ambrose University College and I do hope that you will remember all the students who attend this school. Special thanks goes to Wes Campbell for providing many of the following pictures. You can probably tell which pictures I took.

Both day and night pictures of the school logo.

Panorama shot of the school.

Close up of the "Breeze Way". Library is to the left of this picture while reception and administration are to the right.

Inside the library. The Ambrose shield is displayed as you entered into the library.

Another view. This time from the circulation desk. (If you zoom into the picture, you will notice that they are signing media release forms for this picture.)

Students studying...sortof.

Another view of the library....lots of books!

The new library uses compact shelving to store more books in less space. It is very easy to move the shelves to get the books.

A few more shots of the breezeway. The building does not connect to the library, so this is the only entrance for someone who wants to go into the library.

To the other part of the building!

Left is administration and right is the reception.

Left: Classroom. Middle: Cafeteria. Right: Lobby.

A lobby shot. Above is the fish symbol. (More in just a minute)

A few shots of the cafeteria.

Leaving the cafe and going to the other part of the school.

This is a place where students can hang out and receive announcements on incoming events.

The other side of the hallway contains our mailboxes and a pool table.

Also in this area is our gym.

The gym is where we currently hold our chapels, special lectures and of course sports events.

On the upper level of courtyard link, we have a music department.

There are many classrooms here. In addition, there are also many practice rooms.

The upper level of the courtyard link looks almost the same, where students can hang out.

I think it speaks for itself.

The fish symbol. Left are the stairs to the lobby. Right is a biology lab and computer lounge.

Inside the computer lounge AKA Info Commons.

The offices on the left side near the end of the fish are the student services available to all students. These offices include the chapel coordinator, student financial aid, the VP of student development, resident directors, career development, learning services and counseling.

This is above the library. The stain glass window that you see in the middle is the prayer room.

Closeup shot of the prayer room.

Various shots of faculty offices.

Coming back from the faculty offices, you will see the tail of the fish symbol.

That is it for now! Next time is a tour of the residence.

A Very Brief History of My School: Ambrose (Part 1)

2008-10-06T13:12:00.001-07:00

Some of you may be familiar that I attend a Bible College in Calgary. And some of you may be wondering "What is the school name again?" Well, when I first came down to Calgary, the school was called Canadian Bible College and they had a partnership with Nazarene University College. Then in January of that first year, the school was officially called Alliance University College and Nazarene University College. Finally, last year AUC/NUC merged and called themselves Ambrose University College. Some of you might need some visual pictures so here:

Changed to

So there you have it. My school in all of its names during my attendance. This year, I am back at the school which has another name to it:

My school has moved from the downtown campus to its permanent location in SW Calgary. It is so new that even Google Maps at the time of writing this blog, does not have our location.

There you have it, a brief introduction to my school. Stay tune for part 2 where I will show you pictures of my school.

The First Post

Although I have blogged many times on a huge variety of topics, this blog is primarily written to tell you about my thoughts on God, Ministry and Life in General. I hope as you read the posts that will come up here, you will learn more about who I am and what God is doing in my life.
