After a Bajillion Years, WinkCity is FINALLY Getting a Skatepark [click here]
It has to be close to a decade that my friends Eric and Phil have been working to build our City a permanent skatepark. Honestly I was starting to think it was never going to happen, after so many rumors it was becoming somewhat of a myth. I am SO stoked, and we are SO blessed, to have a team like theirs that is so dedicated to the community!
God bless you dudes. I can’t wait to see what comes next :)
If you live in Winkler, MB and enjoy a good pedal…
The organization I work with (The Bunker) has teamed up with my friends cafe (Jonny’s Java) and a local business (Country Cycle) to start what we hope will become a great way to unite the community, promote healthy living, and endorse homegrown economy!
Starting this summer (most likely June) we will be hosting different weekly events for any/all cyclists. Your range, goal, and ability doesn’t matter; the idea being that you and a friend join up…meet new people…and pedal alongside others that are on the same level as you.
Right now it’s being put together mainly by myself and my friend Jeff (same name!) off the groups Facebook Page. So if you have any questions about dates, riding times, membership, etc. contact us individually or leave a comment on the Groups Wall.

Leave some questions for me to answer in the next video [here]
My first project as a Youth Pastor…
Is to start an adults-only night at work haha!For real though this is something I’ve been wanting to start for a few months now, and I’m really excited to get it off the ground so quickly. This isn’t a move to push out young people from our ministry, it’s a step in the direction of making us more of a community center and less like every other youth program that you can attend in any one of the many churches in WinkCity.
This way, we’re able to walk with someone starting in Grade 6 all the way through to the age of 40.
Don’t think of it as an offset of a youth program; this is an alternative for adults who don’t want to sit in a bar/lounge or coffeeshop.
We offer floor hockey/indoor basketball, billiards, netcafe, arcade, occasional live music, nice flat screens to watch your favorite sporting event, and tons of room to relax with friends…all for FREE!
THE BUNKER: RE-OPENING PARTY
Here’s a taste of the new location. Big thanks to VoV, the other amazing bands, the B’s baking team, Domino’s, and everyone who came to show support!
If you’re wanting to see more footage, you’ll have to pickup the Memorial DVD when it’s released later this year!
RE-OPENING: The Morning After

I forgot how awesome it feels to sleep in the morning after a concert at theB. Voice still horse from having to shout over the bands. Feel sore from running around. Coffee tasting like heaven after staying up til 4AM.
Nothing went wrong last night. And I can’t believe how many lovely faces showed up to support us (thank you). I hope people had fun, and I hope people take advantage of this new place to socialize in WinkCity. We’re open everyday, in some capacity, so come down and bring some friends.
1. Outside looking in our new loading door
2. Allagarth shredding the stage at our first concert
3. Entrance into our new game-room
4. Thanks Domino’s for making our stomachs happy (again)
Only 4 days away! I thought since everyone’s been so patient with waiting for renovations, and putting up with all my updates, that I’d give you a little sneakpeak at the future of our ministry…

10 years of praying, 2 years of planning, 6 months of working, all for you.

MY WEEKEND on IG
I got to spend the last two days soaking up the sun, on my bike, with a babe, eating great food and getting tattooed!
AMU dropped some new tracks the other night.
Now without a DJ, still just as fresh!
Jonny’s Java: The First Store
Not a lot of JJ fans know that there have been previous “locations” where one could grab a cup (or bag) of bean and/or leaf water.
I remember, years ago, having to go directly to ol’ Jon’s house. His closet would be stocked high with bags of coffee beans that had been roasted in Winnipeg. After Andy joined the team they had a mini-kitchen setup in his basement, where my friends and I would often spend weekends watching movies and sampling different drinks.
The mall store marked several occasions; the “legitimacy” of the company, the fruition of a dream, and start of a town-wide movement. Since it’s opening I’ve had remarkable conversations with WinkCity dwellers whose idea of what the City should “be” have…grown up…would be the best way to describe it.
I’m making a big deal about it, because these are some of my oldest friends. And while this chapter of their lives has closed to focus on another, their success in it means a lot to me!
Check out more photos from the opening/closing [here]
