Over 10,000 college students filled the stands of a Texas arena this week to worship Jesus.

The free Unite US event happened Tuesday evening at Reed Arena in College Station, Texas.

Unite US is a movement of college students united to lift the name of Jesus. Tuesday's event closed off its fall semester tour. 

Maureen Anderson lost both her sons to their overseas service in the Canadian Army, even if they died years later and a continent away from the hot dust and violence of the Afghanistan war.

Growing up, Ron Anderson was more serious, “a little fighter,” his mother recalls. His younger brother Ryan was quieter, softer. Both joined the military before they finished high school, already certain of what their career paths would be.

“My boys were very kind to me, and I miss them terribly,” Anderson said in an interview this week from her home in Oromocto, N.B. 

Mounties have dismantled what they say is the largest, most sophisticated illicit drug "superlab" in Canada that had been acting as a "supermarket" for organized crime.

Methodist Missionary Chapel Canada has outgrown its current location at 18 Gillingham Avenue.

Rev. Bamidele Oni says, "We were looking for somewhere you can worship and focus on God. Where distraction can be removed, and for this reason, God gave us an opportunity and led us to a venue that we are moving to on Sunday. This location is big enough and we believe it is a prophetic space where God is giving us a big space to tell us that there are more people staying in the city that I want you to reach."

No hypocrisy, no competition. Wouldn't that be refreshing to live such a life? It all comes to those with a "renewed mind"...those who determine they are going to allow the Spirit of God to invade all those walls and towers, capturing the guards that have kept Him at arm's length all these years.

Carpets For Less has been going strong in Winnipeg for more than 20 years. Which is why, when Dale Vencatasamy assumed ownership and operations in July, he didn’t want to mess with a good thing. 

“Operations-wise, we really haven’t changed that much,” says Vencatasamy. “We still offer the same products, and the people who worked under the previous owners are still here.”
