Bringing Out Deep Waters Within Us Growing
in Self-Awareness and Leadership Capacity
Reflecting on how God created you and I is so
important as leaders One of the wisest dudes around
said ldquoThe purposes of a persons heart are deep
waters but one who has insight draws them outrdquo
Proverbs 205
In other words asking GREAT questions helps us to
bring out the ldquodeep watersrdquo within us to become
more intentional in self-awareness and personal
growth
Hundreds (if not thousands) of
people spend hundreds of
dollars on leadership coaching
and seminars to bring out the
ldquodeep watersrdquo within us
However in our secret place
with God and asking some great questions we can
grow in our leadership ability and capacity

4 What is most important to you in your life
Does your schedule reflect whats important Why
or why not
5 What are you leaving out of your life right now
Self-Care
1 How well do you take care of yourself
(scale of 1-10 10 being a professional trainer)
2 Are you exercising consistently
3 Are you eating healthy and well
4 What have you done for yourself lately
5 What lessons do you keep getting over and over
DrainsFills

3 Where are you going (Genesis 215-21)
4 What more can I give (Hebrews 23)

Assistant Superintendent Dave Solmes
Alone and Alive
As each year ends and a new one begins I search and
pray for verses that will provide spiritual themes for
me for the coming New Year In 2015 my verses all
deal with the practice of solitude
Judges 511 ldquoFar from the noise of archers in the places
of drawing water there shall they rehearse the righteous
acts of Jehovah even the righteous acts of his rule in Israel
Psalm 1167 ldquoReturn to your rest my soul for the LORD
has been good to yourdquo
Isaiah 123 ldquoWith joy you will draw water from the wells of salvationrdquo
The invitation from these verses is quite similar Take time alone for
remembering replenishment and rest There are times when being
alone is the best place to be The benefits when listed are invaluable
Solitude will
Reveal how you are really doing The quiet outside will reveal
the quiet or disquiet within
Help you discover what is most meaningful and important
The unexamined life is not worth living (Socrates)
Give you insight into your character Silence and prayer have a
way of revealing the truth about who you are This is critically
important because ultimately character not competency determines
your capacity
Give you energy Like exercise the discipline of solitude gives you
energy
Let you actually hear from God You can only really hear from
God when yoursquove slowed down enough to listen
Renew intimacy Intimacy isnrsquot possible in a rush True intimacy
(with people or with God) only happens when no onersquos in a hurry
Establish priorities Solitude accelerates clarity
Restore your soul If yoursquove lost your soul solitude will help you
find it
Finding solitude will only be possible if we make it a priority
Creating margin at the beginning or end of the day is a great place to
start A great place to finish is practising the discipline of solitude in the
midst of the ebb amp flow of each and every day

Every year March brings the ever-anticipated Tax Season It is our
desire to try our best to assist you past the paperwork and back into
the focus of ministry This month I have included only one very
important CRA change for clergy I am
available to provide further clarity to the
following or if there is any other way I
can help please feel free to contact me at
dpichettebcpaocorg or 604-533-2232
(office) May God bless you as you head
into this tax season once again
CRA T1223 amp T4 Slip Wording
CRA Change The Canada Revenue Agency has made a change
referring to combining ldquofair rental value and eligible utilitiesrdquo shown
in Box 30 of our T4s Many churches have already revised their
documents as the CRA recommended this prior to making the
official announcement The wording for Form T1223 Clergy
Residence Deduction as well as the T4 slip reporting has changed
tohellipldquoIf you received free accommodation andhelliputilities for a residence
that you did not own or rent the value of both is shown as a taxable
benefit in box 30 of your T4 slip Claim this amount as a deduction at
line 231 of your returnrdquo
The prior edition instructed the taxpayer that their CRD claim
was the T4rsquos box 30 amount (ie the fair rental value of the
employer-provided housing) plus ldquothe part of box 40 that
represents eligible utilitiesrdquo ndash which CRA defines in its
Interpretation Bulletin IT-141R (Consolidated) Clergy Residence
Deduction as ldquoamounts expended for services for electricity heating
(eg gas) and water and sewerrdquo (para 23)
The result of the change is that only the T4 sliprsquos box 30 is now
referenced and not box 40 However it is the combined fair
rental value and eligible utilities that make up the allowable CRD
claim amount in these cases Due to the change in the T1223
formrsquos wording and how information may have been set out in
the T4 the employee should exercise extra care to claim the
correct amount For employers who have not yet filed T4 slips
for 2014 there is an opportunity to ensure the combined fair
rental value and eligible utilities are shown in box 30
Clergy Housing Deduction amp Deductions at Source
Checklist Please be sure to have your job description and fair-
rental value prepared and ready to present to the CRA Some clergy
apply for Deductions at Source where you will need to submit your
job description and figure of fair rental with your application
Others will need to keep this on hand after claiming taxes if they do
not apply for Deduction at Source

The Power Was On At Emerge
An ice storm had knocked down many trees and power in the days
leading up to our weekend conference in Hope BC Thankfully the
power was restored the day before we arrived
Gods power was evident in our
midst as His Holy Spirit stirred many
hearts The weekend brought
together a dozen campuses from
across BC for our largest gathering
yet Author Mark Buchanan spoke
on the theme ldquoBe Still Be Holy
Be Dangerousrdquo Many students were inspired and challenged more
deeply in their relationship with Jesus Some students who are not yet
following Christ are still considering their decision and another student
came to faith over the weekend
Here is a challenge one student brought back for her campus group
ldquoWeve all emerged refreshed from our fantastic weekend at the retreat
The opportunity to refocus on God in such a beautiful place with such
beautiful people is an amazing blessing My prayer now is that we wont let
all that weve learned this weekend slip away but that well keep in the
forefront of our minds the importance of rest and taking the time for the
daily renewal of our pursuit of Gods love Let us be dangerous Let people
say of us lsquothese are those who have turned the world upside
downrsquo (Acts 176)rdquo
Every year we choose a global project at Emerge that students can
invest in We have supported new campus initiatives clean water and
this year to bless aspiring women leaders in
Africa God highlighted the value of women
throughout the weekend A breakout session
taught students the importance of women in
ministry A woman campus pastor was
showcased in another session The Zoe
Project was a God arranged fit for this year
Students gave a record Emerge offering to help
bring life to His precious daughters in Africa

BC Church Building Society Dave Ball
Little is MuchWhen God Is In It
In October 1950 a small group of PAOC laymen from Victoria saw a
need to assist local PAOC assemblies with local church building
projects With district endorsement Mr A D Bridges and Mr Ernie
Hudson established a small lending fund for capital projects
Over these past 65 years the fund has grown considerably and now
is able to offer loans to PAOC churches ranging from $10000 to
$100000 or more
These loans are secured either by a first mortgage or by the
personal guarantees of local church members Loans are arranged at
low interest and are repayable with regular monthly payments as
well as voluntary additional repayments at any time without penalty
If your assembly is considering renovations or major repairs you are
invited to contact the BCCBS for more information Our BCCBS
Secretary-Treasurer Rev Dave Ball will be happy to assist you or
provide further information (dlballbcgmailcom)
Children and Family
Caroline Durocher-Bergeron wwwcarolinebergeronca
Elevate is more than a conference itrsquos a time where children
preteen and family ministry leaders (including parents lay leaders
and pastors) across our nation come together with a united heart
and passion to raise up world changers and a generation of devoted
and courageous followers of Christ Every aspect of Elevate will
feature our theme Above and Beyond and stimulate our faith to
embrace this promise ldquoNow to Him who is able to do above and
beyond all that we ask or think according to the power that works in
usrdquo (Ephesians 320)
My desire is that in 2015 we will more than ever be connected to
the power of Christ that lives within us We serve a God who is
willing able and mighty to save and rescue this generation May He
stir our hearts and imaginations with the most infinite dreams so
that His glory may shine in our midst
Relax Be refreshed Get inspired Move forward
Elevate provides a space for worship knowing that our ultimate
inspiration comes from God and spending time in His presence
while listening to what He has to say is vital for moving forward
Elevate is also a beautiful convergence of inspiration and hands-on
learning Our learning labs will address some of the most relevant
topics and provide practical solutions to the challenges we face on a
weekly basis Throughout the weekend you will hear stories from
leaders just like you who have seen God move in incredible ways in
their ministry and breaking new ground for the Kingdom of God
God is at work in our nation and He is using kids and preteens in an
incredible and powerful way We are delighted to welcome
JumpStart3 David amp Beci Wakerley from Hillsong Church
Australia and Dr Alan Nelson from KidLead as our guest speakers
this year
Throughout the last couple of years we have heard countless
testimonies from those who attended the 2013 Elevate Conference
affirming that the event was beneficial to their leadership teams and
local ministries Visions were birthed friendships were deepened
and commitment to the ministry was renewed This is why we are
providing a cost effective way to bring your entire team of 10 or
more to Elevate Conference
This is a great opportunity to train and honour your volunteers
they will come home with fresh vision for their Calling and they will
be better equipped to journey with kids in their spiritual walk

tohellipldquoIf you received free accommodation andhelliputilities for a residence
that you did not own or rent the value of both is shown as a taxable
benefit in box 30 of your T4 slip Claim this amount as a deduction at
line 231 of your returnrdquo
The prior edition instructed the taxpayer that their CRD claim
was the T4rsquos box 30 amount (ie the fair rental value of the
employer-provided housing) plus ldquothe part of box 40 that
represents eligible utilitiesrdquo ndash which CRA defines in its
Interpretation Bulletin IT-141R (Consolidated) Clergy Residence
Deduction as ldquoamounts expended for services for electricity heating
(eg gas) and water and sewerrdquo (para 23)
The result of the change is that only the T4 sliprsquos box 30 is now
referenced and not box 40 However it is the combined fair
rental value and eligible utilities that make up the allowable CRD
claim amount in these cases Due to the change in the T1223
formrsquos wording and how information may have been set out in
the T4 the employee should exercise extra care to claim the
correct amount For employers who have not yet filed T4 slips
for 2014 there is an opportunity to ensure the combined fair
rental value and eligible utilities are shown in box 30
Clergy Housing Deduction amp Deductions at Source
Checklist Please be sure to have your job description and fair-
rental value prepared and ready to present to the CRA Some clergy
apply for Deductions at Source where you will need to submit your
job description and figure of fair rental with your application
Others will need to keep this on hand after claiming taxes if they do
not apply for Deduction at Source

The Power Was On At Emerge
An ice storm had knocked down many trees and power in the days
leading up to our weekend conference in Hope BC Thankfully the
power was restored the day before we arrived
Gods power was evident in our
midst as His Holy Spirit stirred many
hearts The weekend brought
together a dozen campuses from
across BC for our largest gathering
yet Author Mark Buchanan spoke
on the theme ldquoBe Still Be Holy
Be Dangerousrdquo Many students were inspired and challenged more
deeply in their relationship with Jesus Some students who are not yet
following Christ are still considering their decision and another student
came to faith over the weekend
Here is a challenge one student brought back for her campus group
ldquoWeve all emerged refreshed from our fantastic weekend at the retreat
The opportunity to refocus on God in such a beautiful place with such
beautiful people is an amazing blessing My prayer now is that we wont let
all that weve learned this weekend slip away but that well keep in the
forefront of our minds the importance of rest and taking the time for the
daily renewal of our pursuit of Gods love Let us be dangerous Let people
say of us lsquothese are those who have turned the world upside
downrsquo (Acts 176)rdquo
Every year we choose a global project at Emerge that students can
invest in We have supported new campus initiatives clean water and
this year to bless aspiring women leaders in
Africa God highlighted the value of women
throughout the weekend A breakout session
taught students the importance of women in
ministry A woman campus pastor was
showcased in another session The Zoe
Project was a God arranged fit for this year
Students gave a record Emerge offering to help
bring life to His precious daughters in Africa

BC Church Building Society Dave Ball
Little is MuchWhen God Is In It
In October 1950 a small group of PAOC laymen from Victoria saw a
need to assist local PAOC assemblies with local church building
projects With district endorsement Mr A D Bridges and Mr Ernie
Hudson established a small lending fund for capital projects
Over these past 65 years the fund has grown considerably and now
is able to offer loans to PAOC churches ranging from $10000 to
$100000 or more
These loans are secured either by a first mortgage or by the
personal guarantees of local church members Loans are arranged at
low interest and are repayable with regular monthly payments as
well as voluntary additional repayments at any time without penalty
If your assembly is considering renovations or major repairs you are
invited to contact the BCCBS for more information Our BCCBS
Secretary-Treasurer Rev Dave Ball will be happy to assist you or
provide further information (dlballbcgmailcom)

Elevate is more than a conference itrsquos a time where children
preteen and family ministry leaders (including parents lay leaders
and pastors) across our nation come together with a united heart
and passion to raise up world changers and a generation of devoted
and courageous followers of Christ Every aspect of Elevate will
feature our theme Above and Beyond and stimulate our faith to
embrace this promise ldquoNow to Him who is able to do above and
beyond all that we ask or think according to the power that works in
usrdquo (Ephesians 320)
My desire is that in 2015 we will more than ever be connected to
the power of Christ that lives within us We serve a God who is
willing able and mighty to save and rescue this generation May He
stir our hearts and imaginations with the most infinite dreams so
that His glory may shine in our midst
Relax Be refreshed Get inspired Move forward
Elevate provides a space for worship knowing that our ultimate
inspiration comes from God and spending time in His presence
while listening to what He has to say is vital for moving forward
Elevate is also a beautiful convergence of inspiration and hands-on
learning Our learning labs will address some of the most relevant
topics and provide practical solutions to the challenges we face on a
weekly basis Throughout the weekend you will hear stories from
leaders just like you who have seen God move in incredible ways in
their ministry and breaking new ground for the Kingdom of God
God is at work in our nation and He is using kids and preteens in an
incredible and powerful way We are delighted to welcome
JumpStart3 David amp Beci Wakerley from Hillsong Church
Australia and Dr Alan Nelson from KidLead as our guest speakers
this year
Throughout the last couple of years we have heard countless
testimonies from those who attended the 2013 Elevate Conference
affirming that the event was beneficial to their leadership teams and
local ministries Visions were birthed friendships were deepened
and commitment to the ministry was renewed This is why we are
providing a cost effective way to bring your entire team of 10 or
more to Elevate Conference

(office) May God bless you as you head
into this tax season once again
CRA T1223 amp T4 Slip Wording
CRA Change The Canada Revenue Agency has made a change
referring to combining ldquofair rental value and eligible utilitiesrdquo shown
in Box 30 of our T4s Many churches have already revised their
documents as the CRA recommended this prior to making the
official announcement The wording for Form T1223 Clergy
Residence Deduction as well as the T4 slip reporting has changed
tohellipldquoIf you received free accommodation andhelliputilities for a residence
that you did not own or rent the value of both is shown as a taxable
benefit in box 30 of your T4 slip Claim this amount as a deduction at
line 231 of your returnrdquo
The prior edition instructed the taxpayer that their CRD claim
was the T4rsquos box 30 amount (ie the fair rental value of the

referenced and not box 40 However it is the combined fair
rental value and eligible utilities that make up the allowable CRD
claim amount in these cases Due to the change in the T1223

correct amount For employers who have not yet filed T4 slips
for 2014 there is an opportunity to ensure the combined fair
rental value and eligible utilities are shown in box 30
Clergy Housing Deduction amp Deductions at Source
Checklist Please be sure to have your job description and fair-
rental value prepared and ready to present to the CRA Some clergy
apply for Deductions at Source where you will need to submit your
job description and figure of fair rental with your application

BC Church Building Society Dave Ball
Little is MuchWhen God Is In It
In October 1950 a small group of PAOC laymen from Victoria saw a
need to assist local PAOC assemblies with local church building
projects With district endorsement Mr A D Bridges and Mr Ernie
Hudson established a small lending fund for capital projects
Over these past 65 years the fund has grown considerably and now
is able to offer loans to PAOC churches ranging from $10000 to
$100000 or more
These loans are secured either by a first mortgage or by the
personal guarantees of local church members Loans are arranged at
low interest and are repayable with regular monthly payments as
well as voluntary additional repayments at any time without penalty
If your assembly is considering renovations or major repairs you are
invited to contact the BCCBS for more information Our BCCBS
Secretary-Treasurer Rev Dave Ball will be happy to assist you or
provide further information (dlballbcgmailcom)
Children and Family
Caroline Durocher-Bergeron wwwcarolinebergeronca
Elevate is more than a conference itrsquos a time where children
preteen and family ministry leaders (including parents lay leaders
and pastors) across our nation come together with a united heart
and passion to raise up world changers and a generation of devoted
and courageous followers of Christ Every aspect of Elevate will
feature our theme Above and Beyond and stimulate our faith to
embrace this promise ldquoNow to Him who is able to do above and
beyond all that we ask or think according to the power that works in
usrdquo (Ephesians 320)
My desire is that in 2015 we will more than ever be connected to
the power of Christ that lives within us We serve a God who is
willing able and mighty to save and rescue this generation May He
stir our hearts and imaginations with the most infinite dreams so
that His glory may shine in our midst
Relax Be refreshed Get inspired Move forward
Elevate provides a space for worship knowing that our ultimate
inspiration comes from God and spending time in His presence
while listening to what He has to say is vital for moving forward
Elevate is also a beautiful convergence of inspiration and hands-on
learning Our learning labs will address some of the most relevant
topics and provide practical solutions to the challenges we face on a
weekly basis Throughout the weekend you will hear stories from
leaders just like you who have seen God move in incredible ways in
their ministry and breaking new ground for the Kingdom of God
God is at work in our nation and He is using kids and preteens in an
incredible and powerful way We are delighted to welcome
JumpStart3 David amp Beci Wakerley from Hillsong Church
Australia and Dr Alan Nelson from KidLead as our guest speakers
this year
Throughout the last couple of years we have heard countless
testimonies from those who attended the 2013 Elevate Conference
affirming that the event was beneficial to their leadership teams and
local ministries Visions were birthed friendships were deepened
and commitment to the ministry was renewed This is why we are
providing a cost effective way to bring your entire team of 10 or
more to Elevate Conference
This is a great opportunity to train and honour your volunteers
they will come home with fresh vision for their Calling and they will
be better equipped to journey with kids in their spiritual walk
