Here's What We're Coming Up To

Our sister-in-law, Melissa, forwarded an article to us from Christianity Today.  Her cousin's cousin wrote the article about Quebec. 

Melissa writes..."Jerad & Wanda, you already know it, but this is what you are coming to!  Gets me chocked up everytime.  Definately worth reading."

Missions Conferences

We thank God for all of the fruitful and refreshing missions conferences we’ve been involved in this Spring…here’s a brief update on each one:

·         In March, Jerad, Gabriel and our Senior Pastor, Doug Bozung, traveled to Montreal to speak at Grace Church of Lasalle – the church we will be working at in Canada. It was a real blessing to show Pastor Doug where we’ll be ministering and to whom we’ll be working alongside.

·         Also in March, we enjoyed being at Calvary Monument Bible Church in Paradise, PA.  The week-long conference was so well-organized and allowed us to speak to so many different age groups. 

·         In April, we were invited to speak at our church, Christian Fellowship Church in New Holland for our annual missions conference.  It was especially rewarding to visit with missionaries who inspired us over the years – to hear their valuable advice and to learn from them.

More Opportunites



We praise God for giving us so many opportunities recently to share our passion for the lost in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. While visiting Montreal with our niece, Brittany, we were able to speak at two Sunday morning services at People’s Church – another great church in downtown Montreal.

We spoke to the 1^st-4^th graders at our church in April and in May, we will be doing a special chapel for the Kindergarten-5^th graders at Gabriel and Morgan’s school, Lancaster County Christian School (Leola Campus).

Do you have a moving date?

The quick answer to that question is “Not yet, but we’re working on it!” We’re singing in our good friend’s wedding in the beginning of August, so we will probably wait until the middle of August to make the move to Montreal.

Prayer Requests

1.   Housing: Here and There

·         We’re leaning towards renting out our home here in PA, but haven’t finalized that yet. Continue to pray regarding housing in Montreal – it’s very expensive living in the city, but that’s where the people are and that’s where we’d like to live.

2.    Support

·         Jerad will finish his full-time job at Pennsylvania Counseling Services in May.  In a step of faith, we’re trusting God will bring in the remaining 20% of our needed support as we long to be on the mission field by the end of this summer.

3.    Transition

·         We covet your prayers for us as we will soon finish up the school year – Wanda will need to pack up her personal classroom items by June 7 – that will be an emotional time!

Did you know?

The city of Montreal is increasingly drifting away from God and marginalizing an absolute Creator at an alarming rate. There is a complete lack of moral awareness and consciousness among Montrealers and opposition to the Gospel has never been more apparent.

 We look forward to…

·       Evangelize the lost

·       Disciple believers

·       Train leaders on the island of Montreal in Lasalle

“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Matthew 28:19-20

Visiting a Catholic Church

All of the statues were covered with material for Easter week - this was something new we learned - they uncover the statues on Easter Sunday....to reveal Jesus still on the cross....this is VERY different from what we believe - JESUS IS ALIVE!

In Little Italy, this Catholic Church is called Church of the Madonna della Difesa...depicts Benito Mussolini

Still have Christ on the cross

No need for the confessional - we have direct access to the PRIEST of ALL PRIESTS
