Thank you for your prayers – we really sense people praying for us! We have much to update you on...God is so good.
This summer we had the privilege of being the “Missionaries of the Week” during the 1st week of the 2-week annual Bible camp at Rawlinsville Camp Meeting. Wanda’s co-worker has attended the camp all her life and was instrumental in giving us this opportunity. We shared our missionary plans to so many that week: preschool children, elementary children, Jr./Sr. High school students, college-aged students, and adults.
Speaking at Rawlinsville allowed us to share our heart for Montreal to people of many different Bible churches in the area.
A week later, we were invited back to Greenview Bible Camp in Fivepointville to speak with the campers. The camp director, Steve Rohrbaugh, wants to partner with us…He wants to send campers to Montreal to assist us in the work and in return, we would send youth from Montreal to GBC to experience a Christian camp in rural America. We are thrilled at this potential partnership!
Also in August, Jerad was invited to speak at Waldheim Park in Allentown. He enjoyed sharing his heart with a small Bible study hosted by one of his close friends.
Later in August, we spoke at Calvary Monument Bible Church in Paradise.
In September, we spoke during the entire Sunday morning worship service at Bethesda United Methodist in Holtwood.
In October, we were invited to speak in Morgan’s 2nd grade class at Lancaster County Christian School about our ministry plans. Her classmates were so attentive and receptive. It was a
joy to be there!
Also in October, Jerad was asked to speak at Rawlinsville’s Fall Fest event. His audience was middle school and high school young ladies. While there, we got to interact with people we had met at camp there this summer. It was another wonderful experience!
That same weekend, we were asked to speak at all 3 Sunday morning worship services at Wesley United Methodist.
God has been so gracious with us and has given us many opportunities to share our heart for God, missions and Montreal. We praise God for each opportunity and are excited about getting on the mission field next summer, Lord willing.
In the meantime, we are enjoying every moment at our home church, Christian Fellowship Church, and making precious memories with our American family and friends.
It won’t be easy to leave the comforts of home, family, friends, work and school, but sensing your prayers already is calming our nerves about our future transition to Canada. We praise God for you and your partnership!
THANK YOU!
Praise!
We continue to be encouraged and truly blessed by new ministry partners each month. If our math is correct, we’re just about at the 50% mark of our financial support. As we near the one-year mark of actively raising support, we are very humbled at the outpouring of support.
Pray!
We are still in need of prayer supporters. We covet your prayers!
