Mission teams!

May 2010

This was the month of mission teams!!! We are so grateful to have so many who are willing to give time and money to come and help us with different tasks. For the last several weeks we have had a team of 27 students from Hannibal LaGrange college. These dynamic students have helped us prayer walk and collect demographic information for nearly all of the University and College campuses in the Vancouver area. No small task! We are using the information to put together a website www.bccampusministry.org - you will have to check it out. It will give everyone a good idea of the need in our city for churches and campus ministry. We have so many campuses with no Christian witness - no church in the neighbourhood - and great need. It has been exciting sending the students out in teams and having them return with stories of the people they have met. They have met Christian faculty who have been waiting - praying for people who will be willing to come and start a work on campus. We are so grateful that these students have gone and found the people of peace who we can connect with.

These students are almost all from smaller towns....the city has been quite a stretching experience for many of them! We always pray that when a team like this comes up, there will be a few who are willing to return and invest their lives. This prayer has been answered already - one young woman who is seeking the Lord about moving here to help with ESL ministries. We have another young man, Tony, who has committed to staying here the next six months and helping with ministry on on of our major campuses. Praise God for the work He has in store for these!

On a more personal note, many of you have been praying for me and my health concerns. Unfortunately, I have had another episode of intestinal illness. Fortunately, I have a fantastic doctor who continues to work to figure out what the issue is. She has sent me to a specialist who has run a lot of tests, and has scheduled more. Some of these procedures have very long wait times - with appointments being made for next December. The doctor felt that things were serious enough that she is having all of the tests done within the next 6 weeks. I am so grateful for our good medical care here in Canada!

PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR MY HEALTH.

PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY THAT GOD WILL RAISE UP LEADERS FOR STUDENT MINISTRY IN VANCOUVER.

PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY THAT EVERY DAY WE, AS A FAMILY, WILL WALK CLOSELY WITH OUR FATHER - ALLOWING HIM TO REVEAL THE PLANS HE HAS FOR US.
