Calgary. And, meanwhile, in Mexico . . .

, , 1

So we finished one of our busiest weekends of our time in Canada. We’re thankful for what the Lord has done, and thankful that my voice held out!

The Where did the Bible Come From? seminar went well (from my perspective) with about 30 people. We had some great conversations about Bible versions, the canon, how God preserved His Word – good times. It would be great to give the seminar again while we’re here – so let us know if you’re interested!

SCCEFC - Jim with translator GraceThen on Sunday we zipped around to three services, and I preached twice and shared thrice. That was at South Calgary Chinese Evangelical Free Church. An encouraging time, although it would have been nice to have more time with people. Maybe we’ll be able to stop by again.

I was very thankful for my brave translators, who did a great job!

But for now we’re heading to Saskatchewan for a while.

Meanwhile, in Mexico – well, first of all, in Russia, Mexico beat Germany in their first game at the World Cup! Yes, the goal did indeed “cause” an earthquake in Mexico. Indirectly.

Anyway, where was I? Ah yes. Meanwhile, in Mexico, the Mount Calvary Team had a great time of ministry, from what I heard! Check out a report at Rod’s blog – Mount Calvary June 2018

Continue to pray for Mexico as the national election draws near – less than two weeks now.

Between Ontario and Ontario

Northwestern Ontario

We’ve enjoyed some great times of ministry and blessing over the past few weeks.  Now we’re going to be taking a little time to spend with family, and to deal with some important errands (things like homeschool organizing, doctor’s appointments, etc).

We’ll be returning to Southern Ontario in about three and a half weeks, and then we’ll start the drive back to Mexico.

Just wanted to check in to let you know we’re still moving along (and to share with you a little Ontario scenery)! 🙂 Thanks so much for your prayers!

(By the way, I do have a few pictures from the first few weeks of our trip in our photo gallery – use the links at the top of our blog to check them out!)

Quick Trip Report (10 May 2014)

, , 0

As you may have guessed, I’ve had neither the time nor internet access to write a lot here!

But I thought I’d better report.

Nathanael, Hannah, and Uncle Francis

We’re all doing reasonably well, though pretty tired, and seem to be slowly getting over whatever bugs we had in April, although Nathanael still has a cough.  We’e been visiting various people all week, and just got back from seeing Shari’s uncle and aunt (with a bonus cousin thrown in) in Mount Forest (see the picture to the right – Hannah and Nathanael walking out to the pond with Uncle Francis this afternoon).

Tomorrow we’ll be visiting Garside Bible Church again, and then heading into another week of visiting all kinds of people in Southern Ontario.

It’s been good, although it’s also been unbelievably busy!  So we appreciate your prayers for our health and energy – may God use us to encourage someone this week.

Missionary Family Looking For Accommodation – hey, that’s us!

Update:  We have found a place to stay.   Thanks for your help!

Accommodation Wanted

Approximate Dates:
6 September to 9 November 2011
Approximate Location:
(see map)

We’re currently looking for a place to live for the time we’re in Alberta, for about 8 weeks.  We’re a family of four – two adults and two children (ages 7 and 10).  We’re looking for a place to ourselves, but a house sitting situation or an apartment would be fine.

We would prefer something south of Red Deer and north of Calgary.  We would consider something in Calgary too, if it worked out.

We would be happy to pay rent.  However, we also need to pay rent on our house in Mexico while we’re in Canada, so we can’t spend a huge amount.

If you know of anything that might be available, please contact Jim or Shari Cottrill.  Thanks! 😉

Coming up – A Visit to Canada (AB/SK)

6

Yes, that’s right – Lord willing we’re going to be visiting Canada!  This time it’s going to be the Alberta/Saskatchewan tour.

What you lookin' at?

 I wish we had time to visit everywhere, but we’ll thank the Lord for the opportunities we have.

When?  Well, at the moment it looks like we’ll be in Canada in August, September and October of this year (2011).

Why?  Well, it’s time to report back to so many people who are a part of this ministry.  It’s been five to eight years since we’ve seen many of you in SK and AB, and since we’ve been to many of your churches.

This will also be an opportunity to take care of a variety of practical matters.

We’ll talk more about this in the months to come.  There will have to be a lot of planning done ahead of time, so we’ll share more details once we know them.  🙂

We’re looking forward to seeing many of you face to face later this year!  Of course, you’re welcome to come visit us before then…. 😉
