I’m just about ready to pack the car with our gear for part 2 of 2000 Years of Missions, the seminar that we’re presenting tonight at First Evangelical Free Church in Calgary. If we haven’t been able to see you yet, and you’re in the area, I hope you’ll come! 7:00pm tonight. 😊
We would appreciate your prayers for the seminar tonight, as I have been somewhat sick the last couple of days, so I need energy.
We had a very active weekend – kind of ridiculous, actually – but we had some great visits with people, and got some details worked out for Nathanael’s school, and a good time of ministry in Cremona.
Actually, I had the neat opportunity to pray for the Reddekopp family as they prepare for future ministry in Mexico – praise the Lord!
Praying for the Reddekopps in CremonaAnd – Hannah was able to join us for the weekend! Yay! Now she’s back with her class – on a bike trip in Drumheller. 🚴â€â™€ï¸
Next weekend we’ll be together again, actually. We’ll be serving at Innisfail Baptist Church. Be sure to come and hear about what God is doing in Mexico! The service starts at 10:30am.
We do appreciate your prayer for our ministry over the next few days. Also, please continue to pray for our coworker who has been healing from cancer treatment, but is still greatly struggling with health issues. She ended up in the hospital again today – she’s doing all right, but please pray that she would be encouraged (her family too!), and that God would continue to bring her healing.
10 years ago this month we were having a very patriotic time in Mexico City! It was a part of our orientation time, and Shari and I went to see the Ballet Folklórico, and spent some time exploring downtown Mexico City.
We even got some pictures of the lowing of the flag, right in the zocalo (main downtown square). Here you go…
And here’s a close-up of the above, showing the soldiers doing their job:
If it’s raining, or if there’s a chance of rain, the flag won’t be raised or lowered. The reason being, the flag gets far too heavy to handle – I’m sure you can see why!

In the past 48 hours or so, someone in the family has been out for lab tests or a doctor’s appointment four times. Two of those before 8am. Everyone is healthy, as far as we know so far! Just routine tests. Of course, that kind of routine can make you tired and sick! 😀
Enjoying the sunrise on the way to a doctor’s appointment.Don’t worry, it hasn’t been all bad, as we continue with ministry here in Canada. I enjoyed giving part 1 of 2000 Years of Missions this past Tuesday in Calgary. Quite a few people were kind enough to come, even though it was the day after Labour Day. Part 2 is on the 11th, so hopefully some people who missed part 1 will be out then.
Oh, by the way – if you’re in the Calgary area and you’re interested in coming on Tuesday, please do! If you would like, you can also join us for a prayer meeting before the seminar – at 6pm. If you can’t, no worries, just come at 7pm for the seminar itself.
But of course what everyone really wants to know is – how is Hannah doing? 🙂
Well, you can ask her for the real story, but she seems to be doing well. Today is day #4 of classes in grade 11 at Prairie Christian Academy, and she’s gradually getting her schedule figured out and getting used to where to go when. Lord willing we’ll be seeing her on the weekend.
So what’s coming up besides all this? Well, more errands and general work to do, yes – more doctors’ appointments. And getting Nathanael ready for school – another priority. So yes – as disjointed as all this sounds, we are indeed keeping busy in Canada.
