Over Christmas Hannah and Nathanael put together a puppet show, with home made puppets and everything!
They performed it twice, and we had our wits about us the second time and recorded it. Here it is, for your edification…
It’s been a while since I’ve done a podcast, so here is a little bit of news about family, churches, and new outreaches.

We’ve been having a good time and a not-so-good-time here. Maybe that’s not so unusual.
We would appreciate your prayers as we join with our friends at Path of Life Bible Church in Santa Barbara to reach out into a new neighbourhood with kids’ clubs and a special study for parents. Last week’s turn-out wasn’t great, but Shari, Julian, Malu and some from the church handed out some more flyers yesterday, so we’re hoping for better things this week. 🙂
I got to make up the questions – from easy, to normal, to hard, to very hard, to “almost impossible”. (And they were.)
One group worked particularly hard to prepare, and it showed. Congratulations to the women! (The men challenged them for a while, but eventually fell behind).
If you know Spanish, you can take a look at the questions here.
The not-so-good has been health. I’ve been sick since Thursday noon, and last night was the worst night yet. Which means I’m getting better now, right? Right?
It looks like Shari has decided to join the ranks of the sick today as well. 🙁
But we’re pushing ahead, trying to get some other outreaches up and running here, getting some Bible studies going, and of course getting Hannah and Nathanael edykated.
We’ve been enjoying our time in Sudbury and area, catching up with old friends and making some new ones. Thanks so much for those who prayed for our ministry over the weekend as well. And thanks to those here who have been such a blessing!
We had a great turn-out for Where did the Bible Come From? and enjoyed our time on Sunday morning.
We have another day here and then we start heading north again. On Friday we’ll be on the Polar Bear Express train (yes, that’s what it’s called) heading up to Moosonee.
We appreciate your continued prayers as we serve in Moosonee – there are some interesting ministry opportunities in the area for the weekend and next week, so we’ll see what happens!
Hannah and Nathanael have been getting to know a good northern tradition – kayaking. Here’s proof…
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.

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.
Yes, we’re going to start driving north. We would appreciate your prayers – for strength and health, for a vehicle that works, for smooth sailing through check-points and borders, and for good visits with friends and family.
I estimate that, Lord willing, 7 days from now we will have driven almost 4000km (2500mi). Let the games begin.
