We’re just about to head into what I affectionately call “Manic May”, because May tends to be our busiest month of the year. And it doesn’t look like this May is going to disappoint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I won’t get into all the reasons for that, and all the things we need to get done in May. But let’s look at a few of the upcoming events you might want to pray about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
South Calgary Chinese Evangelical Free Church:<\/strong> Over the second weekend of May, we’re looking forward to welcoming two men from the SCCEFC (obviously from Calgary, Alberta)! We’re hoping to give them a glimpse of the ministry here, looking to possible future ministry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Still Water Community Church:<\/strong> The next weekend, a larger group will be coming from Rowlett, Texas, for much the same purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lighthouse Community Church:<\/strong> The weekend after that, we will have visitors from Torrance, California. This will be a biblical counselling training weekend, with the main seminar on Saturday. We appreciate the continuing partnership that we have with Lighthouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In here somewhere we’ll be preparing for some exciting upcoming events – for example, a wedding on the 1st of June, and two teams visiting in June as well!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Please pray as the ministry continues here through the rest of the spring. We’re looking forward to special Holy Week services, continuing studies, and of course wrapping up home school for Nathanael in May\/early June. Hannah is getting into the crazy school year-end stuff as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Through it all, may God be glorified, and may His Word spread!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
