One prayer request we have kept before our prayer network has been the calling of team members to join us here.  We dreamed that not only would God send us partners in ministry and in life, but that they would have skills and gifts that would complement what we bring.

This was the second national conference of the Fellowship of Grace Brethren Churches we have been to, and we never cease to enjoy any opportunity to get together with the leaders and other members of Grace Brethren Churches across North America (and a few international missionaries as well!)  Not having experienced national-level meetings in any [...]

Everyone’s heading home tomorrow.  We hosted the wrap-up at our place, and were more than touched by the warm feelings and supportive people who we now consider our friends.  Of the 40 people who came from Ontario, Vancouver, Ohio, South Carolina, California, Maryland and Iowa, we only knew maybe 8 of them from before.  What [...]

I couldn’t just do a simple Facebook update for today: too much has happened! It has been an amazing day of blessing and service here in Medicine Hat, and we have seen willing hearts and hands commit to excellence and be blessed!

Since we arrived in Medicine Hat, we have been more and more falling in love with the region.  The warmth – not just in the air but in the people, the city even.  And then there is the landscape, the clouds, the sky, the air, the antelope, the deer, even the gophers.  But that was [...]
