When Lorne took the car for servicing today, the shop owner’s wife mentioned that although they are Buddhists, they enjoyed attending the Christian evangelistic event just over a week ago.  This provided more opportunity to talk, including a discussion about the need for more activities for youth and children in our community.  She is very open to their children participating in events we might sponsor in the future.  Please pray that God will help us to have other significant contacts with the Su Family.

We plan to contact the local schools this week.  We are hoping for opportunities to volunteer in local schools.  This allows us to build relationships and allows us to be a contributing member in our community.  Please pray for wisdom to know which opportunities to participate in.  We need to balance competing time demands.

Ethan and Elyssa will be leaving Abbotsford on Sunday, August 26 to go to school at Ambrose University College in Calgary.  They will be visiting with extended family on the trip.  Please pray for safe travels and some good memory-building times with those they see.

On Saturday, August 25 we will be rejoicing and celebrating the two-year milestone since Kathy-Lu’s open heart surgery.  Praise the Lord for His daily mercies!
