Wishing our family and friends in Canada a very warm and happy Canadian Thanksgiving!

Praise the Lord with us for a good week of sharing, praying, and bringing words of blessing to the people of our town.  We appreciate the energy that the team from First Alliance Church in Toronto brought to the week.  There were glimpses of God working in people’s lives on different days throughout the week.  For example:

• Tuesday – hearing the testimony of the pastor in the nearby town of Sihhu reminded everyone that God is mighty to save.
• Thursday – words of affirmation and direction as on-site workers were prayed for.
• Saturday – Three youth asked to come over, even though the usually scheduled youth event was cancelled, and there was a good time of interacting with one of our short-term team members.
• Sunday – we had a total of 18 people celebrate Thanksgiving, including the two of us.  Four of the six people from the community were first time attendees.  (see attached photo)

This week we will continue teaching English and telling Bible stories in the schools.  Please pray that the students would be willing to carefully listen and that the content of the stories would take root in their hearts.

We have heard of a single parent family in town that is in crisis and needs outside help. Please pray that we will be able to make contact this week if it is God’s will for us to be His presence in this situation.
