2015 Vol. 18

We enjoyed spending time out in the community this last weekend attending the two Dragonboat Festival events.  (Some of you will have seen photos on FaceBook.)  We ate the traditional bamboo leaf wrapped dumplings and were able to meet some parents of our students.

This is our last week in the classroom for this semester.  We praise God that we have had this wonderful opportunity to interact with the children and to tell them Bible stories.  Please pray for us as we take the break from teaching to evaluate our time commitments and pray for God’s leading for making commitments for the Fall.

Praise the Lord that there are 82 students registered for the Summer Youth Camp (July 13-17) and 56 students registered for the Summer Children’s Camp (July 20-24).  Please pray for the two teams from Calgary who are making final preparations to come and staff these camps.  Pray that God will give the students open hearts to receive the truth that is presented.

Lorne is excited to be meeting with KC for Bible studies.  Please pray that God will continue to encourage him and help his faith to grow.

Praise the Lord that our son Ethan has found employment, pending final security checks, at ATB Financial in Calgary.  He begins in his new position in early July.

We have a heavy rain advisory for our area.  One storm with wind and rain passed through yesterday evening.  This morning we noticed that a field of almost ready to harvest rice is flattened.  It made me think about the fact that maturity by itself does not make us invincible when the storms of life hit.  We need to rely on Christ.  When we find things flattened, Jesus is still with us to pick up the pieces.  Isn’t that wonderful news?
