Thank-you for praying for all of those who attended the HMS with us this past week. If you are curious about what HMS is, please use this link to find out more.

• We met with others ministering in British Columbia and together set goals to try and be in contact with each Alliance church and each pastor in the province this year.  It is an ambitious goal, so please pray that God will help us as a group to be able to serve Him in this way.
• We were challenged from God’s Word as it was explained by David Hearn and Ian Trigg.  There were numerous other times when Scripture shaped our thinking and discussions as well.  Please pray that God will continue to work in us so that we grow in our ability to live and minister as God desires.
• We came home with a long “To-Do List” that will shape our planning, scheduling, and actions through May 2017.  Please pray that we will hear God’s directives and sense God’s leading on how to do the things on our list and other things, so that He gets the glory and honour.

School has already begun for the children of international workers.  Please pray that the children would make healthy friendships.  Pray that they will not just learn the curriculum facts, but also how to more fully live for God in all they do and say.

Albert and Elaine’s two daughters are being home schooled because that is the best schooling option in our rural location.  Please pray for Albert and Elaine to be Holy Spirit-filled as they balance teaching their children with the ministry in the church and community.

This week Lorne will finalize the budget request for the 2017 Taiwan church-planting team.  The budget will provide resources and set limits on what can be done next year.  Please pray for Lorne to have wisdom, faith-filled anticipation, and the ability to remember all the various elements that need to be included.  Pray that others who provide information will have faith-filled wise answers.

While on the topic of money, we want to remind you that our basic support comes from two sources:  1) Donations designated for our support, and 2) the Global Advance Fund.  This support provides for international workers to work globally.  We appreciate your financial support in addition to your weekly praying for us.

Thank-you for being on mission with God, Everyone, Everywhere, All the time.

Lorne and Kathy-Lu
