The school year is winding down with the last day of class on June 2. With only a couple of weeks left and warm weather outside, the students are finding it harder and harder to concentrate on their studies!

Upcoming Events for the Johnstones:

May 18-19 Campus Days. Our last Campus Days in April saw 20 young people attend and we had 10 new applications. Several of the others in attendance had already applied. We are praying for another successful Campus Days with many new visitors.

May 19-21 Alumni Reunion. Troy is the principal organizer for this event too. We are inviting all our alumni from the past three graduating classes to come back for the May long weekend.

Early June – Naomi will be working to finish the student’s yearbook. Much of the work has already been done by students and one of our interns, but the intern is getting married and will not be able to complete the project.

June 6-9 Word of Life National Staff Conference. Every two years we pull all of our staff together from across Canada for a time of encouragement from God’s Word and other meetings. This year we will be meeting in Schroon Lake, New York. Pray for safety for all our staff as they travel.

June 9- July 2 Vacation/Deputation. Troy and Naomi will be driving from Schroon Lake to Troy’s home town of Sackville, New Brunswick. While there we will be visiting supporters and churches to bring them up to date.

Please pray for:

• Admissions Interns for next year
• Students as they finish the academic part of the school year and prepare for their summer ministry
• Young people from across Canada as they plan to join us in September at WOLBI

Troy, Naomi, and Ellie

Last week we had Campus Days, a chance for potential students to come and check out the school. Wes (in the orange shirt) works with me in the Admissions department. We went to town to pick out prizes for the games and came up with what could be our best Grand Prize ever.. a figure of Sir John A MacDonald! He comes complete with a writing table, little plastic books, and spectacles. Ben, a Campus Days visitor, was the winner of this wonderful Grand Prize. Other people got chocolate bars and other tasty food, but only one got the figure of Canada’s first Prime Minister. Lucky guy.

It was a very successful Campus Days.. possibly our biggest yet. We had 20 people attend, some who had already applied, some who were too young to apply now, and a bunch who were there for the first time. We ended up getting 10 applications from this event! As my boss put it, “where else can you talk face to face with young people about their future! I love it!”
