Over the weekend our kids were excited to see the first bit of snow coming down in our yard, confirming that summer is over and Fall is on us! We now have two opposing snow forts in the back yard. After a very cool and wet summer, we are hoping this melts quick!

With Fall here we are back in the full swing of things with the kids at school and other activities. Two of the kids are now involved in quizzing at church, so they are busy doing Scripture memory and getting ready for the first competition. Naomi is teaching a childrens’ Sunday School class and I am leading the adult class this Fall at our church, as well as preaching one Sunday a month at another smaller rural church.

Please pray for our family as we are involved in church, school, and just the busyness of life, that we keep our priorities straight.

Please pray too for additional financial support for our family.

Everybody takes first-day-of-school photos these days, and this year ours coincided with a chapel day, so they were in dress uniform for their small Christian school. We decided to have some fun and take a goofy photo on day two as well, showing life after the excitement of day one, but the teenager didn’t want to be in some silly photo.

Evangelism Partnerships
In the last week I’ve had a few opportunities to talk to people using our evangelism resources in their ministries. I love hearing how people are using these Gospel tools.

A pregnancy care centre here in Alberta re-ordered 7 cases of our children’s book, “The Lamb.” They put one of these evangelism picture books in each gift basket they give to everyone who comes to them for help from their community. This is a wonderful idea for sharing the Good News with those in a challenging time of life.

Yesterday, we shipped 400 copies of “The Story that Matters” to a church in the US that distributes these books annually at a juvenile detention center within their community. Again, a great ministry to those who in need.

Please pray with us for those churches, ministries and individuals using these tools to share the precious Gospel message in their communities.
