The Big Ten

Posted on October 30, 2018 by Troy

Wingnut is the big TEN.

All three kids are now in the double digits, with Ethan joining the ranks this week. So thankful for this healthy young man as he continues to grow (and grow, and grow…). Please join us in praying for Ethan that he would live a life honouring to his Saviour.

A recent quote from Ethan about going back to school: “I love school! It is like being on vacation but with something to do!”

Guy forgot his lunch, so I surprised him with his favorite – Subway

Excited about the raclette

“I think it is a book”

One of his favorite “foods”.

A book Ethor has been wanting.

Visiting family from Ontario, hanging out with family for two big meals, and a big group effort to put my photo that was made into a puzzle by TCG Toys. A great Thanksgiving weekend!

Ministry Update :: September 5

Posted on September 5, 2018 by Troy

Life has been crazy busy for us lately. Despite that, we had a few chances to get away here and there as a family this summer. We camped a couple nights in Drumheller and took a road trip to visit family, friends and supporters in British Columbia. We also had visitors here when Naomi’s cousin and family flew in from the US. We’ve been thankful for these times to step away and get refreshed.

Support

Right now our financial support is at about 61% of our goal. Please pray with us and for us as we need new partners to help us keep our household going.

New Translation

Seven years in the making! Finally the Chinese edition of the book By This Name is now in print, a testament to the perseverance of the translator and those checking the manuscript for accuracy. We recently received images of the books in a warehouse in Asia, and hope to have a few in stock here in Canada soon. Please join us in praying for a bold witness as this evangelism and discipleship tool begins distribution.

Thank you for your prayers for us and our ministry with GoodSeed.

Supertrain and sheep dogs

Posted on April 17, 2018 by Troy

Took a Saturday to go do some fun stuff with the kids in Calgary. Spent part of the morning at Supertrain, the annual model train show, and in the afternoon rode the CTrain downtown to the Stampede Grounds for an agri show and watched the finals of a sheep dog competition.

The model train show was spread through several large rooms, and we really only got to see about half of it, but much of it was very impressive. The kids enjoyed looking for all the funny hidden things that are in pretty much every display.

The sheep dog competition was really interesting. The training and teamwork to get those dogs to move three sheep around the obstacles in the area and then into a small pen was really impressive!
