Our Third day in Chibougamau

Praise the Lord for another sunny day at the Gabriel Lodge! Our wonderful God has continued to bless us with simple things, like good weather. The Worship Team led morning singspiration, which provided us with unbelievable comfort and the opportunity to praise God. All ministries within JSTM will be working to serve our Lord today. We are so thankful for the people who have prayed for us along this journey, because He has listened to the prayers and has kept us safe and healthy so far.

The Renovation Team has begun working on the projects for the day. This includes fixing the hot water tank, changing the toilet seats in the washroom, changing the kitchen sink, repairing the tiles on the floor and much more! We thank God for providing us with a committed and selfless team of men who have chosen to serve the Lord this week. God has not only given them the strength to carry out all the renovation projects, but has given them a noble heart to serve as well!

Furthermore, The Kitchen Team has once again, cooked wonderful meals to serve JSTM. Today, we had fresh, fried pike from the lake by the lodge! God has blessed each of the members with the ability to make great meals for the team. May He continue to spiritually and physically strengthen them, so that they will have the energy and heart to work together.

On the other hand, several members of the Children’s Ministry headed out to Ouje- Bougoumou in the afternoon. We were able to see the other camps and meetings that were being held this week. Please pray for the Children’s Ministry, because the camp that they are running is being held at a time slot where several other camps are occurring. This was due to a restricted time slot, so please pray boldly that God will provide us with children to reach out to, regardless of the circumstances.

Although the upcoming week will be filled with hard work and challenges, we hope and pray that God will strengthen us in our faith by allowing us to not lean on our own understanding, but His understanding, so that He may make our paths straight! We hope that you keep us in your prayers throughout this week as well.

For Him,

JSTM 2012
