Yet Another Day to Be Thankful For

Our merciful and sovereign Lord has blessed us with a pleasant and sunny day in Chibougamau! We are also thankful for the Kitchen Team, who prepared a hearty breakfast for our entire Team to eat so that we may have the energy and strength to go about today’s duties.

Today, the Children’s Ministry held their first day of children’s camp in Mistissini. They had a very productive day, where the children sang the songs and were very respectful as well. The children also had lots of fun playing games with the members of our team. It was definitely very encouraging to see 33 children come out to the camp, and the opportunity to serve the native kids was certainly an exciting experience. We hope that God will bring more children tomorrow, so that they may hear about the gospel.

Furthermore, the Renovation Team continued to refurbish the Gabriel Lodge site. Although the team is small in number, they were able to start the painting in the small houses outside. The tiling in the houses was completed too! In addition, they renewed the cables in the main building. Praise God that they have stayed safe over the past few days as well!

Once again, the Worship Team had the privilege of singing at the tent meeting once again. It was yet another great experience for them to be in the presence of people who were all worshipping God with all their heart. Tomorrow, they will be going to the tent/ revival ceremony to perform for the last time.

We are so thankful for God’s blessings. As we continue to serve Him this week, please continue to pray for:

1.       Worship Team- energy and a humble heart to serve God, cohesion within the team, time management and a safe drive to and from Mistissini

2.       Children’s Ministry- a loving heart to serve the children so that they may experience God’s love and to open the children’s hearts so that they may hear and accept the message we teach them

3.       Renovation Team- safety when completing today’s work and good weather that permits work to be done

4.       Kitchen Team- safety, strength and energy to continue to cook for the team, because some members are experiencing weakness as they have stayed for two weeks

5.       The health and safety of all team members, so that we are all able to serve Christ effectively within the coming week

6.       Unity within our team, time management and humbleness to serve the Lord

Until next time,
