christ has risen 3

 

Around the world, the celebration of our Saviour’s resurrection is taking place.  Praise the Lord! As the old hymn writer said “because He lives, I can face tomorrow….”  We have hope because He lives

Christ has Risen!

John & Leanne

Meanwhile this past month…..

“This summer is different – I’m not sure what I will be doing…”
“What opportunities do you have in the far North?”
“What is happening with the team going to serve the refugees in Europe – can I still take part in that opportunity?”
“How do we prepare spiritually for our ministry opportunity in…..?”

These were a few of the questions that I had the opportunity to hear this past month.  Thankfully, I was able to give them an answer, or at least point them in the right direction….

Ministry Opportunity!!

160305 John DanielDaniel (who is now 6’3!) and John have the opportunity to serve at Sumy Grace Camp in Sumy, Ukraine this summer.  John is going to lead a team who will be bringing the English ministry portion to the teen camp in July.

They needed English speakers to come and join in the ministry there, and when we heard of this of this need we began to pray and seek how we could be part of it.

Please consider if you would be part of this ministry (see description below).  One option is joining the team and coming along.  Another is joining our financial team – Daniel and John need to raise the funds they need for the trip.
