We are grateful to be serving<\/span><\/strong> with the NTM team in Canada as\u00a0our family continues to settle in to our new environment.<\/p>\n

We have been here for two months now. Due to your faithful partnership<\/span><\/em> we remain encouraged and enabled to minister to tribal missionaries and\u00a0be involved in God’s\u00a0gospel work around the world. We thank the Lord for each of you!! Here is some glimpses of our activities over the past four weeks…<\/p>\n

MORIAH Dentist appointment<\/strong><\/p>\n

After a checkup and making a return appointment, Moriah returned to the dentist in Hanover to get three of her four cavities filled. It was hard on her and she came to the “waiting room” in tears. Last filling should be happening in November.<\/p>\n

ELIJAH Played his 1st game<\/strong><\/p>\n

Elijah’s hard work in practice paid off last Thursday. He played in his 1st ever, official Jr game. The players from his school were all students in grades 9 and 10. He played linebacker on defense. Offensively he played left tackle a couple plays and number two back for others. He was able to make the scrimmage line once when he carried the ball.<\/p>\n

SUSAN attending AWANA<\/strong><\/p>\n

We have been able to get Susan connected to a ride, into the next town, so she can continue her pursuit of the AWANA Timothy Award. She has a lot of work to get through and she is working hard. We are grateful for those helping us with transportation, since they are being a blessing to Susan – so much.<\/p>\n

ACADEMY Field trips<\/strong><\/p>\n

Roland and Jinni both were chaperones to separate field trips, on the same day. Jinni and the High Schoolers, along with Mr. J.P. went to the “World Concerns” convention. Jinni reported it was eye-opening for her as well as the students. Roland was one of two drivers for the Elementary grades to an historic site, from early Ontario. A new museum there was not open, but there were kind people who escorted the students around explaining early times in this town site from the 1914’s era.<\/p>\n

1\/4 inch of SNOW<\/strong><\/p>\n

We had our first reminder of the fact that Winter is on the way when we awakened to find snow on the deck and car windows. Although there was not a lot of snow<\/strong><\/span> it was a great joy to hear Moriah and Susan be excited to see the cold and white stuff. We know<\/strong> winter is on the way and so more SNOW<\/span>!!!<\/p>\n

In addition to all this, while we’ve been here, the Siar church<\/span> has been “born”; the Dao believers<\/span> have grown in their faith; the Moi believers<\/span> have seen their congregation grow in number and faith; A long time servant, church-planter in Brazil, went to be with the Lord; missionary prayer letters received by NTM Canada were prayed through by NTM Canada staff.<\/p>\n

Thank you for your partnership in the gospel ministry around the world!<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

our team for His glory,<\/p>\n
