What a joy to have the whole family, spouses and grand children included, for a Québec Christmas! It was wonderful to spend this time together in a place that has been so dear to us all for a very long time.

Update from France
Here is a quick update on our survey trip! Sorry about the weird formating. : Webster Update November 18, 2014
Deputation trip in the Northwest
Thank you so much for your prayers concerning deputation. God is blessing. We have had wonderful meetings so far in Wyoming and Montana. Today we head to Camp Pinewood in McCall, Idaho where we will be speaking Wednesday evening, then continuing in Idaho for several more meetings.
Important Prayer News concerning our future!
This prayer update has been delayed on purpose. There have been so many developments in our lives and ministry recently that we felt we should wait until certain details were clearer before sharing. Click here to read more …
Switching Gears
You can access our most recent prayer update here. Do pray for us as we go through the necessary process of switching gears from 27 years of a church revitalization emphasis to an educational emphasis. In between deputation trips we are working hard to prepare ourselves. There are still many details to work through as well as logistical questions, and some loose ends. Mike is even praying about enrolling in a Master of Education program most of which is available online.
Ironwood Christian Camp
For over 25 years Melanie and I had the privilege of hosting work teams both in Sept-Îles and in Quebec City. But last week, we had the opportunity to actually work on a work team during “Nehemiah Work Week at Ironwood.” How refreshing to work alongside others from so many different walks of life and in such a concrete way for a common cause. Getting to know this wonderful ministry located in the heart of the Southern California desert was truly a blessing! Thank you Pastor and Mrs. Craig Evins of Trinity Baptist, Bullhead City, AZ for inviting us to join your gang!
It’s Winter in Québec!
Sure enough, winter caught up with us! But we are thankful to have arrived back home just in time to get up our snow garage. And we did manage to get most of the bushes fully wrapped. The leaves however, will have to wait until Spring.
We do not plan to change our tires since we will be headed to Southern California in just a month, and a week before Québec law requires winter tires.
We will be renting a car for the 24th when Mike will be preaching in Sept-îles as we wouldn’t dare make that 8-hour trip in November without winter tires, and a rental will cost about the same as installing and uninstalling would. Do pray for our ministry there!
Site Upgrades
We’ve reworked our Vision Statement and added a Deputation Materials section to our site. We have also upgraded the French Language (Français) section.
The Lord gave great meetings in NC and WV in August. Looking forward to more meetings in NC beginning next weekend!
Deputation Projects
After over two weeks of 12-hour days at the computer (minus Sundays), we finally have a first edition of a new video presentation of the work! Now we are excited about using it in churches. Our next trip is a short one but will take us to NC, SC, WV, and PA.
In 2007, since we still had only a slide projector, a young missionary who was here with his family to study French put our first video together for us. We have missed you Jesse Shanks!
Please continue to pray for our travels but also for other projects related to deputation.
