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.
You can see the bag of leaves in the front yard right where we left it the night before!
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!
Bible Institute Graduates and their Wives now ministering in Sept-Îles and Québec City
We are attempting to arrange a meeting sometime this Fall of the men who were closely associated with the former Bible Institute in Lennoxville. Please pray that God might use this to foster greater biblical unity among us. Pray for honesty, transparency, humility, and open hearts as we share with one another concerning our past and future cooperation in the harvest field of Québec.
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.
We’re creating a new page on our ministry site for French-speakers! This will allow one to keep up with ministry news directly related to the Bible Institute project. We will eventually provide a newsletter in French via the Bible Institute site. Here’s the link: Français
Monday was Quebec’s patriotic holiday! This song has been accepted as the unofficial hymn of Québec. We are reminded of how much we love the people here and how thankful we are to be able to preach the Gospel here! Thank you for your continued prayerful support!
Just a note to say that our e-mail will be down for what we hope will not be more than a few hours today. We are changing hosting services for both simplification and cost effectiveness.
This site will probably need some spiffing up after the change as well. Thanks for your patience!
We want to thank you all for praying for our daughter Valerie and the group from Calvary Christian School that she helped lead on a mission team to France. We praise the Lord that her health held up during the trip. Mike had the privilege of driving a portion of the group home from the airport in Charlotte upon their return. What a blessing it was to hear of the Lord’s working in and through these young people.

Tomorrow, our oldest daughter Valerie flies out of Charlotte with a group of students from Calvary Christian School in Greer, SC. She and another teacher are leading this group on a mission trip to help missionaries Jared and Rebekah Stevenson for one week. We ask you to pray that God might use this trip in the hearts of these young people for His glory. We are so thankful that Valerie’s epilepsy has been under control for several months now. We ask you to pray for her in a special way during this trip. It is such a thrill for us as parents to see her and Tom giving of themselves to the Lord’s work!
