Ray & Carol Jones - June 2023

JONES, RAY & CAROL (Guelph, ON; Itinerant Preaching/Teaching Ministry)  PRAISE: Carol and I continue to serve the Lord and are thankful for the many opportunities He gives to do that. Guelph Bible Conference Centre seems to have finally passed the effects of Covid, as evidenced by the numbers of folk keen to enjoy good fellowship, food (spiritual and physical) and fun. I (Ray) enjoyed seeing old friends at Wallenstein on a rare Sunday off last week. Now it's back to speaking most Sundays for a while. I'm thankful for the many opportunities to counsel so many folk who are struggling for various reasons, but.... PRAY: There seem to be an increasing number of people who are struggling for various reasons. I will be teaching the young staff again this summer at Guelph Bible CC. This is a great opportunity and I really appreciate your prayer in this. Unfortunately, it means that I can't join the prayer meeting with Paul H. and the others on Wednesday evenings, but I know they will be faithfully praying. Carol's health is a concern; she is 'struggling' with various difficulties and has recently added osteoporosis. Paramount in ministry is that the Holy Spirit would be allowed to lead and that He would use the Word of God to glorify our Lord Jesus Christ. I really appreciate your prayers for me in this.
