Gord & Heather - July 2022
MARTIN, GORD & HEATHER (Waterloo, ON; Vision Ministries) PRAISE/PRAY: Praise the Lord! Our friend Indy has escaped from Burma/Myanmar to India! He is recovering his health slowly – is not well enough to fly. All his travel documents are expired. Please pray that he will be able to return to his family in Winnipeg, soon. Perhaps in a month or two? I am in the middle of writing the training materials that will be used in Kenya in October. I’d very much appreciate your prayer support for that! Heather has just completed the 12 steps of Celebrate Recovery with a few pastor’s wives. It's been an enriching experience.
Charlotte Martin - July 2022
MARTIN, CHARLOTTE (Guelph, ON; Power to Change) PRAISE: All our mission trips went well and ended well. God was faithful in changing lives. My travel in May and June went well. I enjoyed getting to visit mission trips, especially getting to experience Vietnam and help with the mission trip debrief. I was able to enjoy family both when I was in Singapore and at a cottage in ON at the end of June. PRAY: The Guelph P2C office moves to a smaller space within Guelph at the end of August. We have a lot of stuff that I am responsible for downsizing and I'm slightly overwhelmed with everything that needs to get done in the next two months. We are starting to confirm locations and leaders for 2023 mission trips. My global missions team has some team member changes happening this summer. Pray that we would welcome new team members well and say goodbye to those transitioning to other things.
