Ray & Carol Jones - March 2023
JONES, RAY & CAROL (Guelph, ON; Itinerant Preaching/Teaching Ministry) PRAISE: Thankful for a good trip to our grandson's wedding in Arizona. The Lord opened a number of doors to witness, teach and encourage. Thankful that Carol seems to be doing better these days, in some ways. PRAY: Carol has been in some considerable pain and difficulty with an ongoing UTI infection. The medical folk don't seem to be able to come up with the right treatment and she is experiencing some severe discomfort. My diary is quite full so I would appreciate prayer for health, strength and the Lord's continuing guidance. The miles are piling up on my car so I would appreciate 'health' for that too! Please pray that the Lord would move in hearts to get families and children into the various Christian camps over the summer.

Esther Frey - March 2023
FREY, ESTHER (Puerto Rico; Emmaus Correspondence) PRAISE: Participated in a radio program that is directed to prisoners. I shared the program with an ex-inmate you had done 68 courses in the 8 years I knew of him. He is now an evangelist. No knee replacement at this time. Our Emmaus office completion rate is very high for which we thank the Lord. Teamworkers (5) arrived February 27 and will be painting the chapel. They stay for two weeks. PRAY: Safety and protection as people work at the chapel. I'll help teach a group in Healing the Wounded Heart March 13-17. I've had to receive an eye injection in my better eye and this will be done once a month for three months. March 6 I receive the second one. I will also begin leg therapy this month for lymphedema. So grateful for your prayers as we join together to see our dear Lord work.
Jenn Brubacher - March 2023
BRUBACHER, JENN (Listowel, YFC) PRAISE: Over the last month, I've had the opportunity to serve within the high school four days a week, from coaching to assisting a gym class to being a supervisor for a field trip. This is a gift and answer to prayer, and I've built more connections and relationships because of it. 'Georgia' is choosing life and has even applied to school! Our senior high drop-in is growing and is full of students who love to play basketball, many I know from coaching at the high school. PRAY: Our team needs God's presence, wisdom and care to walk with these students well. Please pray for the parents and families of our drop-in students that they may experience Christ's deep healing and peace.
