Robert & Susan - January 2024
MARTIN, ROBERT & SUSAN (Kingston, ON; Kingston Prison Ministry; MSC) PRAISE: We are grateful for the 120 men who attended the Christmas service at Bath Inst. We led the carol sing and the chaplain gave a gospel message. We had a wonderful Christmas celebration with our children and grandchildren. We do not take this for granted and feel so very blessed. We are thankful for their loving support. PRAY:
Ryan continues to attend chapel services and Alpha but claims he is into new age, eastern thinking. He is aware of the gospel but has chosen otherwise. Pray the Holy Spirit would mercifully lift the veil of spiritual blindness.

Please pray with us that these funds will reach those for whom it is intended. It's not easy. I am regularly involved in helping churches "succeed more" with their mission. That means, constant need for Holy Spirit fullness and wisdom. Pray ok?

MARTIN, CHARLOTTE (Guelph, ON; Power to Change) PRAISE: I had an enjoyable and restful Christmas Break. It was nice to spend time with family, and not have a lot in my schedule.

PRAY: For more applications for our May Trips - Desert Rain, Praxis Edmonton, Nations Next Door Ottawa, Vietnam. The deadline to apply is January 31st.
