Richard & Butze Rapids

This week we met a guy named Richard at the Bus stop. He is originally from Vancouver & moved here 6 years ago. He is raising his cousin, who he legally adopted as a new born, James. We phoned him yesterday to see if he was around & to see if we could get together this week. He was off work for the day so we asked him to go to Butze Rapids. It was a great time! We just hung out, talked & got to know him... He is really friendly & isn't in too drinking and partying. So he was pretty excited to find a group of people that were the same.


As we talked with Richard; he was really open to talking about faith & his past. It was a great time getting to know him & just hang out... I am sure we will be hanging out again soon!
Keep praying that the Lord will open doors for us to be in the community!!

We met a lady named Nancy who is the "Captain" of the Salvation Army. Her and her husband have served in Rupert for 6 years and they started with 30 families. After 6 months of serving the homeless lunches their attendance went to 150 & currently they are serving 300. During this time about 40 youth have come to Christ & they need some help mentoring these students. They opened up a student drop in centre, which has believers and non. Nancy said that we would be able to volunteer with them. They want us to teach them about self esteem & encourage them... We can share the Gospel at the same time. I really hope that we can communicate how valuable they are to God! What an opportunity!
Thanks for continuing to pray for us!
