Day of Prayer
We met together for our third annual Day of Prayer at the Western Tract
Mission office.
Impact Canada has had 9 responses, and 3 saved by reading tracts.
There are two new Tract Clubs formed, giving us 6. We need more Tract Clubs!
Three more Scripture signs are up, and a review of past feedback
was edifying.
Dave Ginther's report on Unreached Communities in Saskatchewan pointed
out that there are 1000 small towns and villages in this province, but
only 260 of those have a church of any kind. Ideas were raised to help
fill in where we don't know what kind of witness might exist, and for
challenging Bible School students looking for a place of ministry.
One of the most exciting reports was of developments among Hutterites
in Southern Alberta, where 7 were recently baptized, then excommunicated,
(with their families, that makes 28) and are now being ministered to by
other believers off the colony. More are likely to follow.
Tactful workers are needed, and funds for a radio broadcast directed
at Hutterites.
Emory has received the computer we prayed for last year, he has nearly
all the tracts up, and the website is getting about 30 visitors a day.
Some of the Gospel booklets have been made into free e-books that can be
downloaded from the site.
From Lynn Fraser we learned 30 correspondence students have been saved
this year, and Tina Dyck has come on as another volunteer. Yet there were
earnest requests for prayer too; that it would be interesting for modern
kids, God's Word not return void, wisdom for correctors, numbers of
students to increase (about 700 are active students now), and also for
many children who have chronic health conditions.
Then we took time for some personal prayer requests. What an exercise in
rejoicing to see how God has answered prayer!
