We live in a dark world...a world that suffers the affects of sin and evil. Yet this is the world into which God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, who is the light of the world. Jesus brought us deliverance from the darkness of sin and evil. He also gives us his Word to light our path, to guide us, and for us to take to the far reaches of the earth. As His word says, "The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in the land of deep darkness, on them has light shined." Isaiah 9:2 (ESV)

Giving Thanks

 I am attaching the link to my sermon "Thank the Lord and Sing His Praise" for you to watch. I have had a couple opportunities to share it in person, but now I have had it recorded and uploaded as a video. May you find opportunity to be uplifted and find prayer petitions to lift before the Lord for our work in the North. https://youtu.be/8o_A5_qW3xE

I have had the opportunity to make a trip to Langenburg, SK to meet Mrs. Sholz (94yrs.old)



This year alone she has made 70 blankets for us to deliver to Northern Saskatchewan. This congregation has a number of other knitters and quilters who also prepared donations for the north, which were gladly gathered. It was wonderful to meet such a dedicated servant of others who prepared these blankets over which we prayed, packed, and then I delivered their donations to LaRonge, from where they would be taken north to Sucker River, and the majority going further north to Southend, SK. 

I am so grateful for the continued support and encouragement given as I work from a distance to support our communities in such difficult times. Many of the isolated communities I serve who were untouched by the first wave of the Pandemic are struggling to control it this time. We need to pray that the young people take it seriously and that the elders remain safe from an illness that may cause further physical struggles and could even lead to death. 
May the message of hope that is ours through Jesus our Lord and Saviour bring light to their darkness and peace in the midst of strife and struggle.
God bless each of you this Christmas season as you remember the reason for the season, Jesus the Light of the World, born into our world.

Philippians 2: 14 Do all things without grumbling or disputing, 15 that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, 16 holding fast to the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may be proud that I did not run in vain or labor in vain.
