Easter Offering Update

Thank you to everyone who gave to the Easter offering.  As a result of your generosity we will be sending $3,000.00 to the farmers of High River Baptist church to plant seeds and buy fertilizer for 12 acres ($250/acre)!!   Wow, what a great gift to them and a way for us and High River Baptist church to be a part of feeding malnourished families thru our partnership with CBM and Canadian Food Grains Bank.  “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat…”  Matt. 25: 35

Prayer Requests for Lebanon

Please pray the following for Lebanese Baptists:

• The continuous influx of Syrian refugees into Lebanon. Pray for their needs, particularly for the thousands of school-aged children that are out of school; and the implications of that on their safety, and future.
• Christian Iraqi refugees in Lebanon, who though are “a drop in the ocean in comparison with Syrian refugees in Lebanon”, still have critical needs that are yet to be addressed.
• The November program for Syrian refugee children.
• Their Relief Consultation in November. Pray for God’s guidance and wisdom as they think through with their partners the way forward vis-à-vis the Syria crisis.
• The security situation in their region.

Update from the True Vine School

The church recently received an  newsletter from the True Vine School in Zahle, Lebanon. The newsletter talks about what they and others are doing in developing Child Friendly Spaces.  If you are interested in either supporting this initiative in donation or short term mission trip, please contact the church office.
