Day 1 Mission Update: Meadow Lake
Van 1: Derek led today’s devotional! Van 2: Beatrice led our daily devotional! James 1:19 "My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry." Our team is focusing on the power of pausing. In a world that demands immediate reactions, we are challenging ourselves to be intentional listeners and to hold back quick, angry words.
We want to thank you for praying for us. This morning, many beloved brothers and sisters from SCCEFC gave us a wonderful send-off for our team 2 SK short-term mission!
We stopped by Red Deer, Jean brother's restaurant on our way to the Turning Point Youth Centre. Even though he did not know the Lord yet, he gave us 8 orders of Sweet & Sour pork for the Meadow Lake youths and snacks for our journey. Please pray for this man’s salvation today—we know God is working in his life!
Following the meal, we headed over to Tim and Judy’s house for a wonderful debrief session to go over our plans for this week.
As we settle in and begin our time here, please continue to pray for our team:
Unity & Peace: Pray that our team remains deeply unified and that God grants us a quiet, steadfast peace in every interaction.
Health: Please pray for physical stamina and protection against illness or exhaustion over these next few days.
Hearts to Listen: Pray that we are granted an "ear to hear" by the Indigenous community—that we may be quick to listen, slow to speak, and sensitive to the Holy Spirit's leading and with humble hearts to guide our interactions and learning.
For Calm Hearts: That we will be slow to anger, aligning our reactions with God's righteousness and grace
Thank you for covering us in prayer every step of the way. We will keep you updated!
Blessings,
Team 2 SK STM
