Day 3 Mission Update: Meadow Lake
Dear Prayer Warriors,
Izabella led today’s devotional! Genesis 1:27 states: "So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them". which reminds us that all humanity is created in the image of God. As we go, our goal is not just to complete tasks, but to treat everyone we meet with the dignity of bearing God's image, and to reflect His love to the world.
Thank you for continuing to lift us up. Today was Day 3 of our journey, and we had already seen God at work. This morning, we split into two teams to serve in our community. Team One (Pastor Marco, Ben, Derrek, Jenny, Sarah, Izabella and Jean) went to the Door of Hope. Team Two (Beatrice, Emily, Janice, and Janelle) went to the Bethel Gospel Camp. Team one went to Door of Hope to serve a warm meal to the homeless. It was a humbling and impactful experience to be the hands and feet of Jesus. Please join us in lifting up the Door of Hope. We thank God that this Christian organization is a beacon of light, serving nutritious meals to people who are homeless or facing hard financial times. While we were at the Door of Hope, three wonderful people decided to follow Jesus. Their names are Herman (he is the manager of the Door of Hope), Dawsyn (her story is more complicated), and Peggy (she is Dawsyn’s friend). If you want more details, please talk to any of us. Thank you so much for your faithful prayers that helped make this possible. Please keep praying for them as they start their new walk of faith!
Please pray for Door of Hope: Abundant provision of food and resources so no one is turned away. Strength, energy, and protection for every staff member and volunteer serving on the front lines. Open hearts to receive the gospel message, that those struggling with physical hunger may also find eternal spiritual hope and healing in Jesus Christ.
Team 2 went to Bethel Gospel Camp to help out because they were short-staffed. The team arranged chairs for the campers, flattened boxes for the campfire, washed the dishes, cut vegetables, and served food. May this camp continue to bless many people to come.
This afternoon, we traveled to Waterhen First Nation for a short visit. We thought we would just visit the office, drop off some presents for the Chief and Council, and take a short tour. However, praise the Lord for His perfect timing! The Chief and Council had an emergency meeting, which opened the door for us to see and speak with them. If you want more details, please talk to any of us on Team 2.
Please continue to pray for our team today. Specifically, we ask for:
Sensitive hearts to listen and understand those we meet.
Peace to anchor our minds during our travels.
Reflection so we can process what we are experiencing and align our lives with His will.
Thank you for interceding for us!
Blessings,
SK STM Team 2
