Day 5 Mission Update: Meadow Lake
Dear Prayer Warriors,
Thank you so much for your continued prayers! Today is Day 5 of our trip, and our second day serving at the Turning Point Youth Center.
Jean led today’s devotional:Romans 3:23: "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." It is easy to let the excitement or challenges of a mission trip feed our pride or exhaust us. But this verse levels the playing field, reminding us that we are not saviours bringing our own perfection; we are simply broken people saved by grace, sharing the Good News with other broken people.
Today, day 5, We split into two groups. This morning, we split into two teams to serve in our community. Team One ( Ben, Janice, Janelle, Sarah, Izabella and Jean) went to the 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 pray for the Door of Hope and a 28-year-old young lady (Lea) who attends there. She struggled with a drug addiction, and her life became full of darkness and pain. A group of gang members forced her into sexual labour. Please pray that the Lord helps her get out of this dangerous situation and finds complete healing.
Team Two (Pastor Marco, Derek, Emily, Beatrice, and Jenny) goal was to give the hardworking staff Turning Point Youth Centre a well-deserved break. while the other continued cleaning at Turning Point Youth Centre.
Afternoon: Ben and Derek led a Logos gospel teaching. Wow amazing! The theme was how to learn to trust God’s plan. The lesson was mentioned, "Life rarely goes in a straight vertical line. People intervene, circumstances change, and unexpected detours happen. Sometimes it feels like a roadblock. But in God's hands, a detour isn't a dead end—it's a divine appointment. When we trust Him, we realize He isn't just watching us walk; He is walking with us, redirecting us toward something better than we could have built ourselves."
Prayer Requests for Today:
Unity: Pray that our team works together seamlessly, supporting one another throughout the day.
Servant's Heart: Pray that we approach the work with humility and love, both while cleaning and while interacting with others.
Protection: She is going through a very hard time right now. We ask you to keep praying for her safety and strong protection from gang members. Please pray that God keeps her safe every day
Peace & Reflection: Pray that our time at Door of Hope, the Youth Centre, and Ben and Derek's teaching leaves a lasting impact and gives us time to reflect on our own lives.
Thank you for continuing to lift us up in prayer!
