The People's Church in Truro, NS

We had the pleasure of being a part of the Wednesday night Bible Study and Prayer Meeting at People's Church last night. When we lived in Truro (1999 - 2003) we worshiped at Peoples, and for three years Liz taught kindergarten (K4) at the Colchester Christian Academy at the church. It was a great pleasure for us to be able to share our excitement in this ministry with our friends there.

The enthusiasm that they showed for the ministry and our beginning in this work was a huge encouragement to us. The missions committee arranged for a collection of kitchen materials for Arrowhead and the congregation responded generously with a big hamper full of wonderful things for the kitchen.

Thank you so very much to the kind folks at People's Church for this wonderful contribution to the ministry here at Arrowhead Native Bible Center.

As you can see in the picture, we also received some generous gifts of pennies for the Penny Rolling Partay this Saturday!

It is this kind of support that helps us to smoothly operate or summer camps and events at Arrowhead. Last summer via the "Grocery Grabber Coupon" program Arrowhead was saved nearly $5,000 in grocery costs. Because we operate below cost for our summer camps this ministry is richly blessed by the practical gifts of local churches.

Windsor Baptist Church

This past weekend we had the immense privilege of returning to our home church in Windsor, Nova Scotia to share with the congregation there a ministry update. We arrived on Saturday evening and were treated to a pot luck with our Carpenter's Hands Bible Study friends. They had been saving pennies, many of which were accumulated by Pastor Jeff over the years. We all gathered around in Jeff's living room and had a preliminary "Penny Rolling Party"Windor style. At the end of the evening the tally was $74 and change in pennies (or 7,400+ pennies) which will contribute to training expenses for us and the Strouts.

The fellas' turn to do some counting...

Sunday morning I was given the opportunity to share for about half an hour about all of the exciting things the Lord has been doing in our lives and at Arrowhead. The encouragement and response from those in attendance was a real blessing to us. We enjoyed some fellowship following the service and then made our way back home to Cumberland Bay on Sunday night.

We are looking forward to quite a bit of travel over the next few weeks prior to leaving for P.A.T.H. training. Perhaps we'll see some of you on our journeys.
