For we are laborers together with God. – 1 Corinthians 3:9

Dear Praying Partners,

This summer has been very busy for us at the Mailbox Club in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. In June we graded 447 lessons, in July 568 and then in August we graded 448 Bible lessons that were mailed to us. We have graded a high number of lessons this summer, because we are sending a Sugar Creek Gang book to each student under 16 who sends us 5 names and addresses of friends who would like to start doing lessons. We have sent out 113 books since January. From these names we receive on an average 4 or more new students a week! Please keep us in prayer as we grade many lessons each week. The ladies that I work with are Ivy, Hertha, Linda, Judy, and Katie. We all appreciate your prayers as we grade lessons at Western Tract Mission.

Notes from our students:

“I am very glad to have the opportunity to do these lessons. They are reinforcing Biblical truths that Ilearned many years ago as a new believer. They are helping me to be more focused and have a more consistent devotional time. They make me stop and think more about what I am reading. ~Barb an adult from Saskatchewan

“I took the Lord Jesus as my Saviour right away when I read this mailbox lesson and I am glad to have Him as my Saviour! “ ~Sarah age 13 from Ontario

Prayer:

• Pray for each of our students as they continue to do their lessons.
• Pray for safety as we travel to Moosomin, SK the weekend of September 8.

Praises:

• Praise the Lord for 448 lessons graded in the Mailbox Club during the month of August.
• Praise the Lord for a new family beginning to support our ministry.
• Praise the Lord for His blessings in our ministry and family!
• Praise the Lord for each of you who pray for us!

Dear Praying Partners,

It was a blessing to be able to work with the Awana kids at Awana camp last week in Alberta. Each of these kids earns their way to camp by finishing a book during the school year at Awana in their church. The camp week is filled with scripture memory, quizzing, chapel, games, training to teach others about the Lord and great food. We are so blessed to be able to work with each one of them. At the mailbox club we have been very busy grading the 568 Bible lessons that were mailed to us this past month. Please keep us in prayer as we grade many lessons each week.

Mail from our students:

“We just want you to know how much we love to do the Mailbox Club. It makes us closer to God and he has much people like you to teach us more about him. We love you, And we want you to know how much we love it and how much it means to us. May God bless you and your work.”
– Whitney, Damaris, and Kiara from Leask, Saskatchewan

Dear Praying Partners,

We are so thankful for the 447 Bible lessons that were mailed to us and graded this past month. It is such a blessing to be used of God to help people know for sure they are on their way to heaven and continue to grow in their knowledge of God’s Word! Many students write little notes on their lessons, and many ask questions when they are not sure of an answer in their lesson. Pray that God will give us wisdom to answer them Biblically.

Dear Praying Partners,

Our God is an awesome God!  We praise Him for all the blessings of this past month!  We were so busy, but praise the Lord for His blessings and strength to go on.  April started with a snowstorm, but we were praising the Lord anyway!  Joe preached at our church on April 7th on prayer and used one of the lessons from Basic Bible Truths through Source of Light Ministries.  On April 14th we went with our church to Porteous Lodge nursing home as we do every 2nd Sunday of each month.  On the 19th and 20th we set up our table at the annual Prophecy Conference here in Saskatoon at the Ramada Inn.  It is always a blessing to hear great preaching/teaching from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Friday and 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday. On the 21st we drove 2 hours north to Middle Lake where Joe preached, filling the pulpit of a pastor friend.  Western Tract Mission had their annual Music/Dessert night on the evening of the 24th, where we set up our Mailbox Club display once again.  We heard great singing by the Beam Family and enjoyed great desserts provided by the WTM board.
