“But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”

Philippians 4:19

This has been a year to remember, but God is in control of everything. The biggest challenge for us has been the mandatory lockdown and the fear of contracting coronavirus.

With all the changes going on this year, we had to find a creative way to support our mission’s expenses. This year we were able to rent 60 acres of land to plant a crop. With the help of one of our board members who is also a farmer, we purchased seed and planted canola, and it was a great success. At the end of harvest, God multiplied the crop for us, and we raised $30,000 for the mission! God showed us that even in uncertain times, He is always in control.

Due to COVID restrictions keeping many people indoors, our incoming lessons have increased this year. Several lessons sent out a couple of years ago are even coming back. Isn’t God good? Of course, with the increase in lessons, the cost of postage has increased. However, with the money coming in from the sale of our crop, we should be able to handle the difference. For your information, the least expensive first-class stamp is 92 cents to mail out a single Bible lesson. When we mail out two lessons in an envelope, the cost goes up to $1.30. As you can see, it can get very expensive to mail our lessons out. But God uses the money spent, because the increase in lessons also means an increase of salvation decisions! Fourteen people have placed their faith in Christ because of these mailed lessons this year!

Along with Bible lessons, we send out Sugar Creek Gang books to each child that sends us five names and addresses of potential Mailbox Club members. So far this year we have sent out 53 books. That is over 265 new contacts. New names mean more lives changed through the work of God and the growth of our outreach ministry.

We really appreciate your financial and prayer support. Without your sacrifice we could not keep serving God up here in Canada. We love each one of you and are praying that in 2021 God will stop the spread of this virus, and life will return to normal.

In His service,

Joe and Penny Homontowski
