Faithful is He that calleth you, who also will do it. Brethren, pray for us.
1 Thessalonians 5:24-25
Hello from Canada,
Praise God for great blessings! We have been in lockdown since the end of March, but for us, our lives have not changed much, except for not being able to go to church and Bible study. We are very involved in Awana, and sadly that ministry was shut down very early in the pandemic. I also drive a school bus to help supplement our income. Thankfully the school system is still paying me even though the schools are shut down. Praise God!! One encouraging surprise was that, since schools are shut down, more lessons have been completed recently.
Since everything is shut down, we were unable to host our annual fundraiser in April. Each month the support that we need to operate is about $600. Pray with us as we rethink ways to raise money for our ministry. We recently sent an email requesting that if our supporters would like to help, they can send us a check or e-transfer. Any one in the U.S. can give by sending funds to us through Source of Light Ministries, 1011 Mission Road, Madison, GA 30650. anyone in Canada can send money to us by e-transfer to canada@slmin.org or by sending a check to our mission at P.O. Box 487, Hepburn, SK S0K 1Z0. Those who give will, of course, get a tax receipt.
We have a new fundraiser planned for this year. God brought to our minds a unique fundraiser from farmland: planting and selling a crop to help raise support for our mission. I know nothing about this process, but after talking to one of our board members who is a farmer, he told me about some land that he knows of that would work. Within a couple of weeks after talking to him, God worked out all the details of getting the crop planted, harvested, and sold for this fall. So, starting this spring our mission is going to have 60 acres of canola. I will post pictures of what is happening with this throughout the summer on our Facebook pages and www.slmcanada.com. Because this is going to depend on the weather, we are relying on God for His blessings. According to His Word, we know that what God has started He will finish. Praise God!!
In His service
