“Faithful is He that calleth you, who also will do it. Brethren, pray for us.”

1Thessalonians 5:24-25

Hello from Canada,

We are so glad to see summer come again to Saskatchewan. This is always a beautiful time to see how God shows His power in creation. We just enjoy driving around and see all the different crops. In June, we were able to take some time off to go to the lake to fish and relax. Now that July is here, it is getting very busy. We were grateful to be able to share our mission at a new church this summer. This was a great blessing, since we have found Canadian churches hesitant to allow us in the door to present our ministry.

When we moved into our new house five years ago we mounted a 4×8 sheet of plywood that had John 14:6 on it. Being out in the elements, it became weathered. We sent the printing company a design for a new sign to put on our building. The new sign now has our mission name on it along with John 14:6 and is made to withstand the weather. We are very happy with how it turned out!

We are also excited about the statistics from the first half of the year. We sent out 1,401 lessons, graded 1,407 lessons and sent out 102 certificates. The biggest blessing has been the number of salvation decisions so far this year! Last year ten people received Christ as their Savior, but this year we have already seen sixteen!!! That makes all our time and efforts so worth it.

The last week of July two big events will happen. Starting Sunday, July 23, we will attend a mission conference close to our home in Hepburn, and starting Monday, July 24, we are hosting a 5-Day Club in our back yard. This will be the first time to host this type of club for children in our new home. There are many children around, so pray that we successfully plant the seeds of God’s Word in their hearts and see some fruit.

Below are some pictures of our sign and what canola looks like in full bloom. Thanks for your faithful prayer and financial support.

In His Service,

Joe and Penny
