Winnipeg Arrival

Hello from Winnipeg,

I arrived safely this afternoon. Sean and Jennifer Goulet have given me a warm welcome. I am staying at their home. I had a brief tour of the Lighthouse Mission facilities this afternoon. The mission feeds about 80-100 people each day, plus has some clothing to give away in a building pretty much original to downtown Winnipeg. Many of the clients are homeless or close to it. I will see more of the operations of the mission tomorrow.

The literacy training will be Tuesday and Thursday evenings and Saturday. Please be praying for those who are taking the training. Pray also for those who will be learning to read. I've heard a couple of stories this evening about the lives of those who struggle with not being able to read. I'll share more about those in another e-mail. Sean already has a couple of clients who want to learn to read. Many of them need to learn, but they have to want to learn as well. I'll try to post some photos later in the week.

Keep praying! A very needed ministry, and one our group is God-created to assist with.

Heading to Winnipeg

It has been a busy fall. God continues to broaden the ministry opportunities here in Canada. I head for Winnipeg this Monday for a basic literacy tutor training workshop. The Lighthouse Mission director, Sean Goulet, has a vision for providing literacy classes for the clients of the mission. He has about 8 tutors coming for the training and several clients already waiting to begin tutoring.

While in Winnipeg I hope to visit with several churches in the area to let them know about our ministry. Please pray for all that God is doing.
