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.
