It's Monday Again
Good Monday afternoon!
Shaun Fevens who is originally from Yarmouth and is a part of our Halifax Metro church is a member of the reserves in the Canadian Armed Forces and is presently stationed in Afghanistan. He was recently injured when the vehicle in which he was riding struck an explosive device that killed six of his comrades riding in the vehicle with him. I know that Shaun and his family would welcome your prayer support.

Phil Hutchins, the new youth pastor at Sussex (Neville Gosman), reported 31 first-time decisions for Christ at a recent regular youth night. PTL!
Presque Isle (Rick Kavanaugh) had a special missions offering on Easter Sunday with the total reaching $110,000. The projects supported by this offering are located in Swaziland, Guatemala City, evangelistic teams in the jungles of Guatemala, and bringing an intern from Africa for six months’ training here in North America. Our hats are off to Pastor Rick and his crew for this excellent response to Great Commission ministry. Incidentally, their regular weekly income on Easter Sunday was $4,000 over the required budget as well.

Our DBA continues its focused and diligent work on the DS search and selection process. This past week, the board held a conference call and will be meeting in person on Wednesday of this week. Thank you for your continued interest and prayers in this significant process.
This past week, I was privileged to meet with our DBMD in Sussex on Tuesday and Wednesday as we interviewed ministerial students, most of whom are students at the college. It is very encouraging to interact with these young prophets-in-process and to sense their heartbeat for ministry. I believe the future of the church looks bright and encouraging.
On Thursday of this past week I was in Ottawa for a meeting with two members of the World Hope Canada executive committee. I also met, on behalf of The Wesleyan Church of Canada, with representatives of the mission works of the former Standard Church in Egypt, Ghana, and Mexico.
THOT: If the Christian Gospel is not for everyone, it is not for anyone. If the church is not a home for all, it is not a home at all. – Maxie Dunnam
