Storm Warning

Another tropical storm is approaching our island. Typhoon Krathon predicted to affect our weather on Tuesday and Wednesday. The above graph shows the probability that we will have storm force winds.

The farmers are concerned that the storm winds and rain will damage their crops. It is common to see rice and corn fields flattened after the storm has passed. Facing such hardships is a part of life for many in our community. Please pray that we will have wisdom and the right words to empathize and comfort people as we interact with them.

The storm conditions may require us to make some adjustments in our schedule. If the conditions dictate, we will opt for “Plan B” and have our Wednesday afternoon meeting online.

Sometimes we need to be flexible. We are thankful that God extends sufficient grace to handle the unexpected. And, we know that same grace will be sufficient for you as you meet the unplanned moments in your week.

Blessings!

Praise and Prayer

  • Praise the Lord that the computer, sound system, and internet connection are working again.
  • A baptismal class will begin on October 5. Please pray for the students who are considering expressing their commitment to Christ in this way.
  • Global Gathering: March 1-6, 2025. We are planning to attend. Will we see you there?
  • Please pray for the process of saving funds and developing plans for the church to purchase a facility. Pray with us that God will help us to meet this year’s giving goal of CAD$20,000!
  • Peer pressure from family members and friends is one of the obstacles people must overcome as they consider whether to believe in Christ. Others are fearful that the local spirits will be displeased and will seek revenge. Please pray for the love of Christ and the power of the gospel to overcome these hindrances.
