This summer, the Hope Centre had two week long children Bible classes. One was held at the premises of the Hope Centre; the other in a new neighbourhood which is heavily populated with Sikhs, Hindus and Muslims. Between the two, 150 children attended (90% from non-Christian families). The door is open into many of these families, as many of them are looking for something “moral” for their children. All families have been followed up on and the follow-up continues with weekly Saturday Bible classes which began September 15.
Prayer Requests
1. We are thankful for the support the churches are providing in sending youth to help out in these timely projects.
2. At the Hope Centre, we continue to meet weekly for worship. Some have been attending for a longtime but have not yet committed themselves to Christ and Christian baptism.
3. Plans are underway to organize a open-air campaign among the Sikhs and Hindus, planned for the evenings of June 7 and 8, 2008. Rev. Kuldip Gangar (a minister with the Free Reformed Churches of North America plans to preach). We pray that a venue such as a park may open up to us so that the cause of Christ may be served through the preaching of the gospel among the unconverted masses.
4. We are thankful for a new volunteer. Our volunteers, Brian and Karen Zegers, have left us to go to Hamilton where Brian plans to study at Redeemer University. Now Mr. Jason Keuning (his wife and three children) plan to help us part time. Jason is a graduate from Puritan Reformed Serminary and a member of the Free Reformed Church in St. George.
