Upcoming Events

The momentum is building!  Only 14% to go in our ministry support.

We want to keep you informed on some upcoming events. 

Coming up quickly is our Restaurant Day. Ash's has graciously offered to donate a portion of all sales on February 8, 2015, to our MAF ministry.  We invite you come for any meal that day and enjoy some great food as you support a great cause.  Ash's is open 7am -9pm that day.

 
 
Also in the works is a trip to Toronto area, Feb 10 - 12, 2015
 
At this point it is mostly the north of Toronto area but can expand out.  We are also flexible to shift those dates down to include the weekend if needed.  We will be getting together with some folks over coffee to share more about our MAF ministry and would love to meet up with you too.  If you live in the area, and want to visit, send us a quick note and we will work something out to get together with you.
 
 
And as always, we are open to any opportunity to share that comes our way.  Small groups, church meetings or Sunday school classes, we enjoy sharing about how God is at work in our lives and in reaching people with the Gospel through the work of MAF.

Heading to the Finish Line


Yes, the Finish Line is so close, we can see almost see it.
 
Our excitement is building as we realize that only 16% remains in our monthly ministry support needs. We are overwhelmed by the many who have encouraged us, prayed for us and partnered with us financially.  This journey has had it's ups and downs, but we serve an unchanging God, who's perfect timing and plan is always best.

We are still pressing on to complete our funding in the next few weeks.  We have some exciting things planned and want to invite you to be a part of it.  With only 16% to go, don't wait to give and miss out on being apart of this ministry with us and bringing real hope to remote communities.

Coming up February 8, a local restaurant owner in Forest, has graciously offered to give a percentage of all sales to our MAF ministry.  Come for Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner at Ash's Restaurant, 58 King Street East on Sunday, February 8th.  Treat yourself to lunch out and support our ministry as well.  It's a win win!



Also, we want to share some clarifying information with you.  As we have come through this year of ministry team building we have learned some things as we go, and want to be sure we have made them clear to each of you.  We continually share our need for monthly supporters, but did you know that a yearly gift is essentially the same thing!  If you have given a one time gift but plan to (or would like to) give this gift yearly, then as long as we know this, we can add it into our monthly support.  It is that simple, just let us know.  Everyone likes to budget differently and we can appreciate that, so we want to be sure that we have the giving options for you.   Our biggest request is that you let us know your intentions so we can account for it properly and our support goals reflect what is actually happening.

In the up coming weeks we will be sharing in Petrolia as well as in Forest and have a trip to the Toronto area in the works for mid Feb.  It is building up to be a busy time, as we finish up our ministry support raising and continue to purge and plan for the upcoming move.  Join us in praying for all the details that need to fall in to place and for our family as we move through these coming weeks.  We value you all, as people whom God has called to be a part of this ministry with us.
