Off The Clock: Canada church plant update

I like lunch time when I am teaching at the college.

Sure, I am always a big fan of lunch, but I love it when I am able to let my hair down, so to speak, and be off the clock to answer spiritual questions for my students.

I do not hide at all my reason for coming to Fort McMurray when I am instructing at Keyano College. However, my boss would not appreciate nor tolerate me sharing the plan of salvation in the workshops that I teach. But lunchtime is my time, and I always have someone to share my lunchtime with. Many students lag behind in the classroom and ask me to help them out with some spiritual concept or idea or simply want me to share some insight with them on life, discouragement, love, parenting, or marriage.

Dale, a big, hairy, grown man who drives the biggest truck in the world for a living is one of these guys that lagged behind last week during lunch. Dale was crying about his loveless marriage and his many years of drunkenness. I got to share God's plan with Dale and he said that he would truly think about what I said.

Please pray that Dale does more than think about Christ's love and forgiveness. Also please pray for more "off the clock" lunchtime conversations.

The Everyday, Every Tuesday, Every Other Saturday Routine

Routines can be bad, but they can also be very good. We think that our routine for daily prayer with another believer here in Fort Mac is good.

We think our weekly Bible Study on Tuesday is a good routine.

We also know that our bi-monthly get together to play games, eat, share/evangelize, and build relationships with the Kavanaugh, Williams, and Paquette families that is also a good routine.

I need you to please pray specifically for each of these routines. In regards to our everyday routine of praying with another believer here in Fort Mac, please pray that our prayer partners, Mike and Kristin Frazier, will continue to sense God's call to partner with us to see Fort Mac won for Christ.
As for our weekly Bible Study, please pray that Roland, Ernie, and Dorothy would come to faith in Christ. Also pray that more people would want to belong to our Tuesday night group.
Our every other Saturday routine of having people over to eat, play games, and talk about life, love, God, faith, parenting, and relationships needs to be covered in prayer so that the enemy will not win the souls of those sharing a meal and life with us.
