Friendship Evangelism: Canada church plant update

I believe that Jesus is God. Raja Abid believes that Jesus is one of God's prophets. However, Raja Abid and I are friends. He loves to hang out at our house, eat my lamb chops, talk about the ladies, and read the Bible with me. He is far away, in my opinion from making a decision for Christ, but I feel the Lord leading me to be his friend and share Christ with him through that friendship. Please pray that the Holy Spirit would touch my new friend. Please also pray that the many Urdu speaking people in Fort McMurray could see a church planted here for them.


Justin is another new believer in Christ, and he is not out of the woods yet as far as his struggles due to living his life without Jesus for so many years. However, he is growing in his faith. We meet at least three times a week for Bible study and prayer. He is a great guy and has many friends and family that he wants to see come to Christ.

This last week Justin's mom, who has not asked Jesus to rule her life, commented to me that something has changed in Justin. She said with tears in her eyes "This last week, he actually carried on a conversation with me for the first time in a year. He even asked about me. Something is different about him." I was able to share with her the difference that Jesus makes in someone's life and she was open to finding out more about Justin's new Lord and Saviour.Please double your efforts in praying for Justin and his family and friends. My desire is for him to grow in his faith and see many of those in his life yield their life to Christ.Thank you for partnering with us to reach Justin for Christ.
