An update on our daughter Tanya.
She had gallbladder surgery on Tuesday night. The surgery was a difficult one due to the gallbladder being quite inflamed. We are so thankful that the doctor was able to remove it in time. Tanya was released from the hospital today (Friday). Please pray for continued healing & a quick recovery.
Thank you for praying.

Hello Church Family
An update on my mom Magdalene. She is at home and recovering from passing a gall stone and pancreatitis attack. My brother spent the past week with her and she has reduced the pain medication she is taking.
There is concern of another gall stone because of the discomfort. She has a follow up appointment next week.
Please pray for continued healing and that there will be no gall stones.
Thank you.

Please pray for my sister Carol who has a very aggressive, inoperable brain tumor. She will be starting Chemo & Radiation soon in an effort to slow the growth (they don’t think they will be able to shrink the tumor). Please pray for healing and that the treatment would go well and be effective. Pray that she would put her faith in the Lord, that He would supply her every need and for strength & wisdom for us all as we do our best to help and support her through this.

Update for the officers in Ukraine.
To date, there has been no news on Police Chaplain Denis who was captured over a month ago we pray for his safe release. A praise item is that all the other officers and chaplains involved in the rescue missions are safe so far. We continue to pray for their safety and their ability to carry out the rescues and the delivery of humanitarian aid.

Police chaplains and police officers across Canada are grieving over the invasion of Ukraine. Many have relatives in the Ukraine and ancestral roots within the country. Since the 2019 Canadian police mission trip to the Ukraine many chaplains and police officers became friends. We recently learned that Ukraine Police Chaplain Denis had been captured by the Russians. We ask that you lift Chaplain Denis and his family up in prayer. Please pray for all Police Chaplains and Police Officers in the Ukraine. We also pray specifically for Police Chaplain/Ukrainian Academy of Chaplains Administrator Pavlo Tsarevskyi and other police chaplains who have acquired buses and have evacuated over 3000 people. They have brought food and supplies and the love of Christ to desperate people while continually risking their lives. We see police chaplains and police officers working hand in hand to serve the people of Ukraine.
We pray that God would continue to bless them with courage and wisdom. "The Lord bless them and keep them; the Lord make his face to shine upon them and be gracious to them; the Lord lift up his countenance upon them and give them peace" Numbers 6:24-26

Further to the incident this morning where our grandson was hit by a car, please pray for the young girl who was driving that car, as this must be traumatizing for her too.
Please pray that she would feel the arms of Jesus around her today.

Our dad is still at St Bonfice hospital.
We had a meeting with the team yesterday to see how to move forward. His mobility is gone so the care that is needed now is different to before. Please pray for wisdom for us all as we make some big decisions.
My dad's faith is strong. He is eating much better than before. We would appreciate your prayers.

Thanks to all who prayed for the baby we were wanting to have placed with us. God moved mountains and they said yes! We are so excited for her to join our family.
Please pray the transition goes smoothly. Especially in light of the fact that she’s arriving this Sunday, and the following day Adam is leaving for a 10 day work trip to the arctic. So I’ll be solo parenting 4 kids ages 5 and under for a bit. Thanks for praying!

A friend of ours let us know about a 2 month old baby who needs a long term foster home. We prayed about it, then said yes! She’s currently being fostered by another agency, and that agency agreed to place her with us as she had no other options. Our agency initially agreed, but now are backing out (stuff I can’t say due to confidentiality). Our social worker appealed the decision on our behalf as we really believe this baby is meant to be with us. We will know within the next day or two if our director had a change of heart. Please pray that God softens the heart of the director of our agency so this baby can be placed with us. This baby has no other options…if she doesn’t get placed with us, she’s going to a group home which is heart breaking. She deserves a loving family. Please join us in prayer that we can bring this baby home!

Courtney Joy and Andrew Friesen want to thank everyone for their prayers. Courtney Joy's surgery went well and she is now recovering. Praise the Lord for that and all glory to Him that all went well. She is still in pain, so please pray that the pain will go away soon. Hopefully she'll be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. Please continue to pray for quick recovery and for God's protection.

Please continue to pray for Priscila as she has tested positive for Covid. She put it this way, "pray that I would not lose my mind while I quarantine in my apartment for 6 more days." Also, please pray for another new family who is supposed to be arriving soon and that they would be able to settle in to their new homes.
Priscila is also thankful that the lady she is is seeing is open to her reading and praying together and that she is able to share with neighbors what she believes.
She also would be thrilled if you would send her an email (on the missions page) as she loves updates on what is happening in the Church family.
Priscila has put her life out there where it is very difficult to testify about one's faith. We do not experience that in Canada. We might sometimes be ridiculed for our faith but rarely persecuted. So, let's remember Priscila and pray for safety as she goes about her daily tasks in a country hostile to the gospel.
