Pray for our overseas worker, Priscilla, as she requests prayer to reconnect with two local friends and for the time she had with with a woman she just recently met. Priscilla is encouraged that she has been able to pray with a local lady as well as talk to her about the "word."
Priscilla is also thankful that she has been able to focus on her business-related tasks in the last couple of weeks. This is important as it legitimizes her presence in the country. And lastly, pray that her air conditioning will be fixed shortly as the lack of air conditioning has driven her to sleep at a friends.

From Gary Schellenberg:
Most of you are aware of the coup in Myanmar and the suspension of democracy in that country. The coup resulted in many arrests and upheaval in that country. Christians are being persecuted to the point of death and many are in hiding. As well, Christians are being driven off of their lands and the Church has taken upon itself to house, clothe and feed these displaced people. Covid has just added another layer of despair to the people and they are losing hope. 70 years of suppression have dulled their sense of freedom.
I am telling you this because at Providence University College and Seminary, we have been a training school for the Kachin people (a Province in Myanmar) for many years We currently have a number of students from Kachin Province studying at Providence. One of the leading figures of the Kachin people is a grad of Providence and his name is Samson. Samson has been a fierce advocate of the Kachin Christians and has asked for all Christians to unite in prayer for Myanmar. For the relief from the Covid virus and from government suppression. As you are reminded, would you please pray for the Kachin people and the turmoil in that country.

From Kevin Klassen:
Hello, church family. This morning at 3:30, my Dad passed away peacefully and went home to be with Jesus. My Mom, sister and I were all in the room with him when he passed.
We are grateful for the many obvious ways that the Lord has shown His faithfulness in my Dad's life, and we have been blessed by the time we have had with him.
We will miss him deeply, and I would appreciate your prayers, especially for my Mom, during this difficult time.
