We welcomed two new kids to JOY Club and gave each a Bible. On the school bus the next day, one had her Bible out and was reading Jonah. On Easter Sunday, I baptized three children who were confident in their salvation and wanted to identify with Christ. The church is excited and thankful to see the Lord moving in children’s hearts!

A local greenhouse hires workers from Thailand. The owner is a Christian, and he organizes occasional activities for the workers that allow them to hear the gospel. So far, 12 have become believers, and up to 16 meet regularly. A Thai pastor comes bi-monthly to disciple them. The owner invited me to speak at their Easter event, and with an interpreter, I shared God’s salvation plan from creation to the cross. We pray that God will draw many more to himself through this ministry. The post Richard & Rhonda Adrian, Meadowbrook, AB appeared first on Village Missions of Canada ..read more

Josie and I set up a church booth at the Greenville Community Easter Egg Hunt. To tell the gospel, we handed out jellybeans in “wordless book” colors. We gave out Bible-themed coloring books and a card with information about our church. As a result, four new adults and six new children joined us at church on Resurrection Sunday.

Deer Trail is along the I-70 corridor and 50 miles east of the Denver metro area. Our town was one of the old train line water stops; now Deer Trail and other towns along the corridor are mushrooming as people buy property “in the country” or a home in one of the many new housing developments. Since Deer Trail has few businesses, most residents commute to work. PRAYER REQUESTS: Pray for a ripple of impact in the community from our Easter week services. We will retire at the end of June. Please pray for our congregation and deacon board during this transition. Pray that the right mis ..read more

Another church leader and I started a group chat to connect and encourage the men in the church. I have been surprised by how many participate, ask questions, share prayer requests, and encourage each other. We did a 21-day challenge reading a chapter of John each day. Through text messages, we discussed what the passage revealed about Jesus, human nature, and what God has done or expects of us in response. There was a lot of interaction and learning over the three weeks! The post Matt & Shanay Deneault, Cardston, AB appeared first on Village Missions of Canada ..read more

We held our second Sportsman’s Banquet, a free event for anyone in Worley and nearby communities. Tom Owen — Village Missionary in Tensed, ID — helped organize and promote it. This year’s guest speaker is a committed Christian who leads Idaho Fish & Game Education. The event included a delicious meal, a “mystery meats” game, and prizes. Most importantly, we shared the Gospel and connected with many people. Over 150 people participated. We are thrilled with this outreach!

We are in a small community in northeast Maine. This formerly productive logging community is now a small town.

Praise for the Women’s Bible study and pray for continued spiritual growth ..read more

We started a Good News Club at the school. We’ve had 10-12 kids every week. As we share the Gospel with these children, we pray they will place their faith in Jesus and grow in Him. We also pray for good connections with their parents. I (Travis) also meet students as I teach guitar and piano for a music club at the school.
