“Did ya have good vibes?” This was the question Linda was asked by our Canadian emigration officer after she (by the Lord’s power) granted us a work visa and entrance into Canada. She was asking if we had “good vibes” about visiting our new church where we will be working. If you have not heard our emotional roller coaster story about trying to gain entrance into Canada, it is enough to say that the prayers from both sides of the border were powerful. Our new pastor and wife, Joey and Maura Mask, also put incredible efforts into all the paperwork required. We have “landed” in Canada and have begun to focus on the task for which we have been called and sent. The question about “good vibes” just reminded us that the majority of Christians have no reference to church, the Bible or even the work of the Holy Spirit. It was another confirmation from the Lord that we were right where we needed to be.
 
Already we have felt His peace and love from our new Faith Family. They surrounded us in prayer on our first Sunday of worship. About 20 of them showed up to unload our life from the truck… even though they knew the possibility existed of reloading for us to leave the country. Yes! We do have good “vibes” (Holy Spirit) abour our new home and work. The task is greater, the calling is greater than us, but we know the Holy Spirit and the power of the One sending us is the greatest.

We wish to thank Faye and Michael McCarron for their help each month in putting together this Prayer Letter. Faye inserts all the Prayer Letters and runs the postage machine. Mike does all the stamping. What a great team! Their ministry to us is huge and greatly appreciated!

We would also like to thank those from North Lanier Baptist Church who loaded our 26ft moving truck in Cumming and did an amazing job of fitting it all inside. Everything arrived safely 6 days and nearly 3,000 miles later at our new home in Kelowna where it was met by another team from The Potter’s House Community Church who formed an assembly line and had the truck unloaded and into the house in less than 2 hours. This is the Church being the Church and we are indebted to everyone who helped. We praise God for you all!
 
Abiding in Him,

Ron and Linda
