We invite you to pray for these items whenever you have the opportunity to pray. Each day at 10:02 am/pm, we invite you to join a growing group who pause briefly wherever they are to pray for God to call out workers for the harvest in the manner of Luke 10:2 This week join us in praying for the Kingdom of God to be experienced in the city of Vancouver and for the words of this passage to become the focus of every leader in our area.

So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’  For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well..... Matthew 6:31-33

Pray with Thanksgiving…

We are thankful God has been glorified and comfort has been given as the Romanian community gathered this weekend to celebrate the life and death of Dina Jeler, wife of Flavius and daughter of Corneliu and Florica Ardelean, pastors for Bethel Romanian Church in Abbottsford. The gospel was proclaimed to the lost and faith was affirmed for the believer. Continue to pray for the family in the days ahead.
