7 weeks, 7 people

Spring is a time for new things - leaves budding and the grass turning green.  A 7-week Supper Study has sprung up on McMillan Avenue. We are glad to have 7 people at our dining room table for Carolee's homemade soup and Ken's homemade bread. Then we have a study and sharing time, guided by our new book Forgiveness, Finding Freedom and Healing and most of all, guided by what the Bible teaches on forgiveness.

We, Ken and Carolee Neufeld, are pleased to announce that our new book, Forgiveness, Finding Freedom and Healing, was launched on Saturday, April 6th, 2019! 

On that same evening, a team from the French Fellowship at Calvary Temple shared stories from Africa. They told of the atrocities being experienced through civil war and the great need for victims to forgive instead of seeking revenge or living in bitterness. They told their own experiences of being shot, tortured, imprisoned and then choosing to forgive.

Teams from that congregation have translated Living Free materials into French, Swahili, Lingala and Juba Arabic. In the summer of 2019 there will be a second trip to Africa to teach pastors and community leaders about forgiveness. At the cost of 80 cents a piece (Cdn), they will be printing 9,000 workbooks for use in Uganda and the DRC. So far almost $5,000 has come in for this project. Donations are welcome! You can call Ken at 204-612-6758 to find out how you can make a contribution.
