God’s heart for our generation

Greetings,

This summer has been going well. We have been able to connect with many of you in person (those who live in the Lower Mainland, BC), which has been special for us. This is also the first time Cy is able to connect in person in 4 years!

On July 25th we had the privilege of sharing God’s heart in South Abbotsford Church. We wanted to make it available to everyone because it captured God’s vision to End Bible Poverty, our story of how we are journeying with God in that vision and a description of what we are doing in ministry. Someone commented afterwards, saying,

“We receive your emails but were not really clear on what you were doing. Your explanation this morning really clarified things for us.”

The comment surprised us and we are now making the effort to clarify things for everyone who may have questions. Here’s the video ▶:

Please contact us if you’d like to get involved in Ending Bible Poverty in your corner of the world. This is a global effort of the body of Christ and we all can work together to see the end of Bible poverty in our generation!

And here are some pictures of our time with family and friends this summer…

Rob went to do the 2-week intensive for the Master’s in Global Pioneering Leadership at the end of June…
Part of the students met in Orlando, Florida 🇺🇸 and the other part met in Geneva, Switzerland 🇨🇭 due to COVID complications around the world. Both groups were “in the same class”, connected online.

Our family spent time visiting YWAM locations in Canada 🇨🇦 and sharing our hearts and ministry for Ending Bible Poverty Now.
We visited the YWAM base in Dunham, Quebec:

Then we did a road trip to Alberta to visit YWAM in Turner Valley for a few days…
